Course Evaluation

I enjoyed the class for the most part. The assigments were all different and there was no monotony in the routine. From the annotated bibliography to the soundtrack of my life, I feel like I was allowed to choose what my assignments were on. This was different than most of my other classes, and I really appreciated it. Being able to choose what topics and what format we could use for each assignment was a refreshing break from the rest of my classes.
Ms. Lusk was a very good teacher. She was enthusiastic and laid back, but hounded us to become better writers. All of her comments on my assignments were very helpful, and when I made the revisions she suggested, the work showed. She had us do a variety of things to better ourselves as writers, including uncomfortable topics such as our own obituary. She is also very easy on the eyes.
I never really used the textbook much; maybe only once. I simply looked up how to properly cite sources when doing my annotated bibliography. Since then, I haven't picked up the book, and don't really think it is neccessary for the class.
The lab deffinitely helps with the core English 103 class, although it would be more helpful if the assignments were more similar. I expected to only work on my English papers in lab, and not do more assignments. However, these assignments made me look deeper and come up with more meaningful work for my core English class. In all, I enjoyed my English lab. It was fun, and although we only met for fifty minutes a week, we accomplished a good deal.
