My view of literature have not changed much as I as an individual don't like to read much, this has nothing to with the way Professor Betty Medina presented the class, is just that I was never raised as a book worm and that is why I personally don't like to read, don't take me wrong I do read, I read about medicine, technology, art, history and music but I'm not the kind of person to sit on a chair and read a book from head to toes in a day or a week I simply find that boring, but of course the professor gave us some interesting stuff to read, I definitely learned about the caste system in India which I had no knowledge of, I learned that there are some terrible problems in Africa with the female circumcision, this class also helped me to think a little more when it comes to writing and analyzing literary works.
Since there was a HUGE problem in this class I would like to present it through this last entry in the blog, the professor was one hell of a professor she was kind and I personally never felt that I was in the presence of a higher authority which I loved about this class and I always feel that in other classes, this was a great experience for me, she was easy going and a great help in everything we as students asked her, but the problem in the class were us, the students as it was a rare occasion when we would do our assigned homework or read the stories which Betty Medina assigned for us, the problem in this class was not the teacher but us, our irresponsibility as students. I know that Professor Betty Medina felt a great frustration because one could notice it, I mean I would have felt it too.
Today was the first day of the last week of class and there were only 5 students present including me, we had to do our oral presentation and nobody showed up. I would like to take the time to say that I'm sorry for that and I speak for myself, this in no way includes the opinion of my other classmates, but I feel that we were super irresponsible towards our English class.
Thanks Professor.

thanks for posting. It is frustrating to take time to prepare and feel students don't care. however, there were a small bunch of students who really made it worth it! just being able to expose you guys to different perspectives on world issues makes it worth while. Being a professor is not easy but being able to give something to think about to students is a great reward, even if some don't really care. thanks for sticking it out!
