You'd think that this assignment was one done in college, but you'd be wrong! One needs look no further than the cringe inducing stick figures to figure out that this is a precursor to Exercise #4 in EDPX-2100-1! Oh and of "Shattered." Interestingly enough though, this was before COVID-19, and yet, it foretold isolation coupled with the other ails of that time...which means—you guessed it—I am a soothsayer! Well...not really, but my inclination towards neuroticism leads me to go right more often then I go left, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, the piece itself was made using PowerPoint, royalty free things on the internet, and my custom hand drawn stick figures.
My coding class was titled EDPX-2100-1 and was taught by Kate Hollenbach. Within EDPX-2100-1 there were many assignments and many times I wished I had a rubber duck to vent to about my code not working. Alas, during the course of the course I did not recall that I had a whole slew of rubber ducks from my swimming days in my bathroom. A pity.
Either way, I dipped my feet into the depths of Javascript. Did I learn any other coding languages? No. Do I remember much of coding now? Not really. Did I actually manage to make things that didn't break? Yes, I code not believe it either.
My criminology class was titled SOCI-2250-1 and was taught by Jeffrey Lin. Said class was one of my favorite classes on account of the professor and their performance during COVID-19. Some examples are: at the start of lectures he would engage the class by dressing up and performing a skit, the assignments were pertinent as well as few and far between, and the quizzes were a breeze.
All that being said though, I have a confession to make. There was a text book that came with the class. I did not open it once and still got an A. I know, I know, lock me up. But I'll do it again! The recidivism rates will be sky high and I'll be back on the streets with all my criminal buddies! Bwahahahawahahahaa!
"Fear of Space" is a research essay written for WRIT-1633-1, The Question as Quest, which was taught by David Riche. Is it just about outer space? No, it's not just about outer space, but about inter space and the normal space too! So, why be afraid of space? Simple. There's literally everything in space, no matter how whack and far!
My science requirement was done at ACC, via a two semester long escapade of Geography & Climate. Of that time I only have my lab book, my notes, and my final project. The lab book is somewhere in my closet, my notes are there too, and my final project's resting place is here. Now, let me be clear 🫧
"Hidden Prison" is a creative piece written for WRIT-1622, Rhetoric and Academic Writing, which was taught by David Riche. The title of my persuasive text is “Hidden Prison,” a short story which is about a character stuck inside the bounds of a decaying narrative.
My mathematics requirement was fulfilled by MATH-1200-16/17, Calculus - Business & Social Science, which was taught by Thomas French. Now I don't want to rat out my group mates for this assignment, but the group discussion may or may not have been a solo discussion. In other words, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a solo discussion. What I will say is this: does everyone see that .pdf? Because I will not be doing it again.
Merchants, Monks, & Monsters—HIST-1370-1—fulfilled my history requirement and was taught by Daniel Melleno. Now as you will see from what I posted here, one does not simply fulfill their history requirement. Quizzes, discussion posts, and more are included, but there was a lot more which I did not decide to include.
Interestingly enough, it seems I did a descent job in this class, so much so that the professor asked if I was interested in adding a History major to my degree. I was flattered, but due a myriad of reasons—like for example people not replying to my posts—I decided against doing so.
On another note, my father—who is also a teacher—mentions this lack of replying to my posts in his classes, and as a result forces every student to reply to every other student's posts. I hear that this requirement is not a hit with a lot of the students and that, as a result, they curse my name. Maybe that's why I have been sneezing more frequently.
Philosophy of Technology, PHIL-2555-1, was taught by Jared Kenrick Nieft. What can I say about it? Well, it was a philosophy class the land of I don't think that word means what you think it means. In other words, I see says the blind man to the deaf dog as he picked up his hammer and saw.
Oh, also I wasn't allowed to use quotes when writing in this class—and I had yet to master certain referents but that's tangential. Back to the main point, can you believe it? No quotes. No wonder the essays were so short.
"Nightfall" is a board game that was made in FSEM-1111-40—Tabletop Games: History, Theory, Design—which was taught by David Riche. It was the first game I ever created, but it certainly was not the last. Within "Nightfall" players build their empires in the day and destroy others' in the night. The game is over when a personal objective is achieved or via voting after a certain number of rounds. Even players that were presumably fully destroyed get to vote, so you could say that their death was greatly exaggerated.
My language requirement for college was done at ACC, via a two semester long escapade of Spanish. Interestingly enough, I have taken introductory Spanish three times, once in middle school, once in high school, and once at the aforementioned community college. To add onto this redundancy, I also took introductory French in high school.
Do I remember how to fluently speak in either language? Non. Y como resultado, there's nothing we can do.
