I think by now I have become much more informed and prepared to write memos on the fly. For the past few months, I've been doing it on a weekly basis not only on the progress reports but also my project itself. My individual research project is about the studies of memos and if there are any particularly effective format over another. This class has been as much hands-on as it has been with lectures. The combination of the two allows me to not only learn the material but remember what it is and finally apply it whether for school or work. As mentioned in an earlier blog post, I find this class to be extremely practical. I didn't think I would learn so much from an English class especially since I'm not even an English major and that it was a university prerequisite. I'm contemplating whether to take additional similar English classes as electives if they would offer the same value information as this class. A lot of credit has to be given to you, Kat and your simple yet meaningful teaching style. Thank you for making this class a pleasantly enjoyable experience.

In Response to Aaron Beal's Post

I thought that Ms. Lehman's response to our critique was informational and positive. But I completely agree with you that very few changes, if any might be made despite our efforts. The webmaster acknowledged that most of our criticism were cosmetic-related. Our eye won't loses attention if what we see is not aesthetically pleasing. From a student's point of view, I believe this should be enough motivation for changes since the target audience is essentially us. If I remember right, the class unanimously decided that the picture definitely needed a makeover. While I can see them trying to stay away from the stereotypical Shakespearean and books images, I think a little creativity wouldn't hurt. For example, the library have photos of students posing with a big poster with word "Ask" written on it. This is original and ingenious in my opinion, it doesn't directly state the library but you clearly get the message they're trying to send.
