I think weblog is an effective platform for learning purposes. First of all, the introduction of classmates provides a good chance for me to know more about them. Second, the outline and summary posted by my classmates before each tutorial class is useful for us to get the general idea of required readings. It is easy for us to catch the main idea of readings. As we have only 1 hour for tutorial class, so weblog is a good place for us to further discuss our opinions anywhere, anytime. Third, the Critical Annotated Webliography, I think it is good for us to read other classmates’ work and leave comment to them. For me, I can improve my work from reading comments which posted by my classmates. So, using weblog is a beneficial way for learning purposes.
It is interesting to learn the concept of cyborg from this unit. At the beginning, I felt confused about the concept of cyborg, because I thought cyborgs are robots, but not human. However, during the lectures, I found that people wearing glasses or contact lens, having plastic surgery can be regarded as cyborgs. In my opinion, I think those cloning human; people putting technical material into their body part are cyborgs. For me, in a world where I can’t live without technologies, I believe I am a cyborg.
Overall, I like this course, as it introduced many new concepts for me. Wesley always mentioned, traditionally, women are not expected to relating with technology or science. But today, the world is changing, many women like playing computer games and buying high-tech products.
In fact, I really appreciate that Wesley is always well prepared for the classes and provided some local examples to illustrate concepts, because some ideas from readings are abstract and hardly to understand.
