Claudia and I discussed some of her confusions with the course and addressed a few of the questions that she had regarding our readings from the week. We mainly discussed politeness and how it can become a precursor for the disconnect between what we feel and what we say. We acknowledged that particular conversational patterns can be detrimental to dialogue and so we agreed to remain aware of these patterns during our future calls.
Claudia is in her final semester and so has quite a bit on her plate this year. We discussed the goals we have for this course and what we plan to do after our time at UMB. Unfortunately our call was cut short due to technological problems with our Skype connection. In our future calls I hope to work out these kinks and maximize our time together. Claudia is a very bright individual and I look forward to learning more about her in the coming weeks.
