Looking At Both Sides

Although it is just a class, ENC1102 had its pros and cons. There were things that made it better than any class that I ever had, and others that totally bummed me out sometimes.

Pros

-We could choose a topic of our interest when it came to the big projects.

-I can feel comfortable asking questions or expressing how I feel.

-Group work is really effective because everyone is able to give their ideas and perspectives.

-There isn't any exams or few to no quizzes.

-There is small amount of lectures, more on hands activities.

Cons

-Assignments are due every other day (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays)

-Discussion feedback are sometimes unhelpful. People just write anything so they could get the grade, without helping the other person for real.

-Many times in discussions, some people don't get any feedback, while others get a lot. This is because people just choose the person who is on top and the person who is slightly at the bottom, doesn't get any feedback on their work.

Even though, this class has some cons, the pros definitely outweigh them. This is not only a class that might be a requirement for your major or career interest, but it is something that you should take. It would make you look at writing and yourself in a different way. You will grow in many ways, as a student, as a writer and especially as a collaborator. Don't look at this class as another English class, full of essays and papers. Look at it as another opportunity to change, experience, and grow. Like that, you will one day be able to teach others, what writing looks through your eyes.
