Class Expectations

As anyone who has taken one of Dr. Sexon's classes before should know, it is pointless to come up with class expectations because he always blows them out of the water. Not only do we often discuss things that are not even briefly mentioned on the syllabus, but every student gains a greater knowledge about a variety of things. Each class I have taken from him is more enjoyable than the last, and he continues to surprise me with the amount of knowledge he has retained over the year. Therefore, the only expectations that I feel I am capable of making at this point are these:

1. I expect to be enthralled, entertained, educated, and at times exasperated.

2. I am sure to gain a greater knowledge base regarding literature and how to go about dissecting and reading it.

3. I am hoping to make it through Finnegan's Wake, but may fail, and will definitely face points of frustration.

4. Lastly, I expect to enjoy the class immensely and perhaps make another friend or two.

Again, I feel those are really the only expectations that I can have at the moment. I am looking forward to enjoying the class and broadening my knowledge and view of the world of literature. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to seeing what everyone else has to say throughout the semester!
