Since the class is so large for everyone to be able to contribute to the discussion, I find the smaller group discussions helpful. It's always interesting when we reconvene as a class because I always think everyone will have come to the same conclusions, but that is never the case. So I think the smaller groups might make it possible for more views/ideas to come out. I enjoyed the panels, especially when people got really into character. I need to work on posting more frequently.

Talking about gender was fun, but it didn't strike me as anything new. I do think that other people in the class learned a lot. I feel as though people probably enjoyed the gender discussions more than the information discussion, but I found the information discussions to be more interesting because I hadn't given much thought to information/meaning/understanding. Well, that's not entirely true. I've given it thought, but I think it's easier to draw conclusions about gender than information.

I've been struggling to think of a text. The first one that came to mind was House of Leaves because it's written in a style that's so different from anything else I've read. But it's very long so it might not be a realistic suggestion.
