I try to stop people talking about themselves and assuming that because they are apples, everyone else is too. It's pretty hard to get away from the depressing stuff.

I always wonder if that's the right way to go. Re the reading - keeping them honest is hard. This is always a big class (required for one of our majors) and I find that journals and quizzes are too much work for me for the amount of payoff I get. This fall I did more in-class simulation stuff.<br /><br />Have fun planning!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965259928416432832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-27396568784190307742010-12-08T15:27:21.993-08:002010-12-08T15:27:21.993-08:00oh, fruit and Area Studies work well together as a...oh, fruit and Area Studies work well together as an intro too. (Though sometimes I fear that Area Studies courses don't do enough to problematize the entire concept of fruitiness, they are so busy cramming Area content into students' heads.)Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-15180937319578059612010-12-08T15:17:44.243-08:002010-12-08T15:17:44.243-08:00I cannot express how much I would like to watch a ...I cannot express how much I would like to watch a Fruit Studies film with you as my instructor.
