Hello everyone,
This is going to be the last blog post of this course and I
got some few things I’d like to say. When I was looking for a class to fulfill
the Area A2 writing requirement, I thought it was going to be one of those
boring writing classes which I dreaded every single day when I went to that
class. I always hated when the professor makes participation in class mandatory
because that requires you to raise your hand and either ask questions or answer
questions every single class period which puts a tremendous amount of strain on
a shy person like me. I am not that kind of student that participates when I am
forced to do so. Also, pop quizzes… oh my gosh how I hated pop quizzes on
readings that are so dry and boring. So I would like to thank Professor Dean
that he didn’t force people to participate in class nor did he give us any pop
quizzes. He also gave us interesting readings to read which made the class more
fun. I really enjoyed this class and I cannot have said this to any classes
that I have taken so far and believe, as a fifth year, I’ve taken a lot of
courses. This class has been a real blast and a blessing because the things I picked
up from this course can be carried throughout my life.
This blog group was a very interesting and new idea and it
gave us more of an understanding or experience of how multimedia work. I never
would have thought a writing class would allow us to learn how to use
photoshop, prezi, strip generator, gliffy, screen cast o matic, and audacity. These
tools I will definitely carry on in the future whether if it’s teaching someone
about health and fitness or teaching someone how to play a video game that I’m
interested in. It’s been fun reading all of my fellow group’s blogs and
responses. Also I enjoyed watching your prezi presentation whether its intern
sushi or making a magazine cover using photoshop or even cooking salmon. Again,
it was a fun and interesting experience and I cannot be more grateful that I actually
had the opportunity to take this class with Professor Dean.
P.S. to Professor Dean
It really made me happy that you appreciated and acknowledged
my work especially with the photoshop project. As a person who grew up with no acknowledgment
of my works, it really made me glad that you’re the first professor/teacher to
actually recognize my work and proudly asks if you can present it to other
people (which by the power in me, use my works for future students). Again, I
gladly thank you for teaching me things about multimedia and also encouraging
me to keep going and putting my talents to use.
Food For Thought...
If you had all the resources you needed and all the money you need to plan one special day for the person you like or your significant other, what would it be? Let your imagination flow and maybe someday you can make it happen if he/she is worth every second of your life.
