Had him for Literary Non-Fiction. The whole point of the class was to write so expect to write a lot. The coursepack is necessary because you'll have to read the short texts to answer his quiz. The homework is to read and write notes about what you read. there are in all 7 short stories and in class, you might have a quiz on it so be sure to always be prepared. After the quiz, there is a lot of explaining and trying to bring out as much as possible key points from the reading because you'll have to write a short essay about that same subject which was due the next class. You only have to write 3/7 essays. every time you'll either be a writer or a listener. The job is to help improve the essay since someone else's opinion/criticism on the work. You'll then pick one of those essays where you'll go in deeper in the subject (so you'll write a 1000 word long essay from the 300 words you already did). Lastly, you then have a presentation and an essay to do as your final, which you pick the subject.

He CANNOT, see you using your phone or he'll take off all your participation points. He makes the class interesting by combining ethical problems that are in today's society. But he still expects you to do proper work
