What did you expect?

When I first began taking this class I had no idea what to expect we were to do. I had never taken the class before nor had I heard from the students that previously took the class. They never talked about what they did or what I should expect. I thought editing would be like any other creative workshop class, where we do some readings and discuss, plus decide on submissions. Well it really wasn't that simple.

So I open up this question. What did you guys expect this class would be like?
