When taking this class, it's essential to realize the impact of the lessons and values taught. The core elements of ERWC are built to help set the foundation for yourself to become a better writer. ERWC with Ms. Atlansky is more than just going over the basic concepts of English because she also teaches you about the life that lies ahead of you This class may be challenging but it is not impossible, it is bearable. Those who complain about this class are the type of people who want to feel comfortable and do the bare minimum. Without the challenge, there is no growth. I assure you that if you get to know Ms. Atlansky and seek for her help, you will grow inevitably! - Punctuality is key. Late homework is rarely given full credit. Know your due dates, test dates, and quiz dates. - Don't try SparkNotes or read off summaries for the books you need to read. They will not help you at all. It may help you in the short run but not in the long run. - Take part in discussions and class participation. - Not that many tests - Material is always posted in Google Classroom! - Don't be intimidated, just communicate!

I am currently a student at UC Berkeley and a former student of Ms. Atlansky's ERWC class. UC Berkeley is one of the most rigorous public universities in the world and I can attest to the fact that the concepts you learn and discover in this class are for your benefit if you make the most of your time. Try your best not to cave in to "senioritis" or you will carry it with you to your pursuit to higher education.
