So it’s the end of the road, the last week of class. WooHoo!! It has been a long semester for me because I am a full time student, I work, and I am a single mother. At the beginning of the semester when I first looked on Blackboard at this classes weekly assignments I was a little scared. There seemed to be a lot of work even from the first week! Being a full time student and not having a lot of spare time on my hands I was a little worried about the amount of work given to us but as the semester went on I had a great time learning and completing the assignments. There were a few that I missed (oops) and there were a few that I didn’t enjoy (completing For Analysis questions) but for the most part I really enjoyed this class. I think that Professor Gross is an amazing teacher, even through an online class I feel that I learned a lot from her. I also enjoyed the other students in the class whose group I shared and whose blogs I read. This was not my first English class and I am positive that it will not be my last (I’m a single subject English major, eek!) but I did enjoy the class a great deal and am hoping that there are other English classes that Professor Gross teaches that I will be able to take.
As far as saying good bye to everyone, good bye. I hope that you all enjoyed the class as much as I did and I hope we all pass with flying colors! I know that we didn’t meet in person but like I said earlier I really enjoyed working with the people in my group and reading and responding to other peoples blogs. There are a lot of interesting people in this class and it was nice to see other peoples perspective on a lot of the different subjects that we covered. I hope you all do good in your classes and that finals don’t stress anyone out too much. I look forward to hopefully taking a few more classes with some of the people in this class and seeing how we mesh together in person and not just over the internet.
All in all, I guess I just hope that everyone had a good time and that everyone got what they expected out of the class. I hope that everyone goes where they are heading and that there are not a whole lot of problems on the way there. I hope everyone has a good summer, if you’re taking summer classes (like I am) I hope that they aren’t too rough on us and that everyone succeeds in their endeavors. Have a good rest of the year everyone!

I completely agree with you, I loved having Jennifer as a teacher. I let myself get a bit overwhelmed by some of the work, but I still found that I enjoyed some of the assignments, and because of how the class was structured, I learned more than I have before in previous classes. I've never had a large interest in English, I was a book worm but nothing more, but I feel that I learned things in this class, about myself, other people, and English in general. I certainly think that my writing level has been bumped up a little bit, and that I now have an easier time of being able to write on topics in general, even ones that I would not normally choose. I am certainly not planning on any more English classes personally, but I certainly wish you the best of luck in your endeavours!
ReplyDeleteI am right along with you when it came to the FA questions. I couldn't stand them especially the ones with like 8 or more questions. This was definitely a grueling semester and you must be truly dedicated to staying on top of your work. I am personally a procrastinator or usually I put so many things on my plate that I can’t keep up and everything starts spiraling out of control. Like you I missed some assignments and boy did they reflect on my grade, I could really kick myself for that I understand that this is not a mediocre class but you’re right we had a lot of reading and writing to do I felt I could not think fast enough to keep and I thought my fingers would fall off from all the typing. Jennifer is an excellent teacher and I could only imagine how much harder this class would have been if I had taken it with someone else, she really tries to make sure we have a handle on this English 102.Wow you are an English major whew good luck!!!! Do u want to be a teacher once you’re done with your schooling? I wish you the best of luck and I hope you prosper in all that you desire.
