I cannot believe how fast this semester went by, and I especially can’t believe that this is my last blog post before the final. I really enjoyed this class so much, this felt like a “real” University class like the type you see in movies where students are expressing their opinions on a topic and just students actually collaborating and being a part of the class. I learned a lot in this class, I took this class to keep my writing skills sharp since I have not written an essay for over a year before taking this class. As well I have such a deep love for literature and that aspect that I wanted to enroll in a class that will encourage my passions. I really learned how to put my thoughts into words and clearly convey them and make them sound very eloquent. I have become very proud of my writing skills because I have seen a big improvement with how I convey my ideas about a topic and making it sound very “intelligent.” Besides learning how to better my writing, I have also learned how to get over my fear a little of speaking in front of a class, and feeling more confident in myself and not being shy to share my thoughts on topics we have discussed in this class. I will truly never forget about this class and all that it has taught me this semester, and I am looking forward to use these skills in other classes and be able to correlate ideas we have discussed in class to other classes I take in the future. Thank you professor for such an amazing semester.
I am glad you learned to have confidence in your voice, written and oral; you should! And, I love that this felt like “a “real” University class like the type you see in movies where students are expressing their opinions on a topic “. I am picturing Robin Williams (Dead Poets’ Society) or Julia Roberts (Mona Lisa Smile) smiling.. and it makes me very happy!
