A New Class

Year after year, I am enrolled in an english class as party of my school curriculum. Not because I want to be, but because it is required. I have never really enjoyed this subject. But that changed this year.

In the short time I have been at Drexel, english has become one of my favorite classes. In that past the course has been very stale. Learning basic principles of writing, creating a bland essay that really required no effort or critical thinking, then turning it in. Repeat this over nine months and it gets real old, real fast.

In Mr McCann's class, I have been introduced to a few new things I have never previously been exposed to. Peer reviewing is a new concept to me. Not only was it great to get a fellow student's opinion, but after seeing the fabulous reviews I received I will now try to deliver the same type of advice to others. 

Another part of class I really enjoy are the discussions and how they are related to everyday life. For example, the Saturday Night Live and Scooby Doo clips. Once something is taught this makes it much easier to really absorb the information and retain it rather than just forgetting it as soon at 11:50 hits the clock. 

Lastly, I am very glad I chose to take the hybrid class. It has taught me how to manage my time better and I feel more independent working on our projects.
