Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go (E.
L. Doctorow).
Discourse 300 Was very different and difficult for me
but it was a course I believe I very well needed. I am not used to having a
hard time in an English class. I learned about what I lacked in and what I was
good at. In the past I was very much used to research paper based English classes,
which are way different than this blogging class style. This class made me
really use my brain to think and come up with arguments when writing an essay. I
had to take some time and actually think how to even write for this class and
overcome a little personal inside discouragement that I implemented within my
own head. What I loved about this class is the discussion leader. I liked how
you made sure every had to voice their point of view on the stories. I am a
very introverted person, so this made me have to become a little extroverted
for a few days. I really didn’t care for the online assignment posting as we
went throughout the class. I do better when I have a schedule of every
assignment the class will have at the beginning because it takes me longer to
write what the average person would write so I usually start earlier on
assignments. Also, I believe it is king of hard for people who are not as
advanced with using blogger, or doing work electronically and turning it in. I
would have liked turning in actual papers and assignments in better than
posting them. The weekly quizzes did a great job making sure us readers stayed
on “our toes”. The weekly print out points helped as a reminder to read for the
actual quiz in the begging of the class. Something that I really liked about the class
was how Ms.Casady let the class flow in whatever direction we would end up in,
an you let people have their own perspective on things. I believe Ms. Casady
was a very good teacher and wanted everyone to become a better writer. As a
teacher there was never a day that she was rude or didn’t seem like she wanted
to be there. I also liked that she could tell apart the different personalities
in the class and understood that some students were not as open as all
students. I believe Ms. Casady did a great job learning every actual student
over the semester. Also, another great thing was about her sharing her actual
life and background in the begging and throughout the year and bringing us
honey to taste. As Stated by Gustave Flaubert, the art of writing is the art
of discovering what you believe. This class definitely Tested writers to figure
out what points and arguments did they really believe in or to present good
essays and speeches. I like everything about this class, with a exemption of
the Online portion.
