How to Use a Computer For Dummies:
Let me start with two quotes from classmates to me.
"You could be our goddess. We'd worship you."
"How much are we paying for this class? $70 an hour? We could pay you half that to teach us instead..."
Now, if people are saying that to me, you know it's bad.
The teacher cannot teach. She cannot. She does not even try. She lets us figure things out for ourselves, and some of us swim and others sink. This is wrong, this is bad, this is extremely frustrating. Dreamweaver. Microsoft Access's more, uh, esoteric functions. These are NOT things one can figure out for oneself.
Storytelling with Professor Giles:
Funfunfunfun AAAAAAUGH. Funfunfunfun AAAAAAAUGH. We're starting the third round of that now.
The class is great, I just can't conquer my stage fright.
So far I've told "The Rabbit's Escape," a Korean folk tale, and "Snow," Francesca Lia Block's retelling of "Snow White."
My paper is on Japanese propaganda in kamishibai during the war, and I hope to have it up online soon.
Children's Literature with Professor Giles:
Yummy spirited arguments. 10-pages single-spaced paper, though, which is killing me.
Reference:
I look things up. I learn things. Despite massive amounts of work, this class, at least, is not causing me great pain.
