hybrid class

I chose the hybrid class without thinking twice, not even bothered about how different it would be because I didnt think it would be that different. I was wrong. I have never been a fan of English. Anytime there was an assignment I scribbled something and was done.When I finally dropped English as a subject I was relieved because I thought I know had time to focus on my "real subjects".
Coming to Drexel and joining the hybrid course just made my dislike for English escalate. I love the class, the atmosphere is rather relaxed, but once we start with the assignments themselves, its not fun anymore.First of all I didnt even understand most of the assignments because they were too vague. Free range was something I wasnt used to. Detail is very important, everything has too be described in depth, but you were not supposed to just state the facts, you were supposed to show it.I have to think up arguments from practically nothing or turn a one-sentence answer into two paragraphs All the work I have done in this course just made me loathe the subject itself. But the funny thing is, while I grumble a lot about English,my English writing has never been better.
