writing class

Taking this class has been pretty good for me so far. I wanted to take it because I wanted to be able to fit in 20 units this quarter and that can be hard to do when you're trying to find a time for specific classes to fit in somewhere. So for me, the idea of a hybrid was perfect. I really like the fact that the one time a week we do meet I haven't felt like any of the time was wasted doing what I would consider "busy work" or activities that don't really help improve my writing skills. I really like the fact that we have so much time to do things on our own independent schedules, which of course is incredibly convenient. The only downside for me in taking a once a week hybrid class has been feeling like I sometimes am unsure of what's due or where I should be at in my research, things like that, because in a regular 3 times a week, or even 2 times a week class you get constant reminding of when papers are due, etc. Sometimes if there isn't a paper due or if I've already finished the work for that week I almost forget that I will have class on Tuesday, because it's not a regular thing like all of my other classes. Overall, though, the pros of this class definately outweigh the cons and I think that having a class like this is a really good idea - I think that it sort of forces you to be more independent and be responsible for yourself.
