Assignment #26: Liz Graves

Mr. Logsdon, I know you don't want this post to be all rainbows and unicorns, so I will try to be as honest as possible. Before I try and tell you how to teach, though, I want to thank you for all the help you've given me this year. I genuinely think I have become a better writer under your tutelage. At the very least, I know what I'm doing wrong. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much for all you do!

I do have a couple suggestions:
I wasn't a big fan of the book we read at the beginning of the year. I thought we spent too much time on it. It was definitely helpful, but it got a little boring after a while. I think if your future students read the book in smaller doses it will be just as effective. 

I thought the editing that we did in small groups was more effective. I got more detailed feedback on my essay. Maybe you could split the class in two or three groups so the groups are smaller, so the feedback is more specific. Also, it would make the number of essays to grade less daunting.

It would have also been helpful if you had spent a little more time going over how to use certain editing software. I am horrible at video editing, and stressed that I am going to have the worst quality PSA ever. I appreciated some of the editing that you showed us in class, but maybe some hands on practice would have also been helpful.

Again, thank you so much Mr. Logsdon, for being an incredible teacher. I had a hard time thinking of any suggestions at all. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck next year!
