Assessment

I have never really enjoyed any of my writing or reading classes in all my years of schooling. I only have fun writing if I am writing creative stories or things about myself. I had a really good time writing the personal narrative. I found the tools of rhetoric rather interesting, but I am not sure if I fully understand them. I had absolutely zero fun writing the research paper, but that is life I guess. I did not feel that the blogging was necessary or a good learning tool, however, if it is the reason we did not have to write a multi modal argument then I am okay with it and think it is a good idea. Anyways, enough with the negative, I believe that I have truly become a better writer from this Writing 150 course, and from you as a teacher. You make learning fun, and get more personal with the students, and I like that about you. You make class a place for learning and not a prison. I did not do all the readings for this class, but I found the readings that I did do unnecessary, so maybe that could have some changes. I just do not feel that all the material we read in our books was applied in class or in our assignments. I did think the blogs were a good way for the students in the class to get to know each other, and it was a good way of communication. All in all great job teaching, and great Party In the USA!

Favorite Movie

My favorite movie of all time is a movie that came out quite recently. Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carrel and Ryan Gosling is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, but it also has a good message and story. It is funny because of all the twists and funny situations in the movie. There are a lot of awkward situations that are hilarious. I also really liked it since I think Steve is one of the funniest actors ever and I think Ryan Gosling is the biggest hustler of all time  haha well anyways. Good movie go and see it
