Overview of Assignments

I had the chance to see all of the classifications of the different required assignments as well as the extra credit options that the class contains. Central to these assignments is an emphasis on effective dissemination of information. There are reading assignments for us to learn the material, storytelling assignments for us to have a chance to increase our skills, then feedback/project oriented assignments to give us the chance to see how other students are doing.

Overall, I believe this seems like a large amount of work, but not because the work itself sums to a large amount of time, rather, because it is a litany of different kinds of assignments. I'm looking forward to the class structure as a whole though because of the free form nature of the assignments. While there are set due dates for some of the assignments, they are spaced out enough for more freedom to tackle the class when one is free.

The year is well-defined and thought out, and I hope that I will learn a lot!

The Class has a lot of work at first glance, but on closer inspection, it is well-organized and partitioned. Source: MaxPixel

I had gumbo 3-4 times per week and while there are many kinds of gumbo, the best is by far chicken and sausage. Free Time: In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, running, and racquetball. Soccer is a sport I've played for the past 15-16 years, and I've played for many teams including intramural and c...

Week 5 Story: The Dog and His Toy

Once there was a dog named Kyler, and he was perhaps the best boy in the world. He could protect his owners from all sorts of perils, such as random people delivering paper, visitors that had to pass a rigorous security check, and even cleaning devices that projected so much noise that they could cover up the sound of approaching intruders. Kyler was great at his job, and every time he had done a good deed, he would be rewarded by getting to play with his favorite toy, a little plush reindeer. But Kyler also remembered what happened when he was a bad boy, his toy would be taken away. One day, Kyler was napping, paying little attention to his surroundings when he saw a movement out of the corner of his eyes. He stood up from his shady perch under the tree, and trotted over to the tree, where he saw a squirrel. The squirrel, being up to mischief, pelted an acorn at him. This brought a challenge to Kyler's territory, and he started shaking the tree in an attempt to get the squirrel ...
