Week 15: Review of Reading

I really enjoyed the reading for this class. I particularly love Greek mythology, so that was probably my favorite unit. I will say that I think there is too much homework in this class. I also thought that the estimated time for each assignment was way off because it took me much longer. I also think that there should be less structure in the due dates. Having 1-2 assignments due every day is really difficult for those of us with busy schedules. I also had a really hard time keeping up with assignments because of these due dates, and was told I could “work ahead”, but that doesn’t really help if you are already behind. I think students considering this course should definitely consider the daily time commitment required. I think the balance between reading/writing/commenting is decent. However, I do wish that there were more to do with reading. I would really love if there were some anthology units available. I think this would be really interesting and would enable you to look at a specific type of story. I would be interested in maybe some urban legends, as well. I think those are fun.
