Week 4: Final Project

This week was mostly used for completing our final project and finishing up things that we were behind on. Almost everything was pushed back to Monday which was nice because I was feeling a little bit over whelmed with all that we had to do.

My final project was about the camera and how it has evolved over its life time. The camera is used in so many different ways from personal to medical uses. I talked about the history of the camera and how over one hundred years ago it took almost eight hours for a picture to be taken but now it only takes a second and you can instantly see your picture. I interviewed a friend of mine who took her love for photography and made a career out of it in broad cast journalism. She uses a camera everyday to document important moments in our society and share them with the world. I was happy that you gave us the freedom to choose what kind of genre we wanted to do for our final project. It helps us to become more creative and veer away from the normal class work.

Moving on to what I thought about the class as a whole. I really honestly enjoyed this class, I am personally someone that is more a math and science kind of person. I would rather be doing math homework then writing a paper. However in this class we talked about things that related to our day to day lives. We did a lot of dissecting of social networking sites which I thought was great because we were able to get behind the scene of that whole new craze. Learning about online dating was also a favorite of mine. I was totally against it at the beginning of this class, I thought that it was creepy and all the people on it were up to no good. Then I was able to see that a lot of older, middle aged people do have a hard time finding love and sometimes they have to take different avenues to get there. I would have to say as a whole the topics that Joyce chose were excellent.

These four weeks flew by but I feel that I have learned a lot from it. I really only have positive things to say about this class and I will definitely be referring my friends to take this class. Its was almost like a little break from the repetitive four test classes. So I would like to thank you Joyce for a wonderful four weeks. :)

Just a little something to make you smile :)
