New English110 class,
Do not be discouraged when you learn that this class is about science fiction! That is if you are as shocked as I was when I started this class, I hated scifi. It is actually not as bad as you would imagine! The best advice I can give you would be, to read, read and read some more, and when you feel like you have read enough- you probably still have a few pages left to read.- LOL I know at the beginning I thought I would just skim through all the common place university chapters and get the gist of it, rather than reading through everything. Bad idea!!! I ended up going back and reading everything anyways because I was so lost when the class was talking about the different steps common place asks you to take. I guess Leslie didn't give us homework just because she thought we needed something to do once we got home, no.... we really did need to know it all. I thought this class was going to be a breeze! But, it really was academically challenging, and not to the point where I was exhausted, but definitely a good challenge.
So I if you only remember one thing from this post, then you probably didnt read the whole thing, so go back and read it all- remember I said to read, read and read some more...... Thats english 110, good luck!

I agree that reading the commonplace chapters really helped when we were discussing them in class.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of the class there were a lot of chapters and papers to read but, it eventually died down and watch episodes pick up. A good trade off in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI like Commonplace too. It seemed like it was written for kids our age
