class
I have to say that I like how class is going so far. It is a very open and inviting environment to be in where we can have a free exchange of creative thoughts. This class is very Allen Hall. I like that it is a smaller class and that we can see and hear from each other during discussion and get to know one another. Coming from my Biology lecture of about 600 or so, less than twenty students is very nice. I wish that we stayed on topic more about documentaries themselves. I feel that we get off into politics a lot. Politics is fine for some other time but I know I am sitting there a lot of times wishing we were on topic, or specifically talking about documentaries and the philosophy behind them. Also, the Michael Moore movies are really long which make things difficult. I love that the class is in our dorm which makes things easier when class gets out late since I only have to go up the stairs to the room.

That's a very reasonable concern, Shannon -- if you can, try to say something when you think we're getting off-track in discussions. It's definitely true that that's a danger with me :) -- though I confess that I'm not 100% clear precisely when those moments are occurring for you, since the films we watch (some quite explicitly, like the Moore) have a lot of 'political' relevance.
