For Credit: Five Years from Now

The following clip, "The Five Minute University," featuring Father Guido Sarducci (comedian Don Novello), is a few decades old, but still current:




What will you remember from English 427 in five years' time?

There are two ways to answer this question:

1) As Father Guido Sarducci would.

2) As a hard-working and idealistic college student fresh from the course would.

You can decide how to answer (giving two answers in an option).

Deadline: Friday (5/6), 5pm.

For Credit: Awesome Attendance Questions that Won't Be Used for Attendance

I didn't ask for awesome today, but you guys came up with awesome.

As with the awesome exam questions, you can post a response to any of these.  If your response has some intellectual content related to the course material, I will grade it for blog credit.

• Have you come any closer to tracking down the White Bear?
• What your favorite section of this course and why?
• If you were to pose an attendance question on the subject of coming up with attendance questions, the question should be "What are the philosophical implications of asking attendance questions?"
• What were your favorite and least favorite works we read this semester and why?  What other works, if any, do you wish we had gotten to read?
• Is the later eighteenth century an important period of its own or is it simply an in-between era of literature?

Deadline: Wednesday (5/4), 1pm.

Just So You Know....

As of today, I'm two weeks behind in the blog grading.  I'm not likely to correct the situation until I'm finished with the current round of paper grading.
