Course Reflection

Dear future students,

In the beginning of this class it seemed like it was going to be very easy, and Paul was very understanding. The writing assignments weren't hard either, we had more than enough time to complete these assignments. My favorite assignment was probably the Diagnostic essay because we got to write and express ourselves through an experience that we had. The assignment I enjoyed the least was the presentation for our argument essay. We wrote the essay, which was very long, and now we have to do a presentation on it? What if our topic is not something that people could ask questions about? Or what if its an argument and its comes about to be more of an opinion? Will we get points off for not making it an argument in our presentation? Thats the reason why the presentation is my least favorite assignment. As to taking the class... if you like waiting till the last minute to do everything then this is the class for you. 650 points out of your 1000 points are jammed into the last 3 weeks, which to me is ridiculous, and unfair. If Paul knew this would happen maybe he needs to do a little more planning when it comes to his classes. Overall I got through the class, but it wasn't easy at any point during the semester.

Diagnostic revised

After an intensive taxi ride, we thankfully made it back safely to the ship. By the time we made it back to the ship we had already missed dinner, so the only food that was prepared was a buffet on the ships deck, open until twelve o'clock. After dinner we all decided to head back to Senior Frogs because had a time to spear, we didn't leave for the next island until twelve that night. So, while we were there we had a few drinks, danced a little then headed back to the ship because it was close to eleven. Well to our surprise, the whole top of the ship was a huge dance party! On the deck is where everyone was dancing and on the upper level there was a DJ and a dancer. Well, if you didn't know me, I am one to have a good time. So, when I got bored just dancing down on the deck with everyone else, I thought it would be a good idea to run up the upper level to dance with the DJ and the dancer. As I was walking up the stairs, everyone in the crowd started chanting for me! Well, unfortunately when I got up there the DJ sent me back down. I was so disappointed, but to cheer me up the crowd started booing the DJ as I walked my walk of shame back down to the deck. After this incident happened, we all just danced the pleasant and breezy night away on the breath taking enormous ship.
