Before coming into this class, I thought, like mcurrie, that we would talk about evolution in very concrete and scientific terms.  I was also surprised to find that this course focused more on ways of evolutionary thinking, and philosophy.  On writing in the forum, the first few classes I would leave class with an idea in my head about what to write.  However, after a few classes I started leaving class with no clear ideas and instead a muddle of questions and semi-ideas.  This class makes me question everything and every idea I have previously taken for granted.

The main way that my thinking has changed is in how much I question, and how deep I question.  Before this course, I didn't give that much thought to other possible forms of education, or to what my own education had done, or not done for me.  Despite my new ways of thinking, sometimes I find it difficult  to implicate an ever-questioning state of mind.(Or maybe this new way of thinking has become so rooted that I even question it...)
