The Persuasiveness of a Message

I am a bit troubled by the recent exchanges between our Professor and Bill. Is this the type of response we should anticipate if we disagree or express frustration with an ill defined requirement? Would this argument have gone "nuclear" if the discussion was face-to-face? At the heart of the matter, I am mostly disappointed by the souring of my previously elated attitude toward my next class. I hope that we as a group, both Professor and class alike, can move past this soiling experience unprejudiced and ready to work. What do U think?



I look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday night.

My Introduction

I first have to say that I was a bit intimidated by this requirement. This was mainly because it required conveying myself through writing. In communicating anything, I find I am much more articulate through speaking. Having said this, I lack a singular, definitive topic for this week's post. I have several interests which include skiing, running, watching movies and TV, politics and reading. Though I enjoy each of these things, I lack a breadth of knowledge to discuss any of them exhaustively here. I blame this on my ADHD. Due to this, my site will probably lack any coherent structure other than the requirements dictated in our syllabus. Strangely, I look forward to this opportunity to apply my self-reflection through the written word. Just on a side note, did anyone else feel like Doogie Howser M.D. (i.e. Barney on the show "How I Met Your Mother") while writing this initial post. Just me? OK.
