Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Hybrid class

The English curriculum has me thinking in all sorts of ways I didn't before. For example, my first assignment I did was about the event "Night on the Row." When I received feedback, there were things mentioned that never crossed my mind. Basically, you want to write as if the reader has no clue about anything related to the subject. During class discussions there isn't a wrong answer, there are just observations and anything might be helpful to the discussion. The curriculum provided motivation because I was never a person to like English class. Through feedback and everything I can work on my mistakes. My writing has gotten much better and I can see the impact right away. All in all, everything makes you think in the class. Trying to spoon feed the reader and make them believe as if they were their.
