Seperate Disciplines

I've really enjoyed the time we've spent in Aquinas focusing on each discipline separately. What I've particularly enjoyed is our focus on the reports written by war correspondents in journalism. We've read some interesting stories, watched some intriguing films, and have had some good class conversations on this topic. The fast pace in religious studies (switching from Cults to Mary Magdalene to the book of Revelation) has also been quite informative. We've briefly looked at the significance of wording in sentences, and its impact on meaning in English. However, while the three courses are separated, I wish more of an emphasis would be put on the English discipline. Religious Studies and Journalism have entered worlds of their own, but our English course has yet to do so. In my opinion, our English class would benefit from such activities as poetry analysis, Shakespeare analysis, short story analysis, or the study of a novel, and written reports based on these works. But overall, the divided course segment of Aquinas has been very interesting.
