I am so glad that you are having fun with this new course. It must be fun to teach a course YOU put together and to do something other than Frosh Composition. I will look at the blog...I want to take the course. It reminds me of a Sci Fi course that had a great title at Stanford when I was there. People flocked to the course. It was fun and it was truly academic....Hey, surprise, Learning Can Be Fun!!!!!

Anna, tell me more about your class. Did you have the idea for the class and proposed is as a class to a professor? How long have you thought of doing this? How many students enrolled?
I am continuously amazed at you. That is so great. I would love to take it if I could!!!
