Andrew's Minute Paper 4/1

It seemed like this class pretty much nothing got accomplished. When we were split off into or respective groups, without a teacher hassling us and reminding us of the time frame of the class, we lost track of a time and ended up spending most of the class discussing the numerous potential approaches and views of a continuation future rather than simply deciding on what we were going to discuss and demonstrate to the class at the end of class in short today, and in an extended format at the end of the next class. It ended up feeling like, when crunch time came, an idea was picked at random from those we had discussed. It was nice to see that some of the groups were having, even if they didn't realize it, one of the same major issues we had had. It was commented that two of the different futures seemed to be overlapping, and proposing a similar or identical future scenario. This was one of the major issues my group seemed to be having, deciding what exactly constituted a continuation future without it become disciplined, transformational, or collapsed. I was further struck by the fact that this had been the very same problem I had had when trying to research or think up ideas over the break for the topic.
