Writing 39C is a unique class in that we will only meet ten times this entire quarter. There are both pros and cons to this hybrid writing class. I like the fact that the class meets once a week, and then works independently for the remainder of the week. With work three or four times a week and three other classes, it is nice to get class work done at my apartment. I also like that even though we only meet once a week, it is easy to ask questions and get clarification via email and EEE. I think that communication outside of class is important.
A con that I have found in this class was the focus and start of the in-class essay prompt. Once it was explained a couple times, I caught on and it became clearer. Although it is interesting to learn more and more things about my plant, I wish we could write about other subjects. I believe writing and researching on other subjects would help expand my writing skills. Also, it is sometimes confusing as to when the assignments are due, whether in or outside of class. Lastly, I do not think it is necessary to have Blogger as well as Writing Studio. I find Writing Studio confusing and hard to navigate. However, Blogger has become easier to handle and the format is straight forward.
As the weeks have passed by, I have become more immune to the schedule and routine of the class. I enjoy that the class has a small number; it makes learning more personal.

I also like blogger more than writing studio, it is pretty straightforward.
Haha, i definitely had trouble understanding the focus of the essay prompt, it took me a while to finally get what it was about.
I completely agree about being confused when certain assignments are due, especially writing studio assignments. I too, end up confused a lot of times.
