Sean is an easy person to work
with, he makes arguably the most boring subject for me easygoing and great for
you to thrive in. Other writing teachers may have given you boring constraints
that really limit your creativity or your own style of writing. However, Sean will
allow you to work your style into the prompt and let you choose your own topic
within the prompts limits. I am not going to lie the first few prompts seemed
like a nightmare waiting to happen, because it was something I have not done
before, but it works out really well in the end. You will find new things to
add to your writing, while also cutting some bad habits.
Honestly
the only gripe I could have in his class was the dreaded blog posts I am sure
most of you will know before the first day of class. I am not going to
sugarcoat it, it kind of sucks and will not really get better throughout the
year. Though one good thing to gain from the blogs is that it will help you
retain the information throughout the year. For example, if you want to pull a
writing style from a article you had to analyze, you have a fast summary to
fill you in on what you need. The writing 300 words minimum is the probably the
hardest challenge you need to overcome, because as Sean says it, “it will allow
you to push out of your comfort zone and challenge you”. It most definitely does,
and you will feel it throughout the year.
Overall
Sean was the most “human” professor I had, he was the most understanding, the
best at helping me with problems I had in papers, and was just a very chill
professor. The classroom was relaxing, and did not feel like a place to dread
or get stressed about. He helps you pace your papers throughout the year by
requiring group edits, and you can email him for more advice. You guys won’t
regret choosing Sean as your writing professor and good luck!
