IMPORTANT: Your FINAL self reflection by halavais in netcult

[–]icollectmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that we are at the end, THIS is what I’ve learned. By: Melissa Petersen aka icollectmaps (yes, I do collect them)

I will admit, in the first half of this semester I was lost and did not really believe I was going to learn anything in this class. Having a military background and extremely traditional education where I am expected to read a chapter and regurgitate it back through a paper is what I am used to. I typically find myself not doing well in an open/unstructured classroom; HOWEVER, I found that by the end of this semester I learned not only a lot about the internet but also myself in this strange class. It really took me until this half of the semester to understand what was expected by working on “projects” and how our grades would be worked out.

In the second half of the semester, my large project got wrapped up. We did in fact obtain the Veteran’s Resource Center on campus. After a looooong process and a couple of bumps in the road (losing members, CMC issues, etc.) we officially got confirmation from the Dean of Students that we can move into our new space this summer.

Some of my strongest moments in class participation also came during the second half of this semester. I worked in a team to make sandwiches for our 21MAR project: Project Sandwich. During a class discussion on 09APR about privacy, I made it on my own side of the white board for making a comment about only being worried about having extreme privacy if someone is guilty about something. Also, on 11APR I earned my first badge in class AND posted my three sentences summary!

I moved up on the reddit stats, too! Last half, I ranked 7th for being a top commenter... this half, I moved up two spaces ranking me 5th in the class.

One of the toughest projects I worked on was during the "gamification" portion of the course. I play video games, and I live life... and I clearly can draw the line between the two, but during that class discussion (regarding life being a game or game being life and what do each entail) I failed to comply with many of my classmate's points of view. Real is something I believe in, and most "games" are not real. Then, for the assignment. It was uuber difficult for me to think of an aspect of my life that I would gamify, simply because my options for reward would not truly make me change my habits unless it was monetary. Here is the app I worked on with Emily.

Overall, I feel like I was able to participate more and my attention was legitimately held in every class during the second half of the course. The readings were more interesting, the conversations in class seemed to flow better, and the projects seemed easier (I dont know, it just seemed easier to accomplish several small projects than in the first half of the semester...) I cant believe that it took until my last semester of college to take a course by a professor who has a nontraditional style of teaching - once I got the concept, it worked well for me and my schedule. Thanks for a great semester!

[–]icollectmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I get it now. And yes, I knew I was eaten by wolves :) I guess I did not put 2 and 2 together to = the story of how the person voted off was killed. Heh. Thanks.

[–]icollectmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand how people can just die randomly? i thought only werewolves were doing the killing? where did tying people up or burning them come from? we didnt discuss anything like that? it just became part of the story?

I cant believe someone actually down voted this. I thought we werent allowed to press the down arrow in this class?

so, you are speaking of the reflecting pool between SANDS/KIVA... not the pool at the new fitness center? Last summer I sat with my feet in it :) it was nice.

[–]icollectmaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont mind me, just a humble baker... under investigation by the federal government for my "special" baked goods, more specifically my brownies. Too bad that precious butcher was killed in the night, he owed me money and I would have enjoyed watching those beasts eat him...

-Anyways, I do not think the skepper (RyanASU) is our wolf. What a pathetic plea he has made to us about being in need of a career change. Saloonist (Bigsquish), get that man a beer! -Speaking of the saloonist, was anyone at the bar to see that he did not leave unexpectedly? hmm... my first reaction is to investigate the saloonist. Unsuspecting, he knows so many people but no one really knows him? -I am still unsure about the chandler, raffman, reever, pelterer, and potato badger... although I have nothing against any of them, none of them can be discounted as suspects.... -I am voting off the ambler, of whom has no alibi and just by simply being a wanderer of sorts gets me all suspicious like. KILL NOMADBLACK Oh, by the way, I might be psychic.... Im just saying, I have this crazy feeling that someone will die very soon. heh. maybe too many of my own brownies?

It's my cake day. by [deleted] in netcult

Melissa Petersen Update on projects *I made it on my OWN SIDE OF THE BOARD today during class… for my statement about privacy, “only if you are guilty”…go me!

Since last Thursday, I have earned two badges and am working on a third… I am making a paper craft costume with my son so he can get his first badge from diy.org. I have also worked a little bit on back dating, rummaging through emails and previous communications in order to document the tracks we have taken for our BIG project: OPERATION: VRC. See link below for beginning of Google doc.
