Confused!
I just finished reading chapter two for this weeks class and let me tell you I am completely confused! All these phone and ology words plus the rules, my head is absolutely spinning. I hope class Wed. will clear all of this up! I did like the part in chapter one that talks about animals understanding language. I think they do to a certain extent because when I talk to my poodle she will respond to certain things I say. Although, I also believe that some of their behavior is learned too because they get positive reinforcement and/or treats when they have completed an ask for task. Just something to think about. See you in class Wed.

I HATE the part in the book that tries to use the analogy of programing a computer. Honestly, I think that is just about STUPID. Ok, now how unprofessional and blunt was THAT! I am THRILLED that you did read the book - though - and we will talk about not thoroughly understanding what we read is a GREAT lesson for the field in which we are working.
Did you play the phoneme game by clicking on the link here on the blog - link to the right? What about clicking around for 10 minutes or so in the weekly resources in Blackboard. Clarify or muddy the waters?
I promise you'll feel BRILLIANT :) after tomorrow night's class!
