This semester has been really fun and we have learned so much from the different books that we have read.  I found it extremely helpful when we had full on class discussions where everyone just goes back and forth saying what they think.  It helps you see the different aspects of the book that you yourself might not have been thinking.  I also found the blogs to be very helpful and I enjoyed blogging about the books we were reading.  For the 2nd semester I would like to continue to use the blogs for new assignments but to also keep using them for book discussions.  This 1st semester has been a great learning experience and I hope that the 2nd one is too.  I would also like to take this time to inform you that wasserman is in fact the man.
