Thoughts and Writing is an English class taught at Western Michigan University- usually a Freshmen class. Upon signing up for the class, I was anything but excited. After A.P. english i have grown to hate, reading, writing, literature, grammar and the like. The worst thing in my opinion is writing a paper. However, my professor changed my mind just after my first class. First of all, there are no tests. Any college student would jump at an opportunity to have no midterms or finals, especially while taking 15 credits their first semester. Secondly, there is not much writing. A few blogs here and there, but there are really only about six projects and the beauty of it is that they aren't all essays, actually they are encouraged and sometimes even forced to be different genres of writing which does make me excited to write again and even read. I was given a little over a month to read the hunger games. After less than a week, I am about 4/5 done with the book. This class has showed me a whole new side to writing and the small class size and easy going professor are only bonuses to this first-year-college writing class. Maybe all courses of Thoughts and Writing are not like this, but with Joe Sanders you will be pleased.
