You heard comments and maybe grievances from your seniors about Critical Literacy, but what is/are your expectation(s) or hope for this subject as you are just started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I entered this semester, I had heard from many seniors as well as lecturers about Critical Literacy. Seniors mentioned that it is a difficult subject whereas lecturers had always tried to make us start thinking critically. In general, all of them mentioned that it would be quite tough.
Although that is so, I braced myself for this so called tough subject as I entered this semester. As a person who generally really likes literature, I had hoped that this subject would be what I thought it would be - about classic literature or poems. Of course, I was nothing but wrong. Instead of classic literature or poems, articles were given to me and I have to analyze them; or as I have put it into simpler terms to show how tough I imagine it to be, I have to dissect the articles.
With this being said, I hope that this subject will help me in the future. Of course, by learning to dissect articles, I can put it into use in my own daily life and figure out the best ways to solve any problems that might be thrown to me.
Also, I hope to sharpen my thinking skills as I know that thinking critically is essential in decision making. Although it is believed to be a tough subject and it can make a person go mad, I really hope I can get passed that and get maximum benefit from this subject.
All in all, I hope Critical Literacy would be a subject I will enjoy and not stress over.
