All course readings will be available on Canvas. There is no required textbook
I like the idea that we do not need to be constricted to buying a textbook. That saves some money and makes the class more obtainable to complete everything. I just struggle sometimes understanding how to do assignments on different websites.
In this course, using AI in ANY capacity is not permitted
This is good to know as sometimes I like to get prompts or ideas from AI. I utilize AI sometimes to help me start when I am stuck. Knowing this I will focus on coming up with my ideas organically.
Work which demonstrates higher quality and/or demonstrates risk-taking in considering or implementing new ideas will be awarded an A.
I do enjoy the idea of more creative work being rewarded with better grades. I feel some classes are completion based and that stinks when you put in more effort and thought compared to others. I like to focus on making my work high quality often.
Why have we been speaking, writing, and singing poems for as long as it was possible to do so?
I would like to think that we have been doing so because of the evolution of humans we naturally cling to things that describe emotions we feel. I feel that speaking, writing, and singing poems allow us to express emotions. This unlocks connection between those around us.
