This is the third time I'm writing this because I lost my other two draft papers that I had before, so bear with me here if I start not making sense. Basically, when I came into WISE, I had very confused ideas about the entire thing. To the future WISE students out there, WISE isn't just your typical half year actual English and half year of randomly doing nothing. I heard a lot of rumors about this class before I got here, and honestly, I was quite scared. Since supposedly, an entire year of material is squeezed into a half year period of time, I had heard that the first half of English is incredibly difficult. However that's supposed to payoff as later, during the second half, there's practically nothing to do! NOT TRUE. Actually, I feel like the class is very well distributed, and I didn't feel overwhelmed during the first half. The second half however, I'd be lying to say that it was a breeze... What was supposed to be a half year of free periods was definitely not a breeze. It's actually kind of crazy that the notion of "the second half of WISE doesn't even matter" ever came to existence because out of all the other WISE students that I know, there isn't one that isn't actively working on their project throughout the entire period. From what I've seen, every student has passion and fervor towards their project, and it's just very pleasing to see how much everyone enjoys what they have time to do.
So in all, dear future students... don't get a misconception. Yes WISE will be requiring work second semester, and yes it's definitely manageable. Honestly if I were given the same option again, I would definitely still choose WISE because it was one of the greatest investments I've ever made for myself.
Sincerely,
****
