Reflection to English 102

Of all the classes I have taken over my academic career, I can say that Professor Brady is one of my favorite teachers. She is kind, caring, will always help a student in need, and will not take any form of excuse. She may be rough, but that roughness is what forces her students to hone their skills, utilizing more of their outside knowledge in order to pass her class. She uses her own analytical mind to get the minds of her students working, the gears turning as she fills our heads with her own thoughts and opinions about stories and poems.
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.
