Technology in the Class

This class uses a wide array of different technologies to assist students- far more than just Canvas. I actually am very excited about this because up until now (my former blog posts as evidence), my main excitement of the class was learning Indian Epics; however, with the emphasis on modular technology skills as well, there will be a more lasting impact. As an engineering major, we are told that if we have the free time, we should pick up computer science skills, such as programming, or online design skills. The issue is, with such a packed semester, it can be hard to add in different classes. Though I had the free time, I chose to add math instead of CS. With this class, I do not expect to gain an in-depth knowledge of programming nor website design, but rather, an introduction to basic image manipulation or website design to allow me to further skills later if I wish.

An edited statement- Looking forward to learning about Indian Epics and more about technology in the classroom!

There are many things to learn in this class, far more than I would have thought at first glance. Source: Pixabay

Introduction: Getting to know Me

My name is Sean, and I am double majoring in chemical engineering and mathematics. I enjoy mathematics and computations, and the engineering program marries these two very well, while the mathematics program introduces a theoretical side. I hope to learn enough about mathematical modeling and refinery operations to become a financial forecaster for crude training. Favorite Foods: My favorite food of all time is the szechuan chicken with hot chile oil from a restaurant in my hometown called Szechuans. But other great foods include: gumbo, steak, and kettle chips. I had the chance to intern at ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where I consumed a large amount of cajun food. 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 ...
