Some things I like... some things I don't like

Writing 39C has been a challenging class for me just because I'm not much of a "writing person." I don't like to write and when assigned to write essays, I dread it. The thing that I like about this class is that it's a hybrid class, which only meets once a week. I like the fact that I could save gas (because I commute), have more hours to work, and be more independent. I also like meeting my peers (especially assigned to group projects) and getting to know them. I don't like reading as well when its assigned for school, because I like to read for fun. However, this book, has been pretty good so far. I also don't like researching for hours, but when going to the drop-in-library session, it really helped to know what other peers used for their essays, and how to research, so you don't have to spend hours and hours trying to find a particular topic when helpful databases are given to you. I also like how the blog posts are a way of writing to my peers and professor, and it's a little personal- I can write about my thoughts and how I feel. I also like the fact that the professor shows particular films or videos related to the particular subject or topic that the professor wants to prove or a way that we can understand and learn.

I agree about the films/videos; I like Colbert and it was cool seeing him interview Pollan (and to actual see Pollan).

Yes I also definitely enjoy all the clips shown in class. It makes it a lot more interesting and helps me understand stuff in a way I never say it in.
