1. I didn't know a lot of the history behind what we went over in class. It was all very interesting, and I feel that she did a very good job at relating it to us, but I do always like to have a good understanding of what is being discussed. For me, the more I know about something, the better able I am to relate to it and make it meaningful. So, while it was very interesting, I kept finding myself wondering more about the stories and histories instead of always focusing on the coding methods.
2. The whole presentation was very interesting to me. I really enjoyed it, and I feel like it was definitely well prepared. I had never really even considered the usage of codes in the early church years. Also, if it was used so much then, I imagine it still is now? I laugh a bit too, because I see myself more-so as the first representative who thought that everyone would be a gentleman like he was: they wouldn't dare to read another's mail, because he would never do so himself! But this really is just naive. It's too bad it is that way and we need codes for anything other than just fun.
