So far I believe the way this course is set up has helped me learn much much more than I probably would have if this course were to be taught differently.  There is a certain lightness to this course, which I don't mean to imply that it is any easier because there is still work to be done, that gives room to explore different perspectives.  This is because both professors, Anne and Paul, search for different ideas and views on the same topic.  This encourages students to think outside the box and freely express themselves without fear of having the wrong opinion. 

On Tuesdays I really enjoy the furthering that is done on the readings because it helps explain different concepts or ideas that we cannot fully grasp.  On Thursdays we have our group discussions, which are very open and allow students and professor to express their concerns or ideas openly in a more intimate environment. 

I'm looking forward to the next half of the semester, for it should be very interesting to explore the concept of stories evolving.  This is a new concept for me as I have only really thought about evolution in biological terms.
