After the first week of classes, I find that this class still confuses me. My head is full of thoughts about comparisons, the nature of science and the humanities and Darwin's On the Origin of Species. However, I can't yet picture how they all fit together into one class. I feel as though I've been given pieces to a puzzle, but I can't yet see the picture they make when fit together. Hopefully the class will become clearer in the near future.

So far I have found this class fascinating, even if I do have trouble seeing where it is going. I was pleasantly surprised by On the origin of species. I expected it to be impossible to understand and incredibly boring. It ended up being fairly easy to understand and much more interesting than I exopected. I'm looking forward to seeing where this topic takes our class in the weeks ahead.
