Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)

Evaluation
The format of this class, as one large class on Tuesday and a smaller one on Thursday, works really well for me. I enjoy the smaller classes more, typically, but I feel that the Tuesday classes give us a foundation to build on in the smaller group discussions.
While I am unused to working collaboratively vua the internet, I think that the web aspect of the course does open up a new forum for learning from and interacting with classmates. The webpaper concept still confuses me a little as I haven't really been treating it as a separate form of paper from a print essay. I'm not entirely sure that with the topics I am choosing that it helps to have it in a webpaper format, but I do like that in a webpaper I think that I am allowed to be more casual in my phrasing. As far as negatives go with the web, I think that navigating the web and serendip in particular is difficult in terms of being able to wade through the massive streams of information available.
Learning about evolution just makes me realise how much I don't know, won't know and can't know. At times the concepts we learn about start to become overwhelming, but for the most part they are fascinating enough for me to stick with. This is a course which emphasises the individual's perspective, and I'm interested in how this carries over into the literary section of the course.
