Assignment 26- Brianna Scott

To be honest, I've struggled to enjoy this class. I know that isn't what it's about though. I've struggled to understand some of the things we do in class or why we do them, but I still end up understanding the concept or skill I am supposed to somehow. I feel like there were a lot of unnecessary things that we did this year, but I think that's your style of teaching and I respect you for that. You like to share the things that you enjoy with your students. The blogs seemed a little pointless. The essay grading gets boring quickly, and I would love to get tips on how to make my writing better but I feel like every time we graded one of my essays in class it would get ripped to shreds by two or three people, and that didn't help me at all. I wish there was a way to control that aspect. Not to necessarily force people to be kind, but they shouldn't be allowed to be rude. I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but I do feel like the Socratic Seminars helped me, even though they were a lot of work and I was scared that I wasn't getting my points sometimes. When I think about it, I left this class feeling extremely frustrated some days, but other days I would be cracking up with my friends. I'm not really sure what tipped me off either way, but I really wish I wouldn't have gotten so frustrated with the unnecessary things.
