I honestly have not had problems with Blackboard. I print out and turn in my worksheets in class, and I email the paper in addition to submitting it to the Drop Box. I cannot give any input on how to improve it.
One political issue I am interested in discussing this quarter is the treatment of American soldiers and veterans of the Iraqi war. I do not think this class has really discussed the military in great depth. I am sure the themes brought up in the movie Stop Loss will lead to some debates in class. I am curious to see what discussions will arise from Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo, since Harold and Kumar movies are considered some what lowbrow.
Here are some movies that might be a nice addition to the class, and if nothing else they are nice recommendations. The first is Black Book, a German film about a Jewish woman working with the resistance. The second is Saving Private Ryan which I am sure most people have already seen. This film is perhaps the most realistic representation of D-day. The third recommendation is The Last King of Scotland, another highly regarded film about the physician of a Ugandan dictator. This film’s theme is very similar to that of Good.

We will be discussing the treatment of soldiers when we discuss stop loss. I saw Black Book and really thought it was wonderful. I also loved Last King of Scotland. Goo suggestions.
