Final Reflection Questions and Answers

1. From the beginning, what made our course different than any other course you have ever taken?

I think what made this course different was that we were kind of grading ourselves and it was up to us to do the work and check the blog and We had one of the most supportive teachers and very helpful ,I learned a lot this year from this class and being independent and responsible .

2. As you look back on our experience together, what did you find most meaningful?

How Dr. Preston showed that he really cared and trusted us as students that we were going to do the work and read Les Miserable  , Les Miserable is one of those books you would never see me reading and mostly because I don't read but also because i don't find it interesting if it wasn't for this class I wouldn't  have stumbled over this way ahead of its time book which is really interesting .

3. As you consider the work you've done, what are you most proud of?

I think I have gotten better at my writing and I sometimes stopped procrastinating for some of the assignment because I was really excited to start them and some I did not feel the best about so i may have procrastinated.  

4. Is there anything you wish you would have done differently, or better?

Yes I wish I would have wrote better essays and sometimes journal topics I also think that I should not have procrastinated  so much .

5. As you look forward, what did you learn in this course that will help you for the future?

I learned to read out of your comfort zone books because you never know what you might stumble across and end up liking 

6. There is one English-y requirement. In your essay, please mention three texts that you've read this semester AND three literary techniques that made those texts effective - if you need some suggestions, consult the list of what we've covered on our Terms page).

I really liked the essay techniques and the one were you can take a picture of your written essay i also liked the journal topics Dr. Preston chose for us because some of them were really questions you had to think about thoroughly and those three were"Many people look at life and see a need for change. What if we could change in ways that made it easier to accept and navigate life the way it is? What can you change about yourself that would make you more effective at living your best life?"

"Why is love such an important theme in music, poetry, short stories, novels, and movies?  There are so many works of art dedicated to the topic, and yet, in real life there are so many bad breakup and divorce stories.  Why are people so interested in love -- and so often, so bad at loving?"

"Dr. Seuss once wrote, "How did it get so late so soon?  December is here before it's June.  My goodness how the time has flewn. [sic]  How did it get so late so soon?"
