This semester I feel my writing has truly improved. When I first started writing essays, they were very choppy and had poor structure. One of the big problems I had was breaking up my sentences so that my writing sounded my fluid. At first, with my beginning essays not much changed, but after my first major essay I think I adapted to my professor’s remarks.

Sometimes I have trouble going into detail and supporting my bold statements and throughout the course I learned to add more detail. The majority of the problem is I assume the reader already knows what I’m talking about, so I don’t discuss my topic into full detail, but I realized no matter what I must always fully extend my ideas to whomever is reading my essay.

Overall I feel the class has been very influential towards my writing. Obviously I’m not the best writer, but I feel I have learned ways to fully extend my ideas onto paper, whereas before, my writing was very scattered. My last essay was probably my best work, but it was my best not just because it was the accumulation of all my writing experience, but that it had a great interest in the topic. It is so much easier and appealing when I am writing about something that interests me. For some of the essays in expository writing I could care less about the subject matter, so it was

Difficult to be fully motivated to write about the subject. Maybe for future classes there should be more essays directed to issues within society and the media. In general I am quite pleased with the class. Despite waking up at seven-thirty for class, I really enjoyed my professor’s sense of humor and style of teaching. The class was boring at times (but most classes are), but I feel in the long run I learned a lot of important ways of improving my writing, and that was the intention of the class; so it worked right?

• 19th Century Performance Conditions 1800-1900

Middle class support for the theatre diminished between 1820 and 1850. Actors were ‘rogues and scurvy vagabonds’ and audiences were often rowdy during the performance.
