CATHY MCCUISTON

I had an exam I was studying for so I didn't have a chance to take part in the chat. From the messages I read it sounds like the chat had its pro's and con's. It sounds like people like the anonimity the chat provided, but with so many people responding at the same time the fastest typist was the only one that had their point heard. It sounded like a lot of fun. I'm sorry I missed it.

I really enjoyed the chat. I got to hear from people who normally don't talk in class, so it was nice to hear some new and different opinions. Also, it seemed to flow very well, even though at times i would get behind on the topic and my comment would come in a little late. Overall, I thought it was a good experience and put everyone on the same level for discussion. I would advise doing this in the future.

I missed the chat because my computer was not detecting my java scripts, but from what i have heard from those that did make it, it seems that it allowed people to speak more freely about their opinions. I also think that during the colder days it would be nice to be able to attend class via chatroom, though it seems it is a little too confusing for some people to do this more than occasionally.

I missed all of the sessions because I was out of town this weekend protesting, but it sounds like I would have enjoyed it. It seems like there was a lot of information covered and opinions stated in the short chat period. The only problem seemed to be the coherence of the conversation and being able to state his/her ideas and thoughts. I'd like to give this a try.

I was only able to attend one of the chat sessions for a little bit because of schedule conflicts, but what I experienced I really enjoyed. I agree that it was difficult to keep up with the conversation, especially since you could never be absolutely sure who was saying what about what topic. But I think the online chat sessions allowed everyone, shy or not, to voice their opinion with some what of a feeling of anonymity. But all in all, I'd rather be in class, discussing the topics in person. Maybe I'm just a little technologically slow.

I missed the chat because I was ill, but looking at everyones post...I wished I could have done it. Alough, as some others have said, I dont know if I could keep up with the really fast typers. I also wondered if I would have been able to make my point as well with the chat as oppose to in classs, because it might be hard to write your thoughts. In class, ideas sort of flow when you talk aloud.

I liked the chat, my only problem was following the conversation sometimes. Without physical contact it was hard to tell who i was talking with and what was going on. Sometimes it felt like text was just flying up the screen and i couldn't keep up with it. The experience was definitely fun with everyone from the other classes because I'm used to my class's opinions. We've got a very vocal class, but this was refreshing. Overall, though, I'm a fan of in-class dialogue as compared to chat rooms. Maybe with more time spent in a room like this i'd get better at it!

I found the chat to be an interesting way to talk about our readings. The only problem was that it was sometimes hard to follow and to comment on some things because of all the information people added. But overall, I think that it was a good substitute and would be willing to do it again, anytime.

I really enjoyed the small group we had and I heard some great arguments and ideas from everyone (in fact, I'd say that I heard more people's ideas in the chat than I ever did in class). Using the chat room had its rough spots, such as that it was hard to follow, but all in all, I say it went wonderfully.

I really enjoyed it! I don't have im, so this was really fun for me! And it seems by the time you get done talking, everyine is talking about something new! I am glad I get to sleep in tomorrow, but I actually enjoy our class, and the things we read! See ya and Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought the chat room was okay. I found it harder to participate, especially at first because everyone was talking and the conversation was all over the place, hard for me to follow. It was nice though to be able to go to the jennicam website as we talked about it. The slavery discussion was the best, and I was just lost with the other two because people kept jumping from one article to the next. It was a great idea and I recomend it for next year!
