Course Overview:
I would recommend this course because it taught me a lot. Mr. Lenhart was a great teacher and he didn't take any lip from any of the students. I liked how he taught the class. The tests were simple and to the point. Which I liked.
Course highlights:
I learned how analyze something and write a better analysis of something. I learned to research something and was able to cite my sources correctly.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
I needed to do read. Because we read books and if you didn't read then you did poorly on the tests and quizzes. So my advice would be to pay attention and read.
This class was tough.
Course Overview:
It effectively prepared me for college courses and how much work it would be, but also taught me how to best learn from this style of teaching. It opened my eyes to how much writing can really help me express myself and how much I truly love it.
Course highlights:
I think the main highlight for me was getting to peer review my personal essays with both my peers and my teacher. These reviews helped me develop my writing style by adding new techniques and skills. It also taught me a great deal about how to be an inspired writer and to write in a way that conveys my every emotion about my argument to the reader. It was times like these that opened up my eyes to the fact that writing was not only a skill of mine, but a way for me to express myself and my opinions. That said, I am now authoring a book for myself that I hope to publish one day and I credit that effort fully to this class. I never would've thought to do anything like that before ENGLISH 101 and 102.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
You have to be ready for a lot of work and assignments. Make sure you always stay on top of your work in this class! Beyond that, don't just blow off the assignments as a grade, but think of them as more than that. Think of these writing assignments as a creation and as a canvas to paint your argument in the precise color and image that you desire it to be. Allow every assignment to stretch you and grow you not only as a writer and a reader, but as a thinker and a believer. You get as much out of this class as you put into it!
