About Me
- I need orange
- Helen Frankenthaler is an artist who does abstract prints. One is called "I Need Yellow." I love contrast, and I love saturated color. When choosing a blog name, I tried "iloveorange" which was taken, and then I remembered Helen and went for ineedorange.

Great photos! Love the moods they evoke.
Glad you're sticking it out in the course. Weeks 4 and 5 were killer for me. I went to the forums and found a link to online material that helped a lot--I read the whole section in the link below and did all 3 sets of exercises. They saved my bacon on Quiz 2. I got a week behind doing them, but then worked like crazy last week and got caught up. Quiz 2 took me two hours for 30 questions! But I made an 87, so I'm happy beyond belief.
I'll be interested to hear what you think of Ram's vs. Walter's style of teaching. The good news for me is that I have a whole list (coupled with my bulging notebook) of ideas for what to do and not do in my online courses this spring. It's been quite interesting.
Happy new year to you! Here's the link: http://courses.umass.edu/phil110-gmh/text/c02_3-99.pdf
P.S. Now when something seems off, I search the forums to see if others have commented or offered help. I'm never alone. ;-)

Thanks!
Glad you're sticking it out in the course.
At least for now.... I'm realizing that one of the things I don't like about this class is how many things are open for interpretation, rather than "It's this way." When my score is lower be cause the instructor pretends (or is deluded enough to believe) that "either/or" can mean "both," I find it incredibly annoying! I may do the work and drop at the very end. I'll see how I do on the quizzes.
I do think this course has a lot of valuable content, but I am not all warm and fuzzy about finding so many times when I totally disagree with his conclusions/interpretations/definitions........... I'm not going to swallow his just because he's a talking head. !!! I believe I'm right.
I don't think I'll be taking any more philosophy classes!

Good to know! Thanks for the link!
They saved my bacon on Quiz 2. I got a week behind doing them, but then worked like crazy last week and got caught up.
At present I am working on the last lecture of Week 3 (the reconstruction of Redford's paragraph). So I am seriously behind......
Quiz 2 took me two hours for 30 questions!
In Model Thinking I think I finished about one quiz in less than an hour, and it was common for them to take me 3 hours, and maybe more. I'd have flunked that class, in a traditional setting......................... And they were 15 questions or less! All that computation, and checking of same, over and over and over......
But I made an 87, so I'm happy beyond belief.
Indeed. Good job!
I'll be interested to hear what you think of Ram's vs. Walter's style of teaching.
We'll see......

And to you!

I have spent a LOT of time there, and have gotten no help. Alas. I did get help in Model Thinking, once, but mostly I find the fora are all "blah blah blah" and very little content. A vanishingly small signal-to-noise ratio..................... Too bad, but there it is.
Found your blog on the roll listed on Morning Bray Farm. Love your pictures, I lived in Ann Arbor for a while and the pictures mean a lot (now living in southern California). I'm also a quilter - currently hand-quilting a summer quilt for my daughter.
I also appreciate your sharing the link to the coursera site, and your experiences with the Think Again course.
Hope your dog is doing better with hearing issues.
Welcome, Fleur! Thank you for the visit, and, even more, for the kind words! Ann Arbor has a lot to recommend it. Now if it just had a beach.......... :-)
I haven't done anything with textiles for quite a while, and I wish I would! One of the big ugly things on my to-do list is to clear out the "sewing room" (read: "junk room") so I can actually USE it as a studio. Then I could play with fabric again.
I would love to see your work; do you have pics online anywhere?
Coursera is such a cool thing. College courses, for free, in the privacy and comfort of your own home, available to anyone with internet access..... Seriously excellent. :-)
Thank you for the kind words about the dog's ears. Sometimes we are sure he has heard us in a normal way, and other times we are sure he has not. It's hard to separate out actual progress from wishful thinking.............. Sigh.
