Laurence Chan, Class Presentations

I was very interested in seeing the choices and methods in which my classmates tackled the class presentations. Actual student made variations of the syllabus, powerpoint presentations, and handouts helped make each presentation unique and engaging. Common ideas were taking famous texts from many different locations in the world. Books and stories like Things Fall Apart and the Chinese Legend of the Monkey King were stories I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend. A book that was recommended several times wasDon Quixote. I have never read it but now I am very curious about it and will definitely be checking it out.

Overall I felt the presentations were a great idea as it offered the rare chance of a student's perspective and suggestion. If I ever had to make my own real syllabus for class I would definitely add student presentations in it.
