While I am more a fan of science fiction, fantasy, and otherwise out-of-this-world literature, I came to love the genres of books we spoke about. Unlike in my own previous years of education, which had us read a work of literature and summarize it, Brady had us use outside sources, viewing the world in different perspectives than when we began the class. I came to like the stories we read, such as “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “The Birthmark.”
In general, while I cannot speak for the majority of the class, I believe a full class year of Professor Brady’s eccentric personality and hands-on approach to educating her students benefited me in more than just an academic standpoint. It gave me goals to set; a goal to perfect my writing, and a goal to become teacher just like her.
