(Someone has already posted with the same title, so we will have to get group numbers sorted out.)
As a group in class we spent a lot of time talking about the structure of the test. It seems everyone is unhappy with the delivery and results. First, we decided that it should have been written by a group of people with various views, instead of one person with obviously atheist views. Secondly, we agreed that although JMH was trying to be broad on the topics, she ended up being extremely specific, and there for missed her goal. And thirdly we all agreed that instead of two (or three if it counts) possible answers, having a wider range of possible answers in a scaling format: 1-5, based on how strongly one believes _______. We felt like the options given to us, prevented us from diving into great detail with in our conversations because there just wasn't much to talk about. It was either yes or no and that was it.
We came up with a couple questions: Do we believe the test defines us? and What was the purpose of the test?
For confusion purposes, our group meets in the JUB at 2:20 MW. We sat in the back and center of the class room. I don't know who the other group 3 is. :? We are the REAL one!!
Doubt is a good guy. What was our question for next time?
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely clear that JMH is an atheist, just by reading the questions she asked in the doubt quiz. I feel like in order to conduct a quiz like this the questions need to not be so obviously biased and really thought out by a group of people with different beliefs and backgrounds. But, to give her the benefit of the doubt, I belief she accomplished what she wanted through this quiz just by getting the reader to really think about some of these issues. The average person does not spend much time analyzing the universe and what might make it up. In that aspect I feel she did what she wanted and simply ignited the match in some of us who had never thought about that before.
