STRANGE PIECES OF PARADISE: THE MEANING OF IT ALL (BOOK DISCUSSION) 

Taught by: Cole Vans 

What does the culture of violence against women look like in America? This course will utilize 

Terri Jentz’s novel, Strange Piece of Paradise, to examine just that. This course will take the form 

of a book discussion group with a critical analysis bent. Her compelling read is nothing short of 

a masterpiece of language, storytelling, and the revelation of what happens to women within 

communities unable to express what they see and hear. Fear has a stronghold on many a voice, 

and the author of this book captures that concept very well. Please join in this open discussion to 

better see what goes on across this great country, and even still, against the feminine.

UGotClass self-paced online courses 

about online learning 

Online learning is a fun, enjoyable and very productive way to learn. Millions of 

people are learning online each year. You will engage with the instructor and 

other participants. You will get to know your instructor and other participants. You 

may make friends. It’s easy. It’s fun. 

PARTICIPATE WHEN YOU WANT 

• You can participate any time of day or evening. The online classroom is open 

24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

• There are no live real-time requirements or meetings. You decide when you 

participate. 

• For the best learning, participants should log into the course on 2-3 different 

days of the week. 

WHAT YOU WILL DO 

For each unit, you will: 

• Access the online readings 

• Listen to the audio presentation for the Unit and view the slides 

• Take a self-quiz to see how much you have learned 

• Engage in written online discussion with your instructor and other 

participants 

For best learning, you should make one or more comments at 2-3 different times 

each day. The content (readings, audio lectures, slides) and self-quizzes are 

accessible for the entire course, so you can work ahead, or go back and review 

again, at your convenience. 

REQUIREMENTS 

To successfully complete courses, you should do the following: 

• Make at least one comment every week in the discussion. The comment 

should show thought and be more substantive than just “Yes, I agree.” There 

is no length required for comments. Replies to other comments, responses 

to other participants, count as comments (in most cases your instructor 

values replies and responses as comments). Questions and online discussion 

facilitative comments also count as well as long as there is some thought to 

them. 

• Take every Unit self-quiz for the course and get at least an 80% score. You 

may retake any self-quiz as often as you need to get to the 80% level.

experience‒including experience writing questions for these same tests!
