Definitely think of ways to make your commute productive. Certainly halt homo-reno unless it's fodder for writing. (Can you tell I'm stressing out for you.)<BR/><BR/>As for comments in class.

Several of my profs would grab onto a good comment and try to get the class to comment along those lines. In my experience class discussion makes you a better, more thorough reader. <BR/><BR/>By the way, you commented on my blog a while back, marthajane.wordpress.com.

My recommendation for class participation: offer insightful commentary that shows that you thoughtfully read the material i.e. "I was really moved by Aristotle's theory on basic constituents of manner." Otherwise, just build off of what your classmates say :) Annnd...I'm rambling!SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339250560694946176noreply@blogger.com
