The main focus of this course is to write in a journal (almost everyday), along with in class discussions about the readings, among other things. You do not have to do everything to get an A and Sean is an amazing professor. 100% recommend!",

You did not have to do every aspect of the class to get an A. Sean was an engaging teacher who didn't care about the quality of your writing, but focused on making you a better writer.",
