Response On The Class

Before entering English 102 I honestly didn't no what to expect. Like many others English 101 didn't really steer me in the direction that caught my interest. Entering Farmingdale as a freshman and having previous success in English classes in the past I believed it wasn't going to be as hard as I thought. Although having success in English, it never really stuck with me due to my lack of wanting to read. I never liked reading as a child and even after taking this class I still don't find reading as a hobby of mine. I have picked up a lot from this English 102 class though by finding out how to identify different types of elements in stories and also go a step further into writers work to truly understand their message being put across. One thing I would change in this class would be to not have it as much as a lecture class, but more as a class to interact and find my other classmates opinions as well as expressing my own. I feel as though lectures on different types of writers and stories throw students off from the real meaning of what the professors are trying to teach their students. Overall, I did enjoy taking English 102 and it was an experience that really helped me become more educated.
