I have to be honest and say this was not the class of my choice. It is required and I kept postponing it until I had nothing else to take. I have talk to some of my classmates who have taken English 402 before, and all I heard was boring, same old, waste of time.
I came to this class with no expectation, and I am leaving it with great accomplishments. I learned great deal of "tricks" I can use in my future education as well as my career. The greatest tool that I got from this class is writing to the reader. Now I use it at work all the time. Every once in a while I catch myself writing a long story, and then I remember great tips from 402 . Then I start editing, and cutting, and the final product looks exactly what we do in our class. Short and strait to the point.

the group project has been a great experience, and the individual research paper is probably different then any research papers I have written before. I will write it with the readers in mind.
