To be honest, I think this course is a bit difficult for me, as Wesley has introduced many new theories and ideas. Though some of the concepts are somehow not easy to understand, I think it is pretty interesting and worth learning. I especially enjoy the lessons about cyborgs, I have never studied and considered this “stuff” so seriously, those scholars’ ideas and examples towards cyborgs were quite new to me. Before attending this course, I thought cyborgs were robots with human appearance. During the lectures, I was told that a person with glasses or often with her computer can also be regarded as cyborgs, but I still insist my old idea at this moment, which cyborgs should something like robots with human appearance (maybe I have watched too much terminators^^), I don’t really think (or can’t accept) I am a cyborg.
Besides, I think the weblogs are quite convenient and useful, I can read others webliography just sitting in front of my computer. Moreover, the readings of this unit are rather puzzling, thus, it is nice that I can have a look of the readings outlines written by my classmates, this helps me to understand the readings more easily. Overall, I think this course is “new” and worth attending (truly from my heart).
