For my first semester at Georgia Gwinnett College I had the awesome experience of having Professor Arrington for English 101. As a lover of all things to do with English, this class helped me a great deal home my skills in scholarly writing. The class mainly focused on essay writing with special attention paid to developing logical explanations for claims.
I would love to recommend Professor Arrington’s course to every college freshman under the sun, but I can think of many people who definitely SHOULDN’T take her class. These people fall under labels such as lazy, stupid, idle, pathetic, and sloth-like.
But in all seriousness, passing Professor Arrington’s class isn’t that hard. Assuming you pay attention, take good notes (she practically tells you what to write down) and make some attempt to participate in the in-class discussions, Professor Arrington will help you out. Not only is she super laid-back, she meets with students after class in the library to help them with anything they’re struggling with.
If you take your essays and ideas to her during these “office hours” then your grade will thank you. You’ll understand the objectives of the course a whole lot better, and Professor Arrington will make note of the extra effort you’re putting in. Besides, Proff. A is just one of those really interesting people you’ll want to get to know outside of class.
Now, to get an A in her class will take a great deal of sincere passion about the subject matter. Whatever you choose to do a project on, make sure you have intellectual curiosity in it. Don’t just do something simply for the sake of doing it. Whatever you do in this class, put lots of thought into it.
In closing, I loved Professor Arrington’s class, but that doesn’t mean everyone will. If you’re looking for an easy course to get an A in, Professor Arrington is not for you. But if you think you can handle everything I’ve mentioned, then by all means get her as your teacher.
