Class Review

Review of Senior Composition



It is very difficult for me to write this essay, for I was only in my Senior Composition class about two out of five days per week. Most of my class time was spent in the Maine East computer lab (I never went to the classroom because I would just fall asleep anyway). I also learned quite a few things from our teacher Mr. Hessert. He is a very wise and intelligent man. I also believe that the way he ran and organized the class was very effective.
I learned many things in this class. One thing that I was never familiar with was blogging. I had no idea there was a world just for people to go online and express their feelings or stories. After about a month into class I was introduced to various blogs and how to start my own. I stumbled along the way but Mr. Hessert was there to help me. He helped me put up hyperlinks in my blogs, put up pictures, and even come up with good blog ideas to write about.
After doing these blogs I became very good at thinking of topics to write about. I learned that choosing topics on what you like makes writing more fun and interesting at the same time.
Eighth period Senior Composition with Mr. Hessert was, honestly, one of my favorite classes ever. Not that I was taking advantage of the class rules but Mr. Hessert was very lenient with all of his students. For example, if for one day I did not come to class I would not be written up as truant the next day. I believe this is very effective because forcing a student to come to class does not give them a better chance of passing the class or learning more than if they weren’t in class.
Mr. Hessert is a very good teacher. He has been there for every student when they needed help. No matter how late I was turning in a paper or blog, he would proof read it and tell me how he thought about it.
If there was anything that could have been different about the class it should be to not use the Evergreen books. I believe they were a waste of time and money (but who knows since I never turned one assignment in).
As you can tell I really enjoyed Senior Composition with Mr. Hessert. I encourage anyone who is thinking about taking this class with him to enroll now.
