I think this quarter of English has been long, but I have learned a lot during that time. I think I did well with my materials and participating in the discussions- well, kind of- I would say answers or voice thoughts in my head a lot, I don't voice opinion much in class if I can help it. I took thorough notes during Dr. D's lectures and although when I'm paired with a friend I do more talking than with someone who all I know about them is their name and English block, I get more work done with them because if I ask them a question they get me and know what to say and how I can put it to sound like me, so that's always helpful.
You see, I don't speak up much in class because I don't know, I'm just not comfortable talking and sharing opinions or things that might be mocked/wrong... with people who most of which I don't hang out with at all. I will share answers in my head, I'll think of this explanation and all this stuff but as weird as it sounds sometimes classmates will raise their hands and say almost exactly what I was thinking, no joke, and so I just get to sit there. Im totally fine with that though. If I ever have a question or anything I can turn to my seat partner, hopefully a friend and they can help as I stated previously. Sorry I dont talk too much but I do participate in my own way.
I think I learned a lot in this quarter, from arguments on book opinions to character analysis. I felt like I really learned the stuff with what we did for the most part, except for some of the few times where I felt it went by a little fast. And wordly wise has been sort of a blur to me, but all in all, I have had a good time and learning experience this quarter.
