Argument Essay - The Last of ENC 1101

Well, I'm finally done with ENC 1101 and I must say that I am thrilled. The class sucked because it entailed a million writing assignments--Gordon Rule classes are supposed to be like 6000 word classes but this one felt like 10000. The professor was cool but she overworked us to the point that I never wanted to write again, which is a pretty bad thing considering I'm pretty good at writing!

I didn't really like the topic that I chose for my argument essay but the only reason that I did it was because I think I'm the only one that chose that topic. When I was finally done with it I was quite pleased with the end product and I think it's one of the better papers that I've turned in. I acknowledged opposing views, I gave my reasons, backed all of my reasons with evidence, and overall did one hell of a job. Score one for me!

I'm going to miss the good times that I had in class because the people that I had in this class were awesome. I don't really remember learning anything new in this class except I did experiment with the delayed-thesis method so I guess that's something that I can carry over with the rest of my undergraduate studies?

All-in-all, the class would have been amazing had I not had to write so much, but it's all over now, so that makes me one happy camper. To everyone that hasn't taken the class: great professor, great in-class environment, too many assignments. I feel like schools discourage people from pursuing writing as a career rather than encouraging them because of the amount of work that you're forced to do if you wish to pass the class. You're almost guaranteed to lose all drive to write when you're done with the class because any bit of you that wanted to write would have been drained. I'm a great writer but I hate writing essays--what a paradox!

So yeah, I'm done rambling; thanks for the good times that we shared and thanks for making me love and hate the class at the same time...:)
