Response to Course Material #2
I still really enjoy the class, the people are easy to interact with and the material is relatable. You'd think that families that mutilate their children wouldn't be relatable, but their craziness is oddly normal, what family is normal anyway? I'm still not quite comfortable with open prompt essays, partially because the techniques most analyzed in open prompts are my least favorite techniques. I just don't like using details, it always feels too much like summarizing. The class work with closed prompts is starting really sink in. It's made analyzing a specific work come a lot quicker, although I have to admit that may be because I can bounce it off the other members of my group.

Hey Lindsay!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never thought abut relating my own family to the family in , but now that you mention it, it's quite true. Most families are crazy in one way or another!
About the open prompts: I felt that it was a hassle to write about DIDLS at first, but I think it takes a while to ease into it. It's not as bad when you get the hang of it! Details is a bit like summarizing, but maybe that's why I haven't used the 'details' in a while! I'll have to try and write about that sometime!
Glad that you still enjoy the class!

You have pretty much summarized my thoughts of this class. The material is good and the people are easy to talk to about it. With the issue of DIDLES, details also feel like to much of a summary to me! I think it's one of those things you just have to practice and get used to.
