Digital Media Principles

This class seems like a lot of fun! The professor already mentioned Web 2.0 technologies and elaborated more about the way Digital Media and how social networks are evolving, covering some of the basics. Ex: Second Life, DMCA, WOW, Creative Commons, Intellectual Property, Quantum Computing, Google, etc. Projects will be a majority of the class and I plan to use some of my ideas I have been working on already to count towards this class.

Computers as a Medium

Another projected oriented class that will focus on having teams of web experts, 3D Animators, graphic artists, software developers, etc. These teams will share, communicate and critic ideas and focus on promoting brand and image. Also, the professor gave out his Second Life name on the syllabus 🙂

Theater Survey Elective

This is the quintessential college professor who pushes you to think outside the box and push the limits of normality. Something I am all about. Behind this wacky professor lies a quality that is very engaging and interesting.

He stresses to stay entertaining and innovative you must never stop questioning realty. As said by Aristotle, it is all about convention and testing expectations to plant bold images in peoples minds and get them thinking differently about the world around them. He wants us to apply this ideology to our lives. And did I mention, he breathed fire in front of the class the first day?

Calculus II

Pretty straight forward stuff. Probably one of my hardest classes, but great teacher!

Computer Science I

From the teachers definition it is a mix between “Computer and Science” 🙂 It will consist of creating and implementing algorithms, binary trees, heaps, sorting, searching, recursion and more in C. The professor, a grad student getting his PHd, is hilarious and reminds me of maddox, so he is basically 133t.

As I walked into the valley of unkempt level 70’s, I predicted correctly that someone was going to make fun of me for using a mac. I didn’t know there were any Windows fanboys left… ah, their loss!

Overall Thoughts

I would say I lucked out on profs this semester. I am looking to work in some of my web projects and ideas into the classes so I can kill two birds with one stone. I am very excited to be back in school, looks like it is going to be a great semester. Good luck to everyone!
