Class Structure

The structure of this class is amazing. Blogging has definitely made me put more thought into what I write simply because I know it's not going to only be seen by the teacher, marked with a grade, and handed back to me. This system makes English fun. I think reading other posts and commenting on them is fun, it's always nice to hear words of encouragement or critiques of something I've put time into. My audience-awareness is improving since I'm trying to think about who it is I want to convey any one message to, and how to do that in the best possible way. Being that setting up this blog is 1. free, 2. easy, and 3. less time intrusive, I think that many classes would benefit much more from the blogging than from two 3-hour class sessions. "Regular" class structures are boring, this class is innovative, progressive, way better than basically all of the English classes I've ever taken.

I'm excited to hear the glowing praise of the current structure, and hopefully the Tuesday sessions aren't too boring for you!
