The unreproducable nature of this class

Since this class is about orality, then how could anything that is done once in this class every be done the same way ever again? It can't, that's what makes this class so special.

A way to remember the muses is to make a letter map of their names. Professor Sexson told us about 2CET MUP, meaning the names begin with 2 C's, 2 E's, 2 T's, and an M, U, and P - Calliope, Clio, Erato, Eurterpe, Terpsichore, Thalia, Melpomene, Urnaia, and Polyhymnia.

Here is a Wikipedia article on the Cabinets of Curiosities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_curiosities These were apparently collections of various items of curiosity to the people of Renaissance Europe, covering such topics as history, geography, art, and many more.

Sutter Stremmel has made his house into a memory system. He showed us on the black board how he has laid out the nine muses in differnt parts of his house to remember them.

Professor Sexson passed out three books during class: The Gallery of Memory by Lina Bolzoni, The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci by Jonathan Spence, and The Alphabet Versus the Goddess by Leonard Shlain.

Tai Kersten also showed us his memory system. He used his synogog and placed stained glass windows around the room to represent the differnt muses.

Professor Sexon also told us about the 7 liberal arts in the Middle Ages. He used a letter map that spelled GGRAMAD: Geometry, Grammer, Retoric, Arithmatic, Astronomy, and Dialectic.
