Evaluation of the Faculty Presentations

Bob

I know that I may be biased when I say that Bob had my favorite presentation from the three since he is my professor. I thought it was interesting to see all of the of the game experiences he has had over the years. His experience in the field has been interesting. From Barbie to the Bible Game, Bob has done a lot in the video game industry.

Alex

I liked how Alex took inspiration from her children for her work. She thought that something like having children would be a hindrance to her, but it inspired her later work. I am glad to see that her children mean a lot to her and her work. It is amazing to see where people are able to draw inspiration from.

Joe

Joe’s presentation was surprisingly fascinating. Instead of reflecting on several photos at a time, he showed work that he has been in the making for years. He had a wide range of pictures dating back to the late 90s. I am not a photographer myself, but that must be plenty of dedication just to see this project through.

My Fall Semester of Freshman Year

This new journey into college has been fair to me. There really a few moments where I thought that something was hard, but it was mostly a lot of work. I have found this semester to help me with planning my schedule ahead of time. When I get an assignment, I already of an idea of when I should take the time to work on it. This will prepare for the next semester.

The Seminar in Visual Studies was just fine for me. Most of the time, I was not really that engaged in the presentations shown. I did find some presentations to be interesting though. I think it is just my personal preferences that got in the way. The class was only on Fridays for one hour, so I do not have much room to complain. It was an interesting concept to bring all these different yet similar majors together, but it could have been better. If I had to mention something positive about the class, I do like the idea of having blogs. It gives us the chance to be able to be more expressive in a class with a little less than a hundred people.

Overall, this year was just an opportunity for me to see how I would fare in college. I went to a prep school, but they did not give me a good idea of what college would really be like. I have done better than I thought I would have this semester. It is hard to say that I am nearly finished with my first semester of college. I feel like I barely just started this semester yesterday.
