My other class during the summer was English 99. Because of my issues taking tests on the computers I did shitty on the Accuplacer test and was placed in low (non running start classes).
On latter reflection I am pleased with the ending results of that class. I learned a lot. a lot more then the run-on (which I found out I did ALOT of) comma splices, and other grammatical errors.
Mrs. Richardson was in her mid fifties and full of stories. I can honestly say she is the best teacher I have ever had. the class wasn't about the busy work; overall it was a lesson on life. We defiantly went through the motions of a normal college level English class- read the stories, answer the comprehension questions and what I dreaded the most was Reading Plus.
Richardson had plenty of stories with moral and lessons she had learned at the end. hearing a story of someone's life; their struggles; their drive- really inspires me. She is a roll model to me.
Her t6eaching style was interactive and encouraged her students to break away from the normality everyone lives in and truly be your own person. one of my favorite things she ever said was "pick a side on a topic and believe strongly. even if you change your mind the next day- then strongly believe that" her example was her view on abortion and how they've changed. This inspired me to believe strongly in everything.
