First of all, I can't stress enough how important it is that you all fill out the Ecafe review. If us instructors are to get any better, and if our departments are to have any grounds on which to hire us, we need these inputs from the students. PLEASE, if you haven't, log in to eCAFE at http://www.hawaii.edu/ecafe and fill it out. Your reviews are entirely anonymous and I don't see them until after I have entered your grades...
Thank you for your responses to Butler. I detect a certain fatigue or lack of rigorousness in the reading of some of you... I hope its due to some really good final papers being written. I look forward to reading them. Remember, they are due tomorrow Tuesday at midnight Hawaii time. And at this point, I would like to say thank you again for taking this course. I sincerely hope you feel it has been worthwhile, and that you have learned something, or perhaps that you have become more confused about something, which is just as much a type of learning. I have enjoyed our online discussions! Thanks for your final thoughts on Chamayou. It's amazing how many different examples of contemporary hunting practices you all came up with.
The book for our last week of reading is difficult. But good. So I guess it's sort of like the rest of the books we have read... I have put this book at the end because I really think it sums everything up with the notion of "grievability." It also takes the topic of our course and holds it up against the role of media, something we haven't discussed yet. I'm interested to see what you think. Please read the introduction and chapters 1, 2 and 3. (page 1-135). FInal papers: I have now added a detailed description of what I expect from your final papers. It is right here on the website under "assignments". When this week is over, there is only a few more days before your paper is due, so I strongly recommend you to begin researching and writing it now if you haven't already. |
