I like this class so far. the reading are all very interesting and it's hard to say that they don't have a lot going on in them. My only real complaint with the reading is that I often feel like I lack the proper cultural context to properly appreciate them beyond just a strange story. It is hard for me to place these with a culture in mind when I've hardly encountered or studied that culture at all. I'm not really saying that is something that could be fixed in this class, if anything it should be on me to do the research separately if I really wanted to know. But as is, it isn't something I could possible fit into my schedule.
Besides for that I have definitely run into the problem of forgetting i have work due in this class. That is just poor time- management on my part and no amount of articles on the subject will help.
I like the writing assignments, they really allow me to go in depth and really understand a story that I had previously just read over to get to the next one. It is a good way of making a student slow down and pay attention.
