If you enjoy studying English, you already know some of the pleasures and complications of reading and writing with others.
Most people appreciate the variety of the reading and writing experiences.
Most people also appreciate the variety of approaches and strategies professors use in major courses. However, it is inevitable that sometimes that variety of expectations and perspectives can be confusing or frustrating. Your grades, and our comments on your work, may not always seem to take into account the amount of thought and effort that went into your assignments. You may feel at times that you are only discovering after the fact what your professors wanted you to do. If this happens, be reassured that we do our best to make our expectations clear and our suggestions for improvement helpful and positive.
