English Curriculum

Coming into Drexel, I was really nervous about my classes and the workload, especially English (not my strong subject!). Choosing the option of taking a hybrid class on the English placement test was something I wasn’t too sure of. I really did not know what to expect! On the first day, I learned that the class only meets face to face once a week and everything else is done online. I was really excited hearing that because I was so used to having English class everyday in high school and dreading it. I thought it was extremely boring and I had a difficult time paying attention and staying attentive. The hybrid class and its curriculum has been really motivating, especially for someone who is not strong in English, like me. I really got into Project 1 because I got to choose the event and the argument, and I was able to ague something that I thought was relative to my life and the lives of many other college students. It feels good being able to write something that you have a lot to say about. Having assignments that are interesting is what keeps me motivated, especially when it comes to writing. I mean seriously, no one likes writing about something they are not interested in. I am very happy with the curriculum and the motivation that I acquire in doing the assignments. The disscussions in class are also very informative and interesting. I learn so much listening to the opinions of the other students around me and I am also able to express how I feel and my opinions and thoughts.
