Democracy Walls. These were something new to me as my freshman year had begun here at IUPUI. I think they are a good idea, but would also have to say that they are annoying. Annoying because of the constant political banter that goes on. I'm not sure how often the boards are erased and what not, but would rather see quotes from students' favorite books, movies, etc. or poems, thoughts...things like that. I grow wary of all the "Bush bashing" (Republicans v. Democrats) that goes on and wish we could use the boards to express more creativity through our thoughts on all kinds of different subjects, instead of responding to guided questions. I like the fact that the questions challenge students to think and respond, this is a good thing, but am definitely more of a fan when it comes to random literacy instead of the prompts.
