There are what "B&N University" call "Discovery
Activities" at the end of each of the eight chapters, or
"lessons." These are assignments along the lines of "choose
who should play Marlowe in a modern film adaptation of a
Chandler novel," or "create your own PI character using the
Marlowe Paradigm." In other words, there for fun, not for
grades. The course isn't graded, and there is no penalty for
not completing the "activities." (Frankly, most enrollees
don't).
My sense is that quite a few enrollees simply "audit" the
course without fully participating.
I'm glad you've enrolled, and I hope you get something out of
it.
Best of luck with your dissertation. What's it on?
