Bodin, Blackboard




Fortunately, I have not experienced too many problem with blackboard. My only concerns are with submitting papers. I was unaware you could also save papers on blackboard, and instead of actually submitting my paper, i just saved it. So maybe that is my own fault for not understanding the system, and not blackboard's fault. Other than the problems with submitting papers I have not had trouble with videos or other aspects of blackboard. One thing I would change about blackboard would be to somehow connect it with our loyola email. Because sometimes, for example, when class is cancelled, some teachers post it on blackboard or some send an email. It gets time consuming waiting for blackboard to load, so it would be nice if your email could send you a message of what has been posted on blackboard.

Personally, I don't have any problems with the class. I enjoy the class discussions about he films. The movies we watch are definitely movies I would not have chosen to go see just because they are very heavy. I guess I enjoy "mind-less TV" because I rarely watch movies that are centered around such heated world issues. But, nonetheless, the films are very enlightening. The topics we should discuss with Stop-Loss involve the military's decision to re-enlist its soldiers and how the policy is still in effect today.

  1. I hope that we will be able to keep a copy of the film that we are going to see on Thursday; it deals specifically with policies such as stop loss.
