Reflections on the course

There are many things I could say about this course. In the end though, it boils down to the fact I highly enjoyed this course. My abilities to analyze poetry have increased thanks to this course. I felt I was very prepared, thanks to Mrs. DeRose Smith. I had the pleasure of having her for three out of the four years in my high school career. Many of the short stories and plays read in this course I had read before in her classes, and I was able to analyze these pieces at a much deeper level. I would also like to thank Dr. Reed. It was a pleasure having him as a professor. His humor and commentary always kept me interested in what was being discussed. This course assured me that I have gone down the correct path by choosing to minor in creative writing. Though I am a science major and absolutely love science, English is a subject I hold dear to my heart. Taking Intro to English Majors and Minors has been a great experience for me personally and on an educational level. Overall it has been a pleasure, and lastly, as the long winded Polonius says in Shakespeare's Hamlet, "this above all, to thine own self be true" (I.3 line 78).
