Like a lot of my classmates, I was not what to expect from the class.  To cover all the issues that Gender, Information, Science, and Technology bring up in our society would be impossible in just one semester!!  While I have learned a little about each of those subjects throughout other classes, I have liked this class because I had not really thought about how these areas intersect until now.  Also, although the class is big, I have actually kind of liked that because there is such a diverse group of perspectives and people in the class.  Just in our last reading, I appreciated the idea of appreciating and exploring differences rather than trying to make everything equal.  In having such a large class, I think I have been able to appreciate the differences in my peers' views, which is cool. 

While I like that we have learned a little bit about Gender, Information, and now getting into Science, one downside to having so many topics to cover is that there are still so many questions to be asked about each topic.  I am really confused about my opinions on a lot of what we have read and I hope to explore my confusion in our final project or something.  Maybe exploring things further will only make me more confused though, so who knows!  Getting used to the online format of the class is a little tough for me just because I love having things printed out and ready to mark-up for me.  I think it's been good for me to try to get used to something like this since our world is becoming increasingly paperless.

I may be too late to suggest something, but I think that The Social Network is a film (or the book, too) that has a lot of relevance to this class.
