#school habits

I think my favorite thing about bringing the whole "raising your hand to speak" thing from school into adulthood is...people actually respect it?? Like EVERY time I've been in any professional or unprofessional setting and have raised my hand because I have something to say and don't want to be impolite, I will be given the floor to speak and nobody will interrupt me.

My Class Processes

The processes that I go through to complete my homework for my Computers for Artist class is quite difficult. What I do is begin to understand what the assignment is about when it is presented to us in class. Once I understand it, I will start working on it as soon as I get back to my room after class.

  In my Computer for Artist class my professor has the class post all of our homework onto a blog. The blog can be created on any blogging website in the design of our choice. All we have to include is an “About Me” page. We can add anything else as long as it has to do with the class. I chose to make my on Tumblr since I have plenty of experience with making blogs on that website. It did not take me long to create my blog since Tumblr has a lot of simple templates to choose from to get you started. Most people just open their computer up and begin typing their assignment with whatever comes to mind. Instead, I like to write everything out on paper to get all of my ideas together. I will usually use three to four sheets of paper when writing everything. Doing that will usually get me up to at seven hundred word count. I noticed after my fifth blog entry if I use over two sheets of paper full of writing it will be at the required word count for the assignment. A lot of my class mates ask me how I am able to provide information on the chosen topic for homework and get up to a five-hundred word count (The word count requirements is a 500 word minimum and 1000 word maximum). My advice to them was 1.) Go into detail about everything, 2.) Do not leave any information out, and 3.) Give multiple views on the topic if necessary. I believe out professor gives is such a high word on a short topic so that we can exercise our thinking skills. Getting back on topic… Once I have written my post out completely I will type it up on the computer. After I type up my blog post on Microsoft Word, I will save it on file to my computer so that I can have an extra copy of the post. My professor like to stress backing up our work into multiple places. Of course, after I have typed and saved my assignment I will post it onto my class blog. Sometimes I will add images if I think it will aid my post in any way or make it look more interesting.

  What I usually do while I am in class is listen to my professor give lectures on computer knowledge, brain storming ideas and so on. I will also takes note on whatever she has written on the board or any important notes she has written. If I have enough time I will begin to start any homework we have just to try to get ahead to lower my work load for the week.

To me, this class is only as difficult as you make it. As long as you follow directions, do your homework correctly, and do it on time this class should be a breeze.
