Should I Or Should I Not?

Prospective English 1101-24 students, listen up! You’re most likely wondering about this course and how it might be.  You want to know if it’s hard, easy, stressful, and enjoyable. Let me tell you some useful information that will help you in your decision making process. Take the class!  You should take this class because the instructor is great, the material is challenging, and you will gain a new understanding of yourself and the world around you.

A huge influence on students taking a course is the professor’s reviews. Let me tell you that professor Arrington is a great instructor. She is always energetic, funny, and full of surprises. She makes the learning environment a fun place to be. I enjoy going to class every morning, yes morning. I wake up every day at 6:30 just to get ready for her class. I don’t have that regretful feeling about the class like I have for others. She makes it one of her duties to make the classroom a comfortable place to be. I enjoy the fact that she tries to connect with her students instead of looking at us as investments. She really cares about her students, and she will care about you.

Another factor in class choosing is the work material and if it is challenging or not. Well students, its college. The work in college is meant to be hard, so get over that burden. The good thing about Professor Arrington’s class is the fact that you want to challenge yourself. The work is just a tool used to better ourselves, and it’s used in that manner. Some teachers assign work that is only meant to be challenging because its college work, but this isn’t the case in this class. The work is challenging in a sense that makes you want to do better because you want Professor Arrington to be proud of you.

Now I’m not kidding when I say you will gain a new understanding from this class. This class isn’t a class that you will complete and feel that it was unnecessary. I was forced to look at different situations in my life and the world in a different way. I had to face different perceptions in my life that I had, and I had to question them. Not only did I question them, I had to confront them and test them. After doing so I understood the true meaning of my perceptions, and I had to let them go. I had to choose to change a part of myself because it was wrong. I wouldn’t have learned these things about myself if I didn’t take this class.

This course is a course that challenges you mentally and physically. You will need to stay focused, be attentive, and be open minded and accepting to change. This isn’t a course for the light minded. You will learn a lot about English, and you will learn a lot about yourself. So “when” you choose to take this course, be ready for an adventure, because you will go on one- it just depends on how you see the word “adventure” and what an adventure is to you, good luck.
