text: I do not believe the use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable for detecting students' emotional expressions. It has better uses, such as for close examinations of artwork, research, and statistics. I feel as if students do not need a system to "de-code" our emotions, as students are typically able to fully express theirs on their own. Although it may be difficult to detect certain emotions of a student and encourage them to fully express them, I feel it is necessary to keep it that way, in respect for the student. The text reads, "classified six basic emotionshappiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness" which I firmly believe is not useful, nor valuable. Typically, those six basic emotions are easiIy detected by humans and do not require a computer system. I do not believe a computer software system should determine students' emotions, let alone any humans', unless they would personally like to use it. I think of the Facial Action Coding System as more or a toy, if it is used to detect human's expressions rather than an educational material's expressions, such as a piece of artwork.
