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?
