Writing Classes

I find it quite strange that every single quarter there is a different writing style that each professor requires at this institution. It is frustrating to come to class and be totally lost on a lot of different things in this writing class. I  have never heard of a premise or "the cube". Teachers obviously teach differently. I received a pretty decent score on the first paper, shaky feelings about the second. Things that I have learned from other writing classes don't exactly have the carry over effect I'm noticing. So here I am sitting in Soc. 301 feeling like a beginning writer. I finished 412 with an A+. I know a little something about the Sociologists MT has mentioned. Trying to write the way this class is structured............... Guess I will be scheduling an appointment in your office hours to get this paper together, MT.
