I have to say that I think

I have to say that I think that this course has been exceptionally useful--er, generative. I think that, especially as college students, we have a tendency to put things like literature and science up on a pedestal from which we can learn and become better people. It is rare that we are asked to create or deconstruct something that we value highly, whether it be canonical literature or empirical science. I think that crossing the boundaries of the disciplines, melding science and literature, necessitates a boldness that cannot come from passive reverence. For me, this course has rendered both science and literature exponentially more accessible. The ivory tower has toppled.
