My Participation in Class

I enjoy harkness table discussions. They started for me last year in Ms. Tally's Craft of Writing class. The class last year was very different as we would read and critique altogether during the class period.

I like to participate in class, in general. I have probably done a bit more listening than speaking for our discussions of Nervous Conditions. Whereas, for Things Fall Apart,  I found it easier to express opinions. Perhaps it's because of Tambu.. I find it hard to thoroughly enjoy Nervous Conditions, solely because of her, but nevertheless, I will contribute what I can to the discussion.

I can listen for a while, but I like to voice myself at some point. I think I can work a bit harder on speaking. Sometimes when I do speak, I tend to change the subject of discussion (not necessarily a bad thing). I should probably take more notes in my book and come a bit more prepared to ask questions to the class, but as of now, I am speaking whenever I feel unsure of anything.
