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.

motivated and interested
Ever since starting this hybrid English class at Drexel University I have experienced a different level of motivation and interest in what I’m doing. This is because of the way this English class is taught. As a hybrid class we only meet once a week and have a number of assignments due online throughout the week. I think this form of curriculum has definitely motivated me more than previous high school English classes. By allowing the students to review each other’s works and write in both formal and informal styles nothing ever gets as boring as it did in high school. Where I just wrote simply to fill the page requirement for my current assignment. Also, the readings we do in this class are far more interesting than the ones in my prior English classes. They are current day and don’t require us to dismantle every word the author has written. Which I feel ruins even a good book. I’m actually motivated to read these texts and the book as I feel the information is useful and will aide me later in my writings. All in all I like this “new” way of doing an English class as I feel it’s a much better way to learn how to write a good paper, no matter what the situation. I can’t wait to see what we’ll do next.
