Back to School

I have yet another week of waiting. My class doesn't start until NEXT Wednesday! Ugh, I'm not the patient type.

I'm excited about taking this course.

A woman I work with attended a class taught by this professor and complained that he's "a wanna-be editor... can't hack it in the real world... not helpful..." and some other such crap. She followed this up with, "I think the highest grade I got from him was a D. You know I'm better than that, you've read what I've written." Um, yep, and it seems to me you received the appropriate grade. This person has written things like, "...skillfully knowledged..." which I'm still trying to figure out what the hell that means.

Anyway, once she told me what a difficult professor this guy was all I could think was "sign me up! I want to take HIS class!" And, I will. I can't wait. Just seven more days.

Composition II: Reasoning and Literary Analysis.

Course description: An advanced composition course that gives students instruction and practice in critical reading, thinking and writing using literature and literary analysis as the subject matter. Students will learn to create effective arguments that demonstrate their ability to reason logically, to recognize the structural, rhetorical, and aesthetic features of both primary and secondary texts, and to engage and converse with a variety of perspectives and approaches from different literary genres and traditions.

Woo hoo! This is going to be fun.
