I would like
to start off by saying that, this first semester of taking English 1080 turned
out to be much better than I have thought it would be. Back a few months ago I
was really worried about coming to MUN, mostly because of the fact I had to do English
courses. Throughout high school I felt that I didn’t learn anything and I wasn’t
going to be prepared for English in university. Luckily I end up in a good English
class with a good prof. I feel that I learned more about writing in the pasted
couple months, than I did in high school. Also English was always the subject I
disliked the most in high school but since coming to university, ironically English
is now my favorite course.
To go back
to the beginning of this semester, to me the most interesting material we
covered in the course would have to be the poetry section. I really enjoyed the
spoken word poetry and spatial poems. It was something brand new to me and very
interesting to learn about. The two poems I found the best to read and listen
to was “Swingset” and “The Tyger.” Regarding the essay workshops, I felt they
were a huge advantage of helping me write my essays. The essay workshop really
helped me understand how to make a clear and good thesis statement for my papers.
Also after doing a couple essays I feel that, I finally have a better
understanding of how to write a good essay. Before this course, I had no clue,
our high school teacher never thought us how to do it and would complain when
we didn’t do it right. Also the weekly
blogs we had to do was a good idea and easy marks in my opinion. Most of the
activities we had to do were creative and fun to do. The one I liked the best was
the memes, I really enjoyed making up funny memes, considering I used to do it
all the time. Overall this English 1080 course was a success to me, I feel like
I was worried over nothing. It turned out I could do the English here in
university all because of the great Prof I chosen to take English 1080 with.
