Well today Dr. Berg talked to us about our blog and keep mentioning wordpress, alot. I guess he really likes wordpress. He show us some example of other students blogs, and it helps a bit knowing what i can now do with this blog, hehe.
Also today he gave us an exercise to do, we had to analyze history based on what we had. It was funny cause he gave us two envelopes. The first one everyone opened and what looked like they were hoping for a clue to what we were supposed to figure out, but he screwed us over and left it blank. Which pretty much he said that when we analyze history sometimes we are left with nothing to go back on, so pretty much we can’t stuff up. Now in the second envelope we got clues, seasoning (pepper), a spoon, popcorn cernals, a napkin, a paperclip thingy (i really dont what it is, it looks like a paperclip though), a tack, a dollar bill, and coffee beans. When my group started discussing it we thought that the coffee, seasoning, and popcorn cernals represented trade. Then used a bit of word play to say that the tack meant tax, so we put the trade stuff together with the money and thought of a tax on the spoonfuls of the trade items. The funny things is we were like way off, I mean way off the answer was Dr.Berg’s office. All the items we were given were from his office. After he said that I understood the lesson, my group and I were making things up out of thin air and forgot about the empty envelope he gave us before. We weren’t supposed to make things up like what we were doing but we should have listened to the clues he told us and use the clues he gave us but no we didn’t, the whole class didn’t.
Oh yeah he also mentioned a video called a pale blue light, which was discussed in one of the students blogs that he showed us. It sounds interesting because the student said that the video in all three versions, were wrong he didn’t like the view it was presenting because it was against his christian nature. I’m agnostic and I’ve grown up in a christian home so now i want to see these videos, I’ll look them up and post what I think cause this guy sounded very offended by the video.
