Letter 2

Dear Marlen,
         This class has been an experience, I will say that. It was nothing what I expected in the beginning. You have very unique teaching methods, and I can see now why you do the things that you do. I am not a huge fan of the way you grade, but with the bonus and everything else it evenes itself out, so it does work. I think I had more work in this class than all my others combined, and I love you for it now, but hated you for it then. If that makes sence. Looking back, the work was truly a pain in the ass at times, but I have got so much more out of this class, than any other. I thank you for making me a more well-rounded individual.

I now look at almost everything differently. The movies, books, songs, and other types of literature come to me in a different light now. I can see the monomyth in these types of work, and see how everything comes together. I also never knew I would ever write poetry in my life. It’s not good poetry, but it’s still poetry. That was defiantly something new to me, and probably would have never found if it wasnt for you.

If there was anything to change the grading scale would be number one. It works, but missing something because you were out sick, and not being able to make it up kinda sucks. The bonus points are nice though. I think if you were to change the scale you would have to change the bonus points as well. On the other hand not as many people would be pushed to participate in class. After I really think about it I don’t know. I kinda see now why you do it the way you do. I liked everything else though I thought it was a good class.

I wish I could take you for my 202 class, but with your new job, and I got screwed with scheduling again! I can’t take an english next semester. If I don’t see you around, good luck, and I hope your next job works out for you.

Best of Wishes
