My expectations to Rhetoric and Style before I began the course was that I thought I would have to inscribe a large amount of information and ideas towards certain topics. I was expecting for the English course to be difficult from what I have to write about, because I’m not good at writing unless the topic interest me or I know enough information. I also hope to learn how to do certain things I already know just in better way. I was expecting having to submit essays with the minimum of three pages or so. Also expected good amount of students in the course than other courses I’ve attended to. I was concern if i wouldn’t like the class as much, because i can’t stand or focus some courses if the instructors aren’t active enough into the point where I get too tired in class which I don’t like. The other thing that concerned me is that I hope I will have an idea what to say and inscribe about in my assignments so I won’t struggle on what to say.
After the first day, I like how I acquire a knowledge of what the instructor stated about the school system and how we still learning things we should have been knowing and taught. I felt simpleminded after the first day of the class. Everybody looked smarter and more active than me and I felt I was going to learn something new by the form the instructor was speaking to us. Mr. Murray was pretty active, loud and clear which Ive never seen a teacher like him before in this school or any other school. I felt more concern when the instructor did mention we would have to write a lot but I wasn’t positive and convinced about what. I felt a little hopeful after the class, because just the little things we were taught weren’t actually real and were stated falsely. Like the example of the sun rise, but the sun never moves. Students were actually responding with cardinal directions were the sun rises. After I got home, I told my family. We all felt like we got played and unintelligent.
Most of my expectations were met like on how I would have to write a large amount but it didn’t come into the point where all assignments were due with a certain of pages. It surprised me the assignment requirements were word number and not pages which I can deal with better. At most parts, I knew what to say for my assignments since we could of chose what we want to write about with the list of topics which I loved, because most teachers make you talk about one certain thing and some people already know a lot about it but some don’t and struggle with it. Now that was a surprise, because I could of chosen a topic I know a lot about.
