Kay’s experience in this class was challenging and different in so many ways. She love it because growing up she always hated english classes and never had good grades in them because, all her past classes did the same thing. What she hated most was the test where you were ask to state your opinion about something and got a bad grade for her opinion. She was taught that the other side is never wrong, they just have a different point of view. Asking her to state her opinion and telling her that her opinion on that topic is wrong is something that make absolutely no sense. She like that this class was about the students growing to love writing and see it in a whole new light. The class makes writing fun honestly it’s some she will do from now on (after she gets better at it). The class discussions and little group talked were the best. It was really great how she felt apart of the class during every lecture. She enjoy the debates, she felt in control of her writing. Over all, this class help her communicate better, with others and most importantly herself. For her this class help her open up more writing, now she keeps a little book that she write down her thought which is a great coping mechanism for stress.
The film, Where to Invade Next, was the best film ever. She didn’t really agree with everything in it but it was a great source of information for her. She loved how the class was so involved in the film, and how they were all able to contribute to a great conversation. She enjoy how professor of this class were a part of the class and not just a professor but like one of the student, and the students all felt like they could get the help they needed from him at anytime. Being in this class made her feel like she was part of a whole new family, she felt safe to voice her opinion and ask question, and she wasn’t force to agree with anyone.
