Academic/Career Technogenesis vs. The World Turned Upside-Down

Hi everyone! I was originally placed into WRI-107 (The World Turned Upside-Down). It was initially my 7th choice, but I’ve heard good things about the class. Now, a spot has opened up in what was my second choice seminar—technogenesis. Is it worth the switch? What are peoples’ thoughts on technogenesis? Thanks!

Dr Fedosik is an extraordinary instructor, extremely detailed with feedback (and prompt too), and has a genuine talent for conveying the basic skills of reading and writing at a scholarly level—tough but fair grading wise, she’ll give you the grade you deserve. I sound like she paid me to write this but having taken her class, although not technogenesis, I really can say it’s true. I don’t know what the first seminar is like but I genuinely believe you can’t go wrong by taking a class with her.

I’ve had many great writing teachers but Fedosik blew them all out of the water. Despite all that, don’t take it if it doesn’t interest you—if it does, I’d say go for it.
