Review

I think that almost all of the reading in Ball Point was review of stuff that was either covered in the syllabus or in discussions in previous English courses. I thought most of the first chapter was all self-explanatory, and obvious rules for any course. There was one thing that I found interesting in the first chapter, and that was the fact that my professors can keep my graded papers. I never knew that. It makes me curious to know how often professors keep graded papers, if they do, and why would they want to keep my peers, or my own writing?
Chapter two was a little more enlightening and interesting I thought, but was still just about everything that I was taught in English 103 or any other English writing class that I have ever taken. I suppose it was good to be reminded of what is expected of me, but it didn’t seem like it was very necessary for success in this course.
