Not really related to the assignment but an interesting observation….

Its pretty interesting that only females completed the assignment first. This really reminds me of the article that we read from Tanner last week. It does mention how females are not objective in class. In addition, it mentions that men participate the most during class. So from this observation, where is that extra energy from the females most allocated towards? Perhaps actually completing what there suppose to do, or participating the most outside of class where the “Macho-ness” is less acclaimed…instead of battling teachers and voicing over each opinions. I don’t have enough evidence to draw any deep hypotheses but its worth observing. Tell me what you guys think.

I posted my response right before the deadline so I can’t say I agree, but that’s a pretty interesting observation.

Yes I do agree that it was likely females would complete this assignment first. They are more organized and like to complete things in a timely manner. To us as long as we get it done we are fine with it. Females have more of an image issue, they don’t want to stand out so they complete things when they are asked instead of looking like the odd person out. Also yes Tannen was right about how females put more effort into non challenging things such as homework than class discussions. These are all my opinions.
