As the semester progressed, I began to take the class seriously. I set time apart to work on assignments in advance.  I realized my instructor was knowledgable and I could learn a lot from her. I learned a lot about revision and rhetoric, and I enjoyed trying to apply what I learned to my work. I started tailoring my work to my chosen audience rather than myself or the instructor.  I opened up to the class and learned a lot from editing the work of my peers. Specifically, I learned nobody's work is ever perfect, and my peers have interesting and unique viewpoints that I can learn from.
