The second half of this semester was completely different compared to the first half. Honestly, I enjoyed the second half much more than the first. Considering this is an English composition class, I took it hoping to write, a lot. After Professor Marsh gave us the Vision Quest “Survival Kit”, I was actually quite happy that we would finally get to write a couple essays. Of course, I was trying to keep up with my Blog, but for some reason I really wanted to write more. I know that I’m not an amazing writer and I’m sure that I could use some work, but I think that my writing has improved, if even a little bit. The second half of this semester got my brain going, in a sense. I was able to write a couple papers of my own choosing, which gave me the opportunity to write what and how I wanted, which is absolutely love.
The part that really helped me this semester was the group projects that we did. I learned how to write a complete and correct sentence and I think (and hope) that my writing reflects on what I learned. I think that it was the most productive part of the second semester because we got to use what we learned into our writing for our final essays. I know that I personally went back to a couple of the handouts that were given out in class and reread a couple points to help improve my final essay.
I did enjoy this class a lot but I would leave Professor Marsh with one piece of advice. The first half of the semester, there was little to no writing involved, which made us student very lazy. We all thought that this class was going to be a breeze because we wouldn’t need to do any actual writing, other than the Blogs. So, I would just suggest a couple essays, or paragraphs or some writing other than the Blogs. We get very lazy and then when we get, in a sense, ‘dumped’ with the whole ‘Survival Kit’ and we get overwhelmed. Other than that tiny difference, I think that this class was really very enjoyable, and I think that I learned many things and improved my writing.
