Assignment 26- Thomas Ueland

I enjoyed English this year, and this is coming from a person who doesn't traditionally like writing essays or analyzing texts. I like the unconventional nature of the class; we didn't just read out of the book and have book assignments like some other English classes did. There was more literary freedom to explore topics than in previous years of English and I think this made it more likable. Also, the flexibility of the schedule helped and I feel like we got things done without an extremely rigorous, repetitive workload. My biggest critique would come in the form of peer grading our essays. While I do believe that they helped, I found it hard to really pinpoint my mistakes in writing with so much feedback at one time, especially when that feedback contradicted itself at times. I would recommend more teacher-graded pieces than peer review essays, but I also understand that grading 100 essays every time around can be mentally taxing.
