Conclusions RMST 202

Well here it is, the final blog post of this class. Before I start, I want to say thank you to the professor and to both the Tas of this class and also to all the people who took this class alongside me. My first blog of this class talked about how I am not much of a reader and how I decided to take this class as a challenge to myself by pushing me into reading much more than what I was used to, as getting more into reading was one of the things that I wanted to do more. After 11 novels I can definitely say that this goal was definitely accomplished. 

I wanted to mention a few things that I liked about this class, with the first one being the format of it. I like the idea of having a contract which you have to fulfill as this makes the entire thing easier to manage as from day one you know what you are going to have to do for each week of the course. Another thing that I liked is the novel selection. There were some books that I struggled with and some books that I did not understand fully yet it was nice to have this mix of linear timeline stories with novels which did not have a story at all. It made the class much more interesting as you did not know what you were going to read each week as all of them were different. Last thing that I liked a lot was the fredm you had. You knew that you had to create a blog post, but there was no specific way on how to do it ro what to talk about in the blog post which I think is a great thing as you get people that write blog posts with completely different ideas than yours even though you read the same book. 

I decided to take this class as a literature requirement and did not have much expectations from it, but I can say that I enjoyed it and I am very glad that I chose this class as my literature requirement as it brought much more to me than I expected. 

As a question from my last blog, I would like to know what was the thing that you enjoyed the most from this class?

 

Thank you all.

    Hi Daniel, I liked the novel selection from this course too! I don’t think there will ever be anything else that comes close to the quality reading that we get from this course in terms of content and deep perspectives. I find the freedom with our blogposts as an opportunity for many to show the different directions and trajectories of thought that go into reading the same book. Each blogpost was like a different treasure map of the same place.

    Great post! I entered the class with a similar mentality of not being much of a reader and doubting I would enjoy this course. I was proven wrong, it was nice to have freedom but structure and guide ourselves while exploring a bunch of literature we probably have never heard of. I’d say I enjoyed the in-person discussions the most throughout the semester, it was nice to have an open dialogue as opposed to a professor just talk at us.
