Over all I really like this class. It offers me a change in my usual academic regiment. I don't have to memorize chemical equations or decipher Spanish literature. Instead I get to simply enjoy English poetry, literature, and drama. So far I have liked most all of the works we have discussed/read. My favorites are "The Lady of Shalott," "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and "The Lottery." One thing I think we could have done with out was "Kubla Khan." I felt like we spent almost no time deciphering that poem and it's better left out of the curriculum, or if it's necessary, then we should spend more time reviewing it.

I also really like the English blogs. I feel that by answering the blog questions I get a better grasp of the works we are studying. I like reading about what other people think about the works too, because it often shows me a completely different opinion of the work. I think the blogs should definitely be incorporated into future syllabi.

I have no real complaints; I don't even mind the grading being slow. It must take an awfully long time to go through all of our papers. One thing that I wish for in the future, however, is a little bit more leniency when grading papers. Sometimes I feel like the grades I receive on some of my past papers do not reflect how much work and effort I put into them.
