What a treat it was to take this class, but more so to have met and collaborated with great minds. I would like to say how much I enjoyed this class, reading our discussion posts and our responses to one another. Oftentimes, I found the ideas presented compelling and-moving. This semester was truly a delight, and probably one of the most challenging courses I have taken this year at State; which is a good thing, I found myself questioning and challenging my beliefs–this is were growth happens. I hope everyone in this class had a pleasant experience. This class was intellectually satisfying; I was able to read new literature and expand on my personal library at home. This class definitely inspired me to be on the lookout for other literary works– works that will more than likely end up on my archive. The texts, ideas and essays presented deepened my intellectual curiosity and restructured how I perceive the world– how I can engage with the world from this point on. I’m looking forward to working on my final project in hopes of it being something interesting and illuminating.
Thank you all, professor and colleagues for making my last semester at State a memorable one.
Josue, you did some great thinking with your posts in this class. I really liked the space you got into. I remember you even brought up David Foster Wallace at some point, too. The extrapolatory aspects of thinking and working through the assignments and projects in this class were my favorite part. It was all new, and we were all questioning everything, but at the same time, it was all relative and connected. I’m glad we paired up for our final projects towards the end. Glad your last semester at State was memorable!
It was a sincere pleasure having you in class. I could tell that you enjoyed learning from everyone and appreciate the style of collaborative, generative conversation; indeed, you were vital to creating that experience. I wish you all the best in your near future, and I hope you’ll stay in touch.
