Today in English Literature we've done lots of things; we calculated our grades so far, decided things needs be improved in our final exam, reschedual the date of the final exam (oh now I probabaly have to take the composition, spanish and English finals in the same week, crap!)
I though it was interesting to see one of the classmates gave his opinion on the questions in our midterm XD, it was more like an debate between professor and him during the class. But I do think there are something need to be improved in the exams; for instance, the coverage of the whole exam was huge. It was a blessing for us to read everything in the text, not even to mention memorizing some details. Narrow down the coverage more and give more concise direction of the exam would help students in preparing the finals.
As for the work of John Miltion, I only learned about author's life and some of his life experiences. He was really bright that his blind was not enough to stop him form the writing of his great works. His life was inspiring, his continuous creation made him one of the great wirter of the time.
I barely learn a thing from the text of his work today. The teaching was confusing to me; wondering why should we learn the English poem in Chinese translation, besides, the translation sometimes doesn't make sense (maybe that's because I didn't understand at all) All I could say is that everythining in the PPT today didn't have me understand the poem and I thought that the class was really bored!!
