demands of the class

Last week in our Thursday evening session, I asked students to identify the three points most needed in the next few weeks: the direction that the substance of the course should take.

here are the responses:

Final working definition of PACS
moving beyond defining PACS
more class dialog/discussion [sic.]

have more: examples, clear explanations --- other than that, I like how the class operates [this writer reports].

make a handout of a loose definition of the categories [PACS]
the discussions in class are good
perhaps a few hands-on demonstrations? [I'm sorry, hands-on demonstrations in philosophy have been forbidden since that whole ugly dinner-party scene with Alcibiades and Socrates -- MEA]

More class wide discussions
going back and forth conversations

finish compiling class definitions -- particularly for Craft
since this is a working thery, what [do] you have in mind as the research part of the research paper -- what kind of sources?
an agreed-upon model of the relationship between P, A, C, & S

more on top of blogs (so we feel like [we're] not wasting time)
more in-depth look at outline activities
maybe a bit more structure? if it works out

perhaps more examples of relationship/ presence of PACS in certain actions?
perhaps talk more about PACS and the "Outer/inner world" and/or self?
perhaps just go over characteristics/ definitions of PACS more?

Everything is going fine.

looking at actions and discussing why they are PACS
going over definitions
review

I like the blogs because we can reflect on class discussions
still confused on definitions of PCAS

I guess we should all have good understanding of what you want us to know about the terms philosophy, art, craft, and science.

Dissecting human actions in class via the PACS relationships
Blog feedback online or in class the more the better; helps me be prepared for class discussion

I could use a little more direction with the essay
more detailed descriptions of philosophy, art, craft, science -- how human actions break up into those categories
how to work through a question/subject, how to come to a point when enough is enough, if there is a moment

definitions for the paper -- I feel as though everything is too vague when I am writing
analysis of handout on text book definitions for test
define more what self and outer world are

It seems to me that the major points are the need for fully defining the situations of philosophy, art, craft, science and their relationships and a consideration of the relationship between PACS and the outer world/inner world. The other points given are all well worth acting upon; yet I will place my special emphasis on definitions and the position of PACS in the world.
