APELC Class Notes

APELCers, as much as we could in the time we had, we discussed the Ayad text and I conferred with some of you over your free-responses. During the class discussion, I asked you several divergent questions that went beyond what you were instructed to answer initially, and I encouraged you to think of your own as you read from now on. These are level 3 questions and can be specific to a text or may be broader essential, existential questions.

I also challenged some of your interpretation and your ideas in a way that can be frustrating because I often engage in reductionism frequently leading to reductio ad absurdum.

Finally, I handed out a text about language for you to work on by yourselves, and which we’ll discuss later in class. See your class page for details.
I’ll see you next class.

UNOFFICIALLY. Please let me know if you’ll be attending one of the information sessions I’m conducting tomorrow (Tuesday) evening or the evening after (Wednesday) for those interested in traveling with me and several other Dorados across Europe at the end of this school year.
