RECAP:
Today in class we did a second exam! Yet again, it wasn't a typical in-class test. We weren't even in the classroom and we met outside of the College Center. We all negotiated and "flipped a coin" to decide how many pictures and videos we would have to take. After some deliberating, Doc gave us around a half hour to take pictures and videos around campus of "sight, sound, and motion." We each were assigned to take five pictures and two videos, and those without cameras were told to tag along with someone that did have one. It was fun to be able to go about on my own and choose what images I wanted to take. I took pictures that I thought would be ideal to analyze in "vulcan style." Next, we all talked about upcoming classes and events. Next class Doc decided that it would be outside again which is awesome! He asked us to bring as many friends as possible to class so we can teach them about sight, sound, and motion. Hopefully I can get some of my friends to agree! We also talked about going to a LIVE baseball game (Orioles?!?) to witness sight, sound, and motion. Nothing was ever finalized but I'm definitely crossing my fingers that it works out!
Today I learned a lot about how to brainstorm my class reflections and improve my writing. Doc stated that we have improved since the first reflection we have ever done in this class and it's relieving to hear that. He also posted in the "Doc" section of the Facebook group about how to elongate reflection posts so I have been referring to that as well.
During Doc's court trials I learned more about how sight, sound, and motion was used to conduct his trials. The video camera he uses is not just for decoration but it preserves the sight, sound, and motion. It's also helpful to see what other student's are doing in class and out of class for the homework because it serves as an example of what I need to live up to.
Although my team Shine didn't exactly work together, we all recorded videos and took pictures that we will be able to share with each other. We all put our best effort into these pictures and videos to ensure all of us will get the best images for our homework. Although we weren't doing the assignment together, in the end we will end up helping out each other.
Today I feel that I was very productive and took pictures that will really make my homework stand out. They are colorful and detailed which will make the vulcanized analysis interesting and educational. I really put a lot of thought into each picture.
The assignment today as a whole was productive as well and the class was enthusiastic and worked well together. Doc Chris also was very enthusiastic and encouraged us along the way which was very helpful! It was a very interesting class because we were able to do hands-on activities rather than sitting behind a computer and reading out of a text book.
Next time, I can't wait to be outside again!
