Good bye ENC1102!

ENC1102 is almost over! This summer has gone by so fast! I have really enjoyed the class and I’m so glad I got switched into it! The things I liked most about the class were, of course, the teacher Mrs. Pilcher, the students I got to know in the class, the assignments we received, and the laid back atmosphere. Mrs. Pilcher is such a wonderful teacher and so great with kids! I met a lot of people in the class that I never would have seen before! And most of them lived in DeGraff too! The power point assignment really made the guys and I get close, now we group message each other on our iPhones all the time. It honestly gets kind of annoying, but they’re pretty cool kids. I loved the assignments we got and how the class was so laid back and relaxed. I can’t even think of anything that I particularly disliked about the class! Maybe I dreaded it because it made me get out of bed, but once I got there I was fine, ha ha! Most of the topics discussed in the class I already had some idea about, but relearning them really helped. I learned some things about MLA specifically that I wasn’t aware of. Going over it in depth really helped a lot, especially with the writing process of our papers.  I liked how we did a game with MLA the topic. It made it a fun topic and it was just what we needed after a long class. I also am more comfortable with writing research papers and reflecting on American pop culture. Since all of our papers focused on culture, it’s now a topic that I understand more. I liked the topics assigned to the class for the written papers we had to complete, because they were our choice, even though they were focused around a central topic. I also really enjoyed writing the blogs! It was a good way to express ourselves in a non-formal way. I personally love blogs and how they are set up. Createing it had to be my favorite part. I love how we were allowed to be creative and do whatever we wanted with the layout of the blog. As for the readings required for class, the discussion about them is what really made them helpful. Our time spent in the class room was well-spent, informative and a lot of fun! I loved how Mrs. Pilcher really took extra time to get to know each of her students and really form a relationship with them. Most teachers, even in small settings such as ours, don’t care to know who their students are. That is what I loved the most about Mrs. Pilcher. She made class a lot of fun and had a great sense of humor that I think the whole class loved! I’m really going to miss her and this class, and I hope my other English classes can be just as good, because now my expectations are very high!
