English 201 Experience

This course has definitely taught me a lot of things about writing that I did not know about. I feel like I progressively got more concrete in my writing abilities. The reading assignments were very fun to read, and the writing assignments were relevant to what was being learned. I thought some things were challenging about the course. Probably the most challenging assignment was the first paper. I wrote about the pharmaceutical Industry, and it was actually difficult to find relevant and scholarly sources pertaining to what I wanted to right about regarding the drug industry. I really enjoyed the discussion boards and participating with my fellow classmates. The responses I did receive challenged me to think in a new way about the topic I was writing about. It also provided a way to humanize the online classroom experience. For me, the discussion boards were a place where i could voice my opinion about a topic, and have classmates further structure the topic at hand. The Feynman reading was stretched out throughout the entire semester, which was awesome. I think if I would have read that entire story in a short amount of time it would have not been as good. I tend to miss things when I read quickly. Overall, this class was fun, challenging, intriguing, and it really made my writing abilities more strong.
