These are only a few from among those willing to let me share their work with the wider class. (Yes, we zoomed it!) There were plenty of others, including powerful stories and essays and some truly remarkable work in sound. It's amazing and humbling that students put so much thought and effort and feeling into a class which was outside their majors - and put such work into final projects in a semester when everyone's guaranteed an A or A-. But of cours this is also the semester things came apart at the seams; the Book of Job witnessed it with us.
