I agree with Rachel, the variety in the course material has allowed us to try and play to everyones likes and dislikes. It keeps us interested and doesn't allow us to fall into a rut. We do seem to stray from topic every once in a while and have a sort of competition rather than an open conversation. Rather than being open to new ideas and different points of view everyone seems to attack and shut down to the ideas rather than exploring their potential. I have been guilty of doing this and it leaves me annoyed and feeling like nothing was accomplished. I leave class feeling unsatisfied and like something wasn't accomplished. I'm not exactly sure how we can fix this, especially since we are a diverse class with lots of varying opinions. It is something that we should think about trying to curtail to have a fuller and more complete discussion.
