I would love to see you blog about teaching the Odyssey (or anything else, but the Odyssey for vets class sounds particularly interesting.)LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549099738504413408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832452014047878084.post-55083171161862439392011-10-13T07:35:31.404-07:002011-10-13T07:35:31.404-07:00On behalf of your students, I cite Derrida: "...On behalf of your students, I cite Derrida: "I would say that deconstruction is affirmation rather than questioning, in a sense which is not positive: I would distinguish between the positive, or positions, and affirmations. I think that deconstruction is affirmative rather than questioning: this affirmation goes through some radical questioning, but it is not questioning in the field of analysis." The application in this case is quite clear.Jason L.

This is probably the only gumby comic I ever owned. And it was awesome.

I've been tempted to start one (or if not a blog, at least some sort of record for myself) for one of the classes I'm teaching this semester. There's so much I want to remember for the next time I teach this particular course (a seminar on the Odyssey and sundry things for student war vets). Alas, no time!kphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06269054019130643762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832452014047878084.post-45472714115494139632011-10-12T18:55:14.068-07:002011-10-12T18:55:14.068-07:00Good ones!

I don't think there's any phrase my students have more trouble understanding than "If you are absent, you are responsible for getting and completing the work that you missed." It seems like we go over that one at least once a week.<br /><br />And wine sounds like a fine idea.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549099738504413408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4832452014047878084.post-31589690364844697762011-10-12T18:52:25.227-07:002011-10-12T18:52:25.227-07:00My students have trouble understanding things like...My students have trouble understanding things like "Bring your assignment to class on Wednesday" and "Do not email me your paper as an attachment." Oh, and also "If you are absent, you are responsible for getting and completing the work that you missed." I'm sure I could think of more if I tried. <br /><br />Have some wine.
