Class of One - Week 1

I just completed the first week of classes and am pretty excited about how well the material came across, alot of that is the teachers' dynamism and enthusiasm about the class but better is the video material which can help animate a subject where print alone struggles.

In the first class, the professor seemed a little unenthusiastic about his biology section. It must be hard to make mitotic algae processes 'come to life' but I'm happier with the professor teaching Darwin and Origin which is the third part of the course dealing exclusively with evolution. Also, note-taking isn't so hard with a pause button; I can have coffee too plus the bathroom break normally denied in an auditorium full of attentive and disturbable students.

That and the guy teaching the Theory of Meaning course sounds like a Beatle or Desmond Hume from Lost. The class is highly logic oriented but the process is promised to really examine 'the mechanisms at play' within language. Which is good because theory without exploration is standing still on the latest answer and everyone likes a good head-scratcher.
