I. Write a narrative about your experience in this class, reflecting on your growth as a writer and/or as a class member, the whole class's progress, the evolution of class relationships (to writing and to each other), or any combination thereof. While humor and sarcasm are welcome stylistic techniques, merciless bashing of self or others will not be tolerated. Use your judgment when deciding whether to 'name names.'

I transfered to IUS at the beginning of this semester, and thought my English career was already over. I previously went to Ball State and took two English classes there, though somehow one of them did not transfer. I was ultimately bummed out that I would have to take another. I tried to stay positive though and figure that this will be an easy way to keep up my grade, improve my writing and maybe even learn something or meet new people.
I hope that I have shown improvement in my writing, though I don't seem to see much. I always have problems writing papers, especially with knowing how to begin and end a paper. Now having three different English classes, they tell you different things and it is hard to keep that all straight. I hope that in this class I have maintained a decent grade, It was hard for me to stay motivated on my work, knowing that I had done the work already. At least in my perspective.
I feel like the class was a very welcoming and open community. Everybody got along well and was able to voice their opinion's without much hesitation. Many times the class got too vocal and would stray away from the topic at hand. It was hard for me to focus that way and I would often not enjoy the little segways into other topics. I found that it was just wasting time and not giving much respect to the teacher often by interrupting her and not allowing her to continue with what she was saying. By the end of this class though, i have met people that I enjoy talking too and working with. I hope that I see some of them next semester and say hi and see how they are doing.
