Warning: This will be the strangest course evaluation
you’ve ever completed.
Period.
I’m feeling like Abed from Community today, so here we go. You’re going to be Taken. You must send a life-or-death
tweet describing Dr. Phill’s class to Liam Neeson hoping that
class will sound so compeling that he rescues you. What is that tweet? (140 characters
maximum). If you’re looking for money, I don’t have any. But what I do
have is a very rhetorically situated set of skills.
It’s the end of a tearjerking Dr. Phill’s Opus. You return to
Miami, years from now, to watch me retire.
What’s the one thing you never forgot from this class?
Tom Cruise has you on the stand, and he just wants to know why you didn’t do most of the readings for class. He pushes, and he pushes,
and finally you say “you can’t handle the truth!” then you spill the
beans.Spill those beans. Based on quizzes, many of you didn’t do the readings.
Why? Just be honest– I’m not looking to punish you or anything
here.
For this question, you’re a cast member on Family Guy. You’re
asked to talk about 224.
In Peter Griffin cut-away description style, describe this semester, the class, Dr. Phill’s teaching, or some mix of those
things.
*example: “224? That class was like seven times cooler than that time Bette Midler and Rick Moranis showed up to renact Weekend
at Bernie’s in my dorm room using a 2 liter bottle of Fresca as Bernie.”*
I don’t wanna be Dr. Pink.
As an instructor, what color is Dr. Phill?
(AKA Dr. If This was Reservoir Dogs Phill)
Why? *remember that we learned color theory*
Imagine that college is a Thrift Shop. You and your pal
Macklemore (and sure, Ryan Lewis, too) are digging, and
you find our class.What item represents this
class, and why?
Imagine for a moment class is a bad horror movie. You receive
the cryptic warning “I know what you did this semester.”
What was the most relevant, important, or mind-boggling
thing you did this semester? Why do you think so?
*and why does the Gorton’s Fishmerman want to kill you for it?*
HBO is on the phone. They want to create an original show based on this class. They told me no dragons, so you have to go another route…
Cast someone to play Dr. Phill, and explain:1.Why the casting choice2.What the tone of the show would be (you can compare it to existing programs if you wish)3.What the plot of the pilot episode would be4.Why.
We know the first rule of DigiRhet Club is to NOT talk about DigiRhet club. But you
have a new recruit.
How do you invite the new recruit, and on her first night, what does she “have” to do?
At the end of the Sixth Sense, it turns out Bruce Willis was dead , and once you go back and watch it again, you never see the movie the same way, because now you KNOW.
What do you KNOW about digital rhetoric now that will mean that you never see the movie (your education) the same way?
