The most useful thing that I have gotten out of Professor Leake’s writing class is my newly found hobby of reading the news. Before this course, I would have never spent any time reading the news or searching for current events. Now, that our class is based on the news, I have been following the news every day. This course has changed my regular day schedule to incorporate some time for me to catch up on some news. In doing this, I feel more connected with the world and its’ problems as well as more “in the loop.”
I also found our crazy off topic discussions very interested. It kept me from dozing off and also made the class enjoyable. What other class would talk about a controversy with a presidential candidate’s name?? Or even deathspace.com? This writing class is definitely a unique one and a class to remember.
I'm glad you got in the hobby of reading the news. I enjoyed those unexpected class conversations, too.
