Course Reflection

I am with my colleague! It is better to know the completion of an assignment, than to know about it but ignore it completely. The course was very interesting. I have taken another English course for 802 where my professor focused on Status Anxiety instead of Animal Ethics. In the prior course, my motivation to write, analyse, and argue was severely depressed. This time around, I was intrigued by the topic of the class: its validity, severity, and relativity to the my own existence. It helps me to have a more positive outlook on academic writing because I know what to look for, or how to connect myself into the topic that I am writing about in the paper. In conclusion, If I had to change anything about this course, it would be the portfolio. It is adorable the way the English departments bands together and disperse student essays for grading almost anonomously, however, I would much prefer being graded by my professor per due date of the paper(s). Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but this idea of a portfolio is a bit intimidating and less intimate. I feel like just another 9 1 1 0 9 3 7..... You get the idea!
