I am human. I am a 4th semester computer science major who neglected his general math and English courses until this year, and will be transferring next fall to Oregon State. Ive never been in a class that incorporates blogging and am excited to see how it plays out instead of the usual paper per week. I don't have any experience with it, however I have read many blogs, both personal and community based, and am looking forward to making my own. I'm looking forward to reading about the evil influences of the west (from the other perspective) and hope to bring a positive attitude to the group and the class. As far as skills that will be an asset to the class, I am a comp science major and hopefully my computer skills will help my group. I also have an uncanny ability to google things and select the best site from the top 3 that show up, making me a highly valuable research asset.
I have already read Persepolis in my last class (world history) so its all pretty fresh in my mind. I'm looking forward to hearing and reading about the other portrayals of the book. I enjoyed it because it was one of the first graphic novels that Ive ever read and I think it leaves the story more open to interpretation.
In short I'm looking forward to this class and creating a blog. I am looking forward to the discussion regarding the evils of west, along with some debate with my group and other students in the class.
It's great to have you in the class! I'm happy to hear that you have computer skills...I can surely use help in that regard from time to time. Hopefully, we can build on your experience with Persepolis, so that you can better understand this complex situation. As Americans, these issues involve all of us, whether we like it or not.
