Woah. Discussion Summary.

Well. We didn't discuss for a while, but really, I probably wouldn't have done it until now anyway.

So. Last Tuesday I believe we made fun of Jamboree for a while and talked about what was good and bad about our and other people's booths. The question was raised, "How could it be better?" We saw some of the major faults to be the lack of people who came, and the lack of interaction between people. So we thought maybe more advertising of what was there, and making the booths more interactive, or find some way to make it easier for people to learn about each other's classes/booths.
We then moved on to, after many insults, what positive things Jamboree presented. The process of building something together seemed to be the highlight. "gel." That's true I guess. Having a more measurable goal, and then accomplishing it is an interesting and more productive? way to interact and get to know other people, adding to the common experience deal.
Human Diversity. (scoff). How did it relate to this theme? It did not, seemingly.
Possibly a current events-themed FYS, with different professors focusing on different issues, like freedom of speech, povery, etc.
Then we thought maybe it was just that it was a stupid boring requirement and no one would ever be happy with it, so why bother?
But we talked about what the other section of the class had came up with for a plan for a better FYS, which was Current Events with and emphasis on...
A possible problem with this would be the likely spiral of silence of the outnumbered conservatives. Though a solution to this could be assigning positions for discussions.
A current events theme would possibly make it easier to have a convocation or a faculty forum that made sense/related to everyone's FYS.
We also talked about Bernstein Bears for a while.

Tuesday we talked about grades for quite a while. Then vending machines, which I will admit was my fault. I don't usually like when we talk about clearly off topic things. Sorry. We then discussed evals and what they do. We also talked about what some people are doing over break. Steph got a harmonica for her birthday. Apples to Apples!
