I’m not sure if we are supposed to do a follow up blog for this week or not. Its not in the grade book in Schoology, but I like to blog and reflect and find it helpful, so I will do it anyways. Even though we really looked at a lot of stuff other than this weeks reading in class.

It was interesting to me how different people came away with different take-aways from different articles. I also saw how you really better know your stuff before making a statement about something you assume. There was quite the lively discussion that ensued after the need for promoting women in Science and engineering was questioned. I think that gender disparity is well documented in the literature, but many other students made a much better case than I could. So the lesson there – know your literature.

Of course, I have always agreed with that, but I have seen from this class how much of literature I don’t know about. Guess that is why I need to get my Ph.D. 🙂

But, other than that, still no revelations on the Bernstein stuff that I did not understand  Just not much time to dig into that as I try to get papers revised and turned in (and harass my review partner to finally get me the last two of my reviews and papers of his for me to review).
