3/15/14 Final Blog Post =[

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.
