summaries: due Wednesday, May 1, at 12:00 noon.

What should your summary summarize? 

Your experience.

Is there a content thread that has surfaced throughout the semester?  Were all the lectures you selected about food (for example)?  Are there major and minor threads?  If there was no continuity to the selections made, what do you make of that?  Did you follow lectures that seemed logical or illogical given your work and current interests?  Observe, don't judge.

Was there a leitmotif for the entire class?

Has there been a lecture or event that turned out to be more important to you than you would have expected?  Has that content shown up in your work?

Did anything unexpected happen?  Were you blown away (positively) or angered by any event?

You have had the freedom to curate your own course content.  The quality, look, shape, feel of this course has been left to you to create.  Have you done anything different with this class than (perhaps) what you expect to find in a normal lecture class (say art history)?

Is there something about the creation of your individual course that might allow you to think differently about your entire educational experience?  Can you compare or contrast this class to your entire undergraduate degree?

How many of your own ‘excavations’ did you attend?  Is there a particular person who tended to ‘excavate’ events that you looked for?  If so, why?

We are (generally) visual artists. What is the purpose of documentation?  Have you thought about a variety of ways to document your experiences other than a single image? How important were the visuals that you created?  Were they used simply as proof of attendance, or did they evolve into art?  Was more thought put into documenting visually than writing?  What do you make of that?

How often did you look at other miner’s blogs?  Did you look at the excerpts?  If you did, did you then look at the author’s blog to follow up?  How aware were you of other ‘miners’ existence?

week #12 excerpts

week #11 excerpts

Wes: college graduation to an interview with the CIA

Alejandra: I’m an English major. It is a language of conquest.

Bill: the issue with the bag is that it only has limited pressure to 1 atmosphere, so porosity will show up.

Gino: you are documenting qualities and experiences to demonstrate your overall well-roundedness

Molly: I think we all know how religion and sexual orientation is thought about in the US

Erin: gun violence and degrading women is what sells but why?

Anne: a guy who had to crawl through the fence in order to get to the bar he wanted to go to.

Brianne: " I prefer to die my life then live my death"

Harrison: There were some very saddening things said

Shannon: There are no parallel surfaces in the hall

Alejandra: You wish you could be me, but you can't. You can't even touch me.

Metro: not only participating in, but also observing segregation will lead to the development of prejudice and biases

Christian:  stories of homesickness entail of leaving the space of one's home, but what happens when your home leaves you

Animah: falls in love with a left-leaning radical boyfriend and studies French

literature.

Seano: to the future SPOILER ALERT: we’re all fucked

Roshni: as a freshman I would have never known about one of these

Mike B: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZvPqK6Sq88s#!

Kelsey: I wish she had spoken more for people who like to learn but aren't good at school

Courtney: a man named Hsiang Po stalled an assassination attempt on the Han dynasty king with his long, silk sleeve

Puja: I believe in something - that much is clear to me

Monica: it was the only one that I could attend :/

Hugh: Concepts like family or blood relations, ownership, the self and the other, or the concept of having authority–these are stolen from humans

Harrison: I wanted to throw all of my money at them, but I had a limited amount of singles, so I just had to settle for giving them a small tip.

Alex: Natalie was very young during the conflict

Becca: it is hard for me to hear people talking about my religion
