I had more trouble working on this class through Serendip than I have with any other classes I’ve used Serendip for. I think that was because most of our class postings were so personal that they were hard to comment on. Yes you can discuss someone else’s experience, but there is only so much talking back I feel you can do because even reading about experience cannot place you there the same way the author was placed there. You can read, you can learn, but it won’t ever fully be yours. I’m not sure if other people felt the same way, but I definitely saw less discussion on Serendip, and I know that I engaged in less.
Our class discussions also had their ups and downs for me. At the beginning of the semester we had a good amount of reading, and when I take the time to do the reading for a class my hope is that we will have the chance to discuss it in class, an opportunity to grow in understanding and to try on different readings that others picked up on. My first frustration...
