This is my blog for my writing and rhetoric class with Matt Vetter.
I am a psychology major from Columbus Ohio. I went to Columbus State for freshman and sophomore year. I took freshman writing at Columbus State and it was very beginner writing. It ended up being easier than high school English. It was rewarding to edit and review my classmates work and be able to help them as well as get feed back from others so as to make all of our writing better. The least rewarding part was that the prompts were very simple so I don’t feel that I grew as a writer from taking the class. Because the prompts were so simple I don’t think that the class could have really be made more challenging unless the entire structure and assignments were changed.
I like that this course is technology based. It is going to allow us to learn about a different side of writing as well as how to write better using formats that I am not used to using. This will be totally different than any other writing course that I have ever taken because of all of the technology.
I hope to be able to learn and grow as a writer by using these new formats. I am a little apprehensive because again this is all so new but I plan to work hard to do my best and learn as much as I can.
Hi Colleen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your intro post. I'm happy to say that I can promise more of a challenge than your other English class. The texts in Writing About Writing are complex but very interesting. I think you'll find the writing prompts challenging as well. I like that you feel somewhat positive about the course design and I admire your honesty in letting us know about your apprehension. I'm nervous too. But I think this is going to be a great course as long as we can talk to each other, ask questions, and adopt an open attitude. We're here to be challenged, right? Welcome to the course and good luck!
