Poets' Day · Week 4 · Thursday

Five groups, five arguments, six poems each. Find your group's card. Write the review in the first box and your four lines in the second, then press Save. The whole room sees what you saved.

Community board · you post as QuietFox

One photo, one true thing about you. This board is just for our class to get to know each other — it is not for AI and not part of any research, so here you are yourself, not your pseudonym.

Your photo stays inside this class board. Keep it friendly — anyone in the class can see it.
Claude and Dina comments · one deck a week

Every week Claude reads the week's texts, searches for the newest research on the topic, and writes a short slide deck with its own views, in plain language. Dina adds her comments at the end. Two more voices in the seminar, not the answer key. Read the deck after the readings, then argue with both.
