WB5

Dear English 110.01 Student,

Get ready to experience a quarter of science fiction and more science fiction. I know it sounds like an awful class topic and it will be awful if you don't give it a chance. Especially when it comes to blogging! I am the last person to ever blog, but this class forces you to. I found out that it is not the end of the world and it is a good way to communicate with your classmates.
While I would much rather be watching ESPN or something, by giving sci-fi a chance, I learned a lot. I got a taste of numerous sci-fi shows and I found out that some shows are pretty good and relate to my life now.
In regards to this class, I recommend that you do not procrastinate! At the beginning of the class, you are required to watch episodes of shows and blog about them. Make sure you pay attention to the episodes because you are responsible to write an 8 page Analytical Research Paper on an episode. Also, do every piece of homework to the fullest because everything builds on each other. If you only give half effort on an assignment, you will eventually have to finish the other half of it. The only difference is you won't get a better grade once you finish it.
When you watch episodes of shows, I would jot down some notes of the episode. I found that to be very helpful for me because when I went back to write my Analytical Paper, I could instantly go to the section of the episode I wanted and get the information I needed.
All in all, this class will be fun as long as you put the work in. If you slack off, I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,
Mack Hoban

  2. Blogging is not as bad as you guys may think. Mack is right, it's a great way to communicate with others and get your ideas out there, especially if you are a quiet person and do not talk much in class or share your ideas.
