WEEK 8 DISCUSSION 1.2
Must post first.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISCUSSIONS: Your contributions should be thoughtful and developed. Answer all parts of the question and use concepts from the course materials. Use a professional style of communication, with attention to grammar, spelling, and typos; cite your sources.
Unless your instructor specifies otherwise, choose THREE of the following questions, and give a substantive response to at least two other students.
ANSWER THREE.
1. REFLECT ON YOUR OWN LEARNING. Please identify and share one of the most meaningful insights you obtained from the course. This insight must be strictly about you.
2. REFLECT ON THE ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF OTHERS. From the many artistic expressions provided in the course (paintings, photographs, videos, links, etc.), choose one that identifies a meaningful experience in the course. Explain why you chose that object and why it is meaningful. If possible, paste a copy or the link. Imagine that your choice will become a part of a Course Album of Meaningful Objects and your choice will be your contribution to the album.
3. REFLECT ON YOUR LEARNING ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS. What would you tell them about your experience together? What would you say to encourage them to continue their exploration of the humanities? How might you use the tools for interpretation that you have learned about in your life or at your job?
4. PERSONAL GROWTH. Paraphrasing Einstein, a person cannot grow remaining static—it takes new ideas, fresh thoughts and inspiration to bring about transformation. This is why the humanities are important. Where do you see the humanities helping you grow as a person?
5. “DEAR JOHN…” Write a letter to a friend about the course. In 150-300 words, tell your friend why you think the course would be valuable and personally enriching. Describe what you think they would learn from taking the course, and evaluate any aspect of the course that you think would be most relevant to your friend.
