Feedback is a necessary part of any writing and rhetoric course, both for the students
and the instructor. Therefore, I'd like to hear your concerns and comments. For those of you who have taken previous writing courses at FIU, I'd like to see your perspective. How have the ENC courses met your expectations or fueled your progress as a writer? Or, conversely, how have the ENC courses
not met your expectations? Perhaps any negative feeling you may have is more a teacher-related issue than course-related issue. If so, please give me some feedback: how have your previous teachers hurt (or helped) you?
An ancient proverb reads, "A flattering mouth worketh ruin." I'm not looking for flattery certainly. To be sure, I'm looking to see or hear what everyone has to say about her/his writing experience at FIU.
If ENC 1102 is your first writing and rhetoric course, then I'd like to hear what has helped or hurt your development as a college-level writer. How has reading literature played a part? How has your high school teacher played a part (or not played a part)? Do you think that you were previously a blank canvas, so to speak, or did you come into ENC 1102 with a set of skills that needed to be honed or improved upon?
Has ENC 1102 or 1101 surprised you in any way? Bored you to tears? Angered you?
Please write freely. No one is being judged certainly. I'm hoping to learn from these responses.
