Mid-semester Evaluation
I enjoy our Learning Community because it challenges me in ways that my high school English classes didn't. The fact that our writing assignments are so drastically different from each other (i.e. the Ode, SLAM poem, and analytical Crash paper) that we are able to practice a variety of different kinds of writing. In high school, it was always the analytical essay that we repeated over and over again. I like the freedom here that we are given, and a new kind of assignment is always a good challenge.
What is also good about our classes is that all of the people here really want to learn. We help each other with our writing and critique each other's opinions. Having someone edit my paper helped immensely, and has helped me become a better editor myself. I recently edited a friend's paper and he was shocked at how thorough and original my comments were. I don't think I could have done it without the experience from these classes.
In terms of content, I enjoy learning the process behind language because I've never thought about it before, especially in-depth. What I like about the Visual Culture class is that it forces us to think outside of the box. It has helped me channel my creative side. The fact that the class's emphasis is not on grades but on learning is particularly helpful.
There are not many ways in which I think the program could be improved. At first, I didn't like the mandatory blogging but it has helped me to critique my own writing now that I have seen it from others' points of view.

It seems very exciting to me to watch you gain confidence as an editor! What a cool thing to be so adept at!
