First Course updates

Well I have just past the third week of class, and so far so good. It is keeping me busy. I have two papers due for next Monday, plus we have to finish our Team Paper, and for the week after we need to have a PowerPoint presentation ready for us to present.

So it keeps us on our toes.

Monday night we were discussing Critical Thinking. We got into a few things that I found interesting. I had to keep my snide comments to myself. This is something that isn't always easy for me. One of the things that was brought up was "Group Think". My first thought was the Blogsphere. Part of my thought on this was based on observations of the blogsphere, one person gets a thought, and the rest all parrot it. Blogs do not seem to invite much discussion or debate. There are very few blogs I have seen that have a debate going on in thier comments area. Part of this could be due to poor debate skills, but a lot of it also seems to be, that not many people disagree with the original poster.

I did have one other snide thought durring class, but I can't remember what it was in reference to. Ah well.
