I’m sitting in a quiet computer lab at Oxy as the 2009 crew completes their re-writing project. Questions and concerns about choosing the perfect text clouded last night’s discussions but that seems so long ago as the project winds down today. The energy created through this sort of engagement with a theoretical idea is kinetic. The text selections now have life, connectivity, and demands hardly anticipated when the writing began a few hours ago.
For Alumni, what do you remember most about this assignment? Have you now utilized this text or this mode of academic inquiry? Share your reflections… and well wishes for 2009 participants… in the comments below.
For those of you attending the Academy (in real life) and submitting your work today, feel free to share your reflections on the assignment too. If you still have a few words left in you, please share them!
I enjoyed the writing assignments the most. They allowed for creativity. They were thought-provoking. I’m proud of what I was able to produce in such a short amount of time, and sharing my work with Ben and Christina and then sharing theirs was a valuable experience.
