I have learned so much in this class; it is hard to determine where to begin. First, and foremost, I learned to think about my reader in everything I write. This is so far from anything I've ever been taught. Typically, instructors want you to write to prove you learned something, and the content is virtually useless long-term. In English 402, not only were we encouraged to research something of true interest, but also we were instructed to write it in a way someone might actually use it. I have started a file of what I wrote in this class, and I am confident I will refer to it again either for content or structure.

I have also learned to love (sort of :) ) writing for this blog. This was a brand new experience, but I like how you can at any moment share your thoughts and read about what other people are thinking. I hope to continue this practice.

In all, I enjoyed this class very much. I think we had great discussions. Thank you, everyone for making it fun. Thank you, Kat for facilitating the experience.
