Midterm Feedback

I don't know if my blogs have gotten any better. I think I've become more afraid of them because you Mr. Piekarski are looking at them. I know this sounds stupid, but sometimes when I've blogged my heart out towards the beginning of the school year and got nothing in response it was disheartening. I know I would say a lot and God you might have been thinking, Eva stfu already, but I NEED FEEDBACK.

Eva, my most humble apologies as I certainly never intended to become a looming presence of doom. I was also under the impression that our post-class talks were giving you feedback that they would become redundant had I also put them into words. Know that I read and cherish and savor each and every word of your soul in its bloggerly incarnation.

Know also, that I think your personal blog is one of the most adventurous and creative in class, and that your comfort level with looking at the world through multiple forms of media (and rhetoric) is a great strength which you should begin thinking about harnessing and developing further.

I am also most pleased with your class participation and the energy you bring to the topics at hand. Your class presence is always felt and is an integral part of our little humble community.

And as per our post-class discussions, I think you know what you need to do to improve your analytical thinking and writing on the RAs and I am ready to assist you with more candid talks and revision opportunities. Only say the word(s).

So, in conclusion (ha ha!) I'd like to reiterate that your approach to learning, and your ethos as a student and as a person is most excellent. Your RAs still have a full month to improve to the next level. And I imagine the project and how you present it will be a super treat for all of us. You seem to be fascinated by the visual rhetoric of posters... How about a presentation about the most rhetorically interesting images/posters/war propaganda?

So right now, I think you're right. You're at a B. But sneaking into the A territory is not impossible. If you will it, Dude, it is no dream.
