Blog 16: Final Reflection

And so it comes to an end. But do I really want it to? It's kind of a bitter sweet ending, I think. Everyone loves the end of the semester and no more classes and I'm definitely no exception, but this is one of the few classes I actually enjoyed and didn't mind doing assignments for. This class was a whole new experience for me. I have taken English classes before, but never one with a theme, and an interesting one at that. And I have never done a blog-based class before. I really enjoyed doing the assignments on the blogs for a few reasons: 1) it was super convenient; I travel so much so being able to pull the assignments up anywhere there was a computer instead of dragging a notebook everywhere was so much easier 2) I'm always on the computer when I'm home so I was more likely to look at the blogs and do my assignments when I was bored and 3) I like typing so much better than writing; my hand gets less tired.

I really enjoyed the theme aspect of the class. I thought the supernatural was an interesting theme to pick and not something boring. And not to mention my boyfriend is a supernatural and movie junkie, so I had a lot of resources for finding material for the class. I've talked to him about the class and the assignments before and he said that you would probably be someone he would want to hang out with haha. What am I going to take away from this class? I learned a lot in this class while enjoying it. I learned how to analyze poems, wordings and films a lot better and have me think deeper into them. I saw the movie Splice last night and was thinking about what I learned in class while watching the movie (The title almost sounds like a combination between splat and slice. Sounds like a good horror to me!).

While I personally do not know anyone who is looking to take an ENG 102 class, if I did, or if I meet someone who does I would highly recommend someone to take this class. I really enjoyed this class; I learned a lot while having fun doing it. Okay, well that's all I have to say. Thank you professor for making this a fun and not so Monday-like class, I enjoyed it. :)
