I have attended Folsom Lake College (EDC center) for two years and Mr. Ellerman's class has been one of the most enjoyable but thought provoking classes that I have had yet. The mix of the philosophical law and everyday life made the three hours an easy time slot to fill.
The class started off in the same fashion as the questions. We learned about the science of the law in society through the metiphorical rhetoric of Plato. This wasn't the first time that I heard this story but it is one of my favorite pieces in college and I enjoyed talking about it. Also, we read the Constitution so we would be able to (as outstanding citizens of America) admit that we have read it. The second Greek word: Techne reminded me of the videos we watched about how our brains worked while corrosponding to another person. This connection played a significant role in hw we interpret the law and the well being of those around. This also led into our discussion of how we understand each others emotional feelings with brain functions like mirror neurons. Being able to connnect with other people and figuring out how to communicate effectively is an important piece in law and society. I enjoyed the drawing and explanation videos very much and I would like to promote those for the next class. The last term, metis, was revealed in our nation state game, when the group Atlantis jumped on the opportunity to recieve numerous resources from Andrew. This was a perfect example of using their " street Smarts" to their advantage. Overall, I enjoyed this class and I liked the group assignment for the most part. Having to sdjust to our members was tough at first but was worth it in the end at the celebration.
