Dear English 110 Students,
I just thought I would give you a few pointers to succeeding in this first year writing course. First off you need to come into the class with an open mind. When I first heard what our subject was, (Televised SciFi: A Modern Mythology) I thought it was going to be the longest quarter of my life. I honestly had zero interest in SciFi and thought that it was a bunch of BS. I am really interested in sporting articles and anything that has to do with sports. As the class went along, however, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Granted I still am not a very big fan of SciFi, but I did learn a lot about it.
Another thing that I would suggest is to not procrastinate. When we had to write a blog about an episode, I found it much easier to either write it as I watched the show or to write it immediately after class. They weren’t not only the easiest to write, but also the best blogs that I had. If I chose to wait until 11:30 to start writing them, I found myself forgetting what the episode was about.
Overall, I thought that this class was a lot of work but really easy. If you keep up with all of your assignments and don’t fall behind, you will be perfectly fine. I wish you good luck and hope you enjoy the class.
Sincerely,
English 110 AU 09 Student

I completely agree. I didn't think that Science Fiction would be interesting. But I also didn't realize that my love of Star Wars really was a love for science fiction. And that so many themes in the shows are so relatable to real life.
ReplyDeleteI absol. agree! When you say come to class with an open mind, because when we first started out I was a complete reck! Just the thought of scifi made me nervous because I didnt like it at all... but the more shows we watched the more interested I became. And now I catch myself giving every scifi show on tv a chance :0) Funny how things change, huh!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that you should enter the course with an open mind!
