I was kind of intimidated at first being (I believe the only) political science major in the class. But I really enjoy the class. I was surprised I actually enjoyed reading Darwin, and I have found Dennett to be interesting as well.

I like the small group discussions better because I find it easier to talk. I would also find it useful to be given some things to think about, or discussion questions before Thursday's discussions. The lectures seem to go on and on, especially when a question is asked and either it takes a long time for someone to answer, or there are a lot of answers but none of them are "the" answer. I look forward to the second half of the semester when we focus more on literature.

I'm generally not a big fan of blogs or online postings for classes. I think I'm just used to more formal writing. I do find it useful in that if I'm having trouble understanding something or can't think of something to discuss, looking at what other people have written gives me something to think about.
