Reflection
Serendip really makes this class work for me. I enjoy how the structure currently is and the valuable information you get from peers inside and outside of class. As for the class as a whole, I cannot pinpoint one specific area where improvement is needed. The books will hopefully getting more interesting to me and less tedious to read.
I've learned much more about Darwin and evolution in the past few weeks than I thought I would ever. Taking a semester course on evolution clearly wasn't enough, since evolution is so broad a topic. I also really enjoy how we look at the language of some of the texts we read and pick apart the meanings and audiences targeted (such as in Darwin and Dennett). I got a better sense of their intent and purpose in publishing such texts. This also opened my eyes up to a sort of inside view of science that I wouldn't regularly get to visit in some Bio courses.
Individually, I feel that I should make more time to read over what my classmates are posting and make comments. I seem to be missing some really good insights into certain topics. In addition, learning how to published a more online friendly paper is in the works and I have definitely progressed from the last with the tips offered in class.
I hope that I can continue to contribute online and interact with my classmates and that the texts grab my attention a little more than before. Moving into the more literary side of things seems scary but I'll go with an open mind.
