Hugemassive Discussion Review Thing

I guess this is my discussion review post. It may be a little late, but it's here.

So discussion in our class didn't usually take up the whole time. At the start of class, discussions seemed to be a little more focused on the material that we were reading. We talked a little bit about the books, then lost focus on some random stuff that was brought up. Of the two days of class we had each week, it seemed like about a total of one was actually used for class related discussion and the other half was whatever happened to us the day before or what is going to happen that weekend. Most of the time, it also involved only three or four people. This probably had a lot to do with a lot of people not really caring to share what kinds of plans they were making for the weekend. Discussion often felt like it was just tryong to waste time so that the class would take up all of its scheduled fifty minutes. When it did focus on the class material, it was usually pretty good. People did bring up specific examples out of the book and sometimes even managed to bring up examples out of their own family history. I thought that was kind of neat. That's really about it for the year long discussion review. That pretty much a vague discription of exactly how discussion went this semester.
