It covers over 100 words, such as 'feign,' 'zoology,' 'stolid,' 'renegade,' 'rapport,' and 'insidious,' chosen for their relevance to both academic curricula and everyday language.

Words are introduced with definitions, used in sentences, and incorporated into short stories, helping students contextualize and understand them in narrative forms. 
  Interactive elements like questions and discussions encourage active use of the words, aiding in memorization and understanding of their nuances. The course also introduces synonyms, expanding vocabulary and highlighting subtle differences in meaning and usage, essential for effective communication and language skills. 
  The structure of the course allows revisiting vocabulary in different sessions, each time with a new approach. This repetitive, varied method solidifies understanding, enabling students to confidently use these words in academic and everyday contexts.

  Figure it Out - Essays

  Wayne Koestenbaum

  Through a collection of intimate reflections (on art, punctuation, eyeglasses, color, dreams, celebrity, corpses, porn, and translation) and assignments that encourage pleasure, attentiveness, and acts of playful making, poet, artist, critic, novelist, and performer Wayne Koestenbaum enacts twenty-six ecstatic collisions between his mind and the world. A subway passenger’s leather bracelet prompts musings on the German word for “stranger.” Montaigne leads to the memory of a fourth-grade friend’s stinky feet. Koestenbaum dreams about a handjob from John Ashbery, swims next to Nicole Kidman, reclaims Robert Rauschenberg’s squeegee, and apotheosizes Marguerite Duras as a destroyer of sentences. He directly proposes assignments to listeners: “Buy a one-dollar cactus, and start anthropomorphizing it. Call it Sabrina.” “Describe an ungenerous or unkind act you have committed.” “Find in every orgasm an encyclopedic richness...Reimagine doing the laundry as having an orgasm, and reinterpret orgasm as not a tiny experience, temporally limited, occurring in a single human body, but as an experience that somehow touches on all of human history.” Figure It Out is both a guidebook for, and the embodiment of, the practices of pleasure, attentiveness, art, and play from “one of the most original and relentlessly obsessed cultural spies writing today” (John Waters).
