Today in class we did a peer review. I was partnered with Chanelle. I'm actually very glad that we had this peer review because Chanelle gave me some really good feedback on my research component. She informed me to further expand on my summary, and gave me specific parts where I should do so. When i verbally explained the article to her she was able to understand better than what i had wrote on my wiki. I'm glad because I have an actual point in my writing where to work on and how to work on.
Also Professor Lee talked about how we can better develop our web project page, which is something im currently focusing on.
On a side note, we have to do presentations of our web project, which is something I always hate.

Reasons/Conditions for Revision
Yesterday, we went over a sheet that gave 10 reasons for revisions. This sheet had certain phrases that were to be interpreted into a more practical reason. I found this fun to do. We were grouped up to decipher the phrases. My group was given phrase 1 and 2. which were:
1. All life is meaningful.
2. Memory is selective and fallible.
--------------------------------------
My group came up with the following, respectively:
1.Time can always bring you new ideas and thoughts, these thoughts can change previous ideas and views that you had on a topic.
2.You can make mistakes on based on the things that you recall, when you recall them you can recall them with a bias and make the event not true.
It was very tricky to think of a proper way to further define the phrases but it was fun.

Class Discussion 9-23-08
Today in class we continued to discuss Foucault's essay, Panopticism. We talked about the plague, which Fouault opens with, and the panopticon We determined that the plague symbolized chaos and that the panopticon represented discipline and order. We also discussed what each did, for example, how the order brought on by the panopticon allowed for synergy amongst society and makes people do what they are suppose to.
One student in our class argued, I think, that the plague, which represented chaos, brought upon, or atleast, helped bring discipline. For lack of a better analogy, it's like having light that hits an object and creates a shadow. The shadow only exists because of the presence of light.
I enjoyed today's discussion mostly because it allowed me to comprehend Foucault's writing better than what i previously understood, although I am still fuzzy on most his writing.
