I LOVE my classes! I mean, we haven't done much as we have only met once in each class, but I can tell that this is going to be an awesome semester.
On M/W/F:
-Bio 100: So this is for my general ed requirement (why BYU makes us take three science classes, I don't know) and I am probably looking forward to this one the least. The teacher is really nice though and I think that it will be relatively easy. She understands that this is a gen ed class and most of the students don't know/care about biology.
-Brit Lit History 2: So let's just look at the reading list for a moment. Persuastion, Hard Times, Mrs. Dalloway and selected other readings from our Norton. The class covers Brit lit from 1789-now. The professor is amazing.
-Shakespeare: My professor is exactly what I imagined her to be. She is strict (one of those "most people come out of my class with a C" teachers) but I have a feeling that I am going to come out of that class so well prepared for the world. We are reading Much Ado, Hamlet, Othello, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest. I've read all but the last two, but I don't mind at all doing those first three. Much Ado is my favorite.
T/Th:
-New Testament: I have yet to have a religion class at BYU that didn't blow my mind and this one will be no exception. Just his intro lecture was amazing.
-Writing Literary Criticism: This one is going to be a pain because it is so much writing, but again, I am going to learn so much. The professor came in wearing a bright yellow suit jacket and a sunflower tie. He is hilarious.
-Brit Lit History 1: This one is everything before 1789. Again, awesome professor. He is really into getting the students to go off on self-learning experiences and explore outside the box.
In conclusion, amazing teachers, amazing subjects, amazing semester.

ReplyDeleteMerchant of Venice is good. Maybe you can make it down to Cedar City some weekend to see the play?
ReplyDeleteAnd Tempest is...interesting. But there's a new movie coming out soon (I think it's going to be at Venice FF in the fall) and Helen Mirren plays Prospero (who is a guy in Shakespeare's original version) and it also has Alfred Molina and Jeremy Irons!
Ooh! Just found a site: http://www.collider.com/2010/08/11/the-tempest-movie-poster-helen-mirren-julie-taymor-movie-poster/
Awesome, right?
ohh, that looks awesome!!!! I want to try to make it to CC to see merchant. My teacher said it was amazing (but she also said Macbeth was terrible...)
ReplyDeleteWell... It depends on what you needed from Macbeth, I guess. It was very OVER-acted. Nothing subtle. But I needed that energy that night, and I already loved Kymberly Mellen from Much Ado.
