Regarding our class activities

You will be asked to engage in a number of in-class and between-class assignments regarding your ideas, thoughts, feelings, reactions, beliefs regarding the topics we will be considering in our class.

Some of this material might be of a personal nature. Since these activities are a class requirement (They generate points that affect your grade) and since I (and the G.A.) will be looking at your responses: we (you and I) will have this understanding–you may lie in your responses. Feel free to make up, omit, confabulate, or distort any personal information to you would find embarrassing, distressful to discuss, or for any reason do not wish to share. You can be truthful at some points and not at others–only you will know. You can alter any details you relate of your life, history, feelings, attitudes, or behavior. In general you might wish to do this little and selectively–many of the assignments may more productive if you are using genuine information–but it is entirely up to you. I will not know and have no need to know: the purpose of these activities is usually served in the process, not the content.
