The second film from the second module, Politics & Film. I’d seen this one before, so each of these questions got some background processing not afforded to most of the other movies in the course. Reading through this today, I’m still pretty solid on the answers written. Good Night,...

My writing style has become reasonably casual, parsed with a pompous vocabulary in pursuit of legitimacy (ha). I’ll construct essays like stories, and there’s nothing wrong with a joke every now and again. I like to think it conveys a comfortable confidence with the material, a “yeah I know...

This wraps up the first week of writing for Politics and Film. I’m pretty sure he had a rough word limit on the essays, which was handy after the pages and pages of questions for the individual films. Each module was due on a Sunday night, so of course...

I have …almost NO memory whatsoever of watching this one. There’s a rooftop scene I mention of which I have a vague impression, but that’s it. Otherwise this one made no dent at all. Meet John Doe How are questions of class, wealth and poverty dealt with in the...

I’d started midyear and knew after that first spring that CSUCI kinda sucked, so I enrolled for a few summer courses to move things along. This was killing my summer so I leaned heavily into what I already knew. There was a Nonprofit Management class that was almost word-for-word...

From the Race/Ethnicity final. Just the last half, the first wasn’t very good reading. This was the professor who assigned a ton a of writing. Between her three classes I got 1 A and 2 B’s. I’m really wondering if those B’s couldn’t have been fixed by some legitimate...

There was an in-class assignment one day (still 306 Race/Ethnicity), to use some database of extremist groups for research, and write up two pages on the group of our choosing. On one hand, I lucked out and picked a fun (as they go) group of jerks. On the other...

Good God, did I proofread this thing at all? So many typos. Think I got a B on this midterm, I’m not entirely surprised why. Usually I’ll do a quick read of each paragraph before moving on to the next one, but some of these exams were done at...

Ah, the good stuff. Race & ethnicity. And you thought perhaps I sounded condescending before, the guy commenting on rape culture? Ha. There are few things in this world more ridiculous than a white guy talking about racial issues. Tall people, perhaps- they’re pretty bonkers. But this was the...

This was the midterm. I’ve been looking around for the final, but that may have been the Smith thing. I know there’s a few things that were lost to mis-saves though, so who knows. In this case, the assignment was a flight of fancy. The lawyer representing Trump had...
