I decided to take this English class in the summer so as to cut down on my school load for the fall. I really didn't know what I was getting myself in for. In my class there are scientists; computer programmers and philosophers. It certainly wasn't what I expected and to be honest, I felt a little intimidated at the start of this class. This class is unlike my previous English class when I sat aside others like myself: this in the Human Service Field program. Service workers.
My previous teacher so disliked computers, she had us write essays and things seemed so clear cut. There were no questions in my head as to what I had to do, it was spelled out in black and white for us. Unfortunately, for me, my summer teacher is the exact opposite. He has laid out assignments for us that are unlike my previous semester. It has been stressful to me. I never know if what I am doing is what he wants. Another difference is he is a complete computer junky. All items must be online which was a challenge for me as I have not taken computer courses and only know the basics which until recently suited me just fine. I must say, he has taught me things I never knew prior to his class.
As it is, now, I have submitted items I have been unclear of; I've posted them in areas where I can only hope he will find (because I can't) and I'm left wondering what it is that I still have left to complete in order to get my credits for this course.
I suppose I could ask him again, but I'm afraid I'll only walk away more confused.
I can write till the cows come home and all my life I have been an A student in english. In this class, I only hope to pass.
Now, don't get me wrong, I've been taught things I never thought about before, but I'll be glad to hang my hat up after the summer school.
