A Little Too Much Class

I'm a little embarrassed and disappointed by this find.  I went ahead and "wordled" my class syllabus and look what I found.  The word I used the most is "class."  If you ask me what main ideas I hope my course syllabus gets across, that would not be my first choice.  I mean, they already know it's a class, right?  I don't see words like: learn, challenge, discover, enjoy, think, or create.  I talk about all those things.  A lot.  Next time I vow to also spell it out on paper.

How about you?  Go ahead - copy and paste the text of your course syllabus or other class introductory materials into Wordle and see what stands out.
