Class Reflection

Although I have gotten sick a few times this semester, causing me to miss certain classes, I definitely enjoyed taking the course MEDP 150. I have enjoyed the labs more than lecture because I tend to learn more when I'm working hands-on, then sitting in a classroom listening to a professor and reading a textbook. Blogging has been a new experience for me and as the semester went on I have gotten used to it. My favorite project was our Photoshop project. I have definitely learned a lot about how to use Photoshop and loved making my stamp. However, I do wish we would have used Final Cut to teach editing. My main focus is on film and television and I definitely need to work on Final Cut more to advance my knowledge. At my previous school, Brookdale Community College in New Jersey, I learned Avid and am much better at editing when working on that. Many companies use Final Cut though, so I would like to be just as good when editing with that program. HTML was the hardest for me. There were a lot of problems I encountered that took a while to figure out and fix, such as uploading my images to fit in the space on my page. I also found the codes to be confusing and it would have been easier to make a website using Photoshop. In the end though, I was able to do it. I give people who design websites for a living a lot of credit, it definitely is not easy. The MOMA field trip was fun and I loved watching the film about the events going on in Bahrain. I do not usually enjoy documentaries, but I enjoyed watching this one very much. Not only did we get to view an amazing film, but we also learned about something going on in the world today. I know I was not aware of these events and I assume a lot of the other students did not as well. Overall, this was a great class and I look forward to taking MEDP 160 in the Fall.
