Thus far in English 215 I have really enjoyed the class. I feel the in class discussions really help everyone understand the reading material better. After reading a section I sometimes feel that I do not grasp what happened, which helps when we go over the material in class. I really like the class readings. I think all the readings are very interesting and make for good discussion. The syllabus is structured well. The amount of work given is just enough for the class. The amount of reading for each class is not to much or to little. My favorite piece of writing so far has been, "Glengarry Glen Ross" by David Mamet. I felt the play was very interesting and enjoyable to read. I feel the blogging section of the class really helps me understand the readings better. I am able to really think about what is happening in the readings and understand the meaning in depth.
YIELD (things we should do more often):
I really don't have much to say in this section. I feel like everything we do is fine. We blog enough for each week, if we did anymore it would probably be a little to much. This at least goes for those that blog two to three times a week. I did enjoy when we got to watch part of the movie to the play. It allowed me to really understand the reading and see what was going on. The elimination of "The Music of Chance" does not upset me that much. I feel I will probably still read it and blog just because I have it. This change does help my work load with all the other work i'm having to do in other classes.
STOP (please no more):
This is another section that I do not have much to write about. I have really enjoyed the class so far. I did however not really enjoy "Lolita". I do not think this means you should get ride of it I just found it to be inappropriate at parts. I know there is more to it than just those parts, but I was not to into the book. I also found "Howl" to be a tough read. I found it hard to understand what was going on and interpret what the reader was saying. Yet again I do not think it should be taken away from the readings. I think many people can get a lot out of both of these.
