Linda was NOTHING like I pictured her... she seemed sooooo preachy to me. I really expected her to be this liberal, loud, fun women. I thought what she had to say was amazing and great, but while she was talking, I was trying to picture her actually doing all these things she was saying, or even the things she described in her book, and I just couldn't see it... I'm going to blame it on the fact that she was in New York right before us and we were probably totally boring compared to that group.
It was so interesting though to be almost MADE to discuss things though... in a lecture!! I've never had that happen and I think it almost worked to some point, and made us talk to people that we didn't know... creating a community within a LECTURE, which I have almost never have, besides once with Dr. Al, who is way smarter than I think I could ever be. Some of the questions really stumped me though, and it seemed like that kind of seating really didn't encourage us to talk to more than just the people next to us, and some people who sat on the end, like me, could only talk to mainly one person! I never really thought that sitting in circled tables (in groups) was a great idea, but you really can't have any discussion when you are in lecture rows like most classes have.
It was also nice to hear Dr. Webb speak of her and how much he respects her. I think one of our "own" speaking of her in such high regards really does something to a lecture hall, especially before she has even spoken.
