Coursera: Fantasy and Science Fiction (Summer 2012) discussion

I'm enjoying the conversation and commiseration with you all here and I'm going to miss it in the next classes.

Yes, I'm doing G&R and a couple starting in November, with any luck :) It'll be nice to continue along with you!

Bit worried about the volume of work, though - it estimates less hours than Sci-Fi but cites ten lectures per week plus quizzes AND writing assignments. No mention of peer reviews, no grading info...I wish they'd put the "work expectations" section up.

Me *gulp*. Told you I'm crazy.

What about Poetry, anyone up for that one too?

I've never been good with analyzing poetry so I didn't take it although I was tempted. :)

No, not poetry, didn't fancy it...I might in future, I suppose. It wasn't as interesting to me as Drugs & The Brain (I have a brain sciences background so I'm taking lots of science courses next year) and "Think Again: How to Reason and Argue" - after a string of 4s on this course I think I could do with it!

That's precisely the reason I decided to take it =)

not the poetry, but I am in the Sustainability class...it's quite interesting!

Sustainability class is driving me nuts :-s I'm trying to catch up with all the current courses, and being behind ain't helping. Aldo, current changes to the quizzes and no stable format of the lectures materials alignment, too - took me a while to figure out how o get to Sustainability's stuff!

The content is interesting, though.

really interesting! I failed 3 quizzes though because I went and looked at them before taking them, not realizing I couldnt do that.

I'm on both - for my sins? :)
