So far I am really enjoying the direction of the course, and I think the variety of material that we will be covering over the course of the upcoming quarter will bring in a lot of different angles and perspectives on nonfiction. Looking back on the past quarter, however, I feel like we have had a lot of arguments and point-proving sessions that have drifted away from our main points. I live that in the class we can stray from the main point and explore new ideas surrounding it, but this is only constructive when the class is having a discussion, not always an argument.

What is Working? And What is Not Working?

It has been six weeks now since we started our journey to exploring reality and questioning the truth around us.  We have looked at four different texts that presented us with different ways of looking at truth and reality. I think the combination of the books that we encountered was a good way to start our class discussion. Each one of us had really interesting ideas to share with the rest of the class which added to the conversation we are having. I think that the four books that we read have helped us decide where we want to move next with the rest of the semester.
