I am becoming more and more frustrated with my Art History instructor. I have emailed him and posted a forum discussion about a problem I am having with the course. The particular problem is that the instructor has not released the full details of quizzes once they are complete. In a standard classroom course, once […]
I have now added the Associate of Fine Arts to my program at Gaston College. I don’t know if this will lead to a BFA, or not, but its at least a start and I am admitting that Art is an interest I have.
Presently I have classes that feel a bit like they are in very different conditions. I am feeling very good about American History 1, Art History II, and Ceramics Studio. I am feeling more shaky with Intro to Literature as well as Sculpture. Literature is a bit misguided and in Sculpture I am just not […]
I thought my C# course was going pretty well, being self-paced and with minimal assignments to work towards. Yesterday there was an email sent from the instructor, apparently now we have a load of stuff to do through the Microsoft IT Academy, woohoo! I remember Microsoft IT Academy from when I had to use it […]
ART115 – Art History II – Got through the first module with no problems. I got an 80 on the quiz, but got 100 on both of the discussion assignments, so I’m happy for that. It seems like it is going to be a very fun course. I am still learning how to prepare for […]
http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/09/open-source-tex.html While the idea is founded in solid ideas and overall good marketing, there is one factor being missed here, departmental textbook adoption. Colleges get a lot of "incentives" from publishers to use texts, often in the form of additional "resources", such as classroom aids and instructional equipment. In some cases, schools even get paid […]
What would a person do with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Humanities? I’ve been looking at the degree from UNC-Greensboro because it seems interesting, but I can’t really see it being useful. Anyone have any ideas on jobs where this could be a useful degree? http://web.uncg.edu/dcl/web/bls/default.asp
This evening I was reviewing the syllabus for my literature course, trying to get an idea about due dates and what type of work load I should be prepared for. When I opened the syllabus, I looked for the "Evaluation" section, the standard place for finding such information. I found no such section of the […]
I just took my first attempt at the first quiz in American History. It didn’t take me long, about 25 minutes for 20 questions (out of 30 minutes allowed). I was a little uncertain about it going in, but I did relatively well. I don’t really love history, but don’t hate it either. I got […]
A quick email to Dr. Dellinger this morning fixed all of my problems. Proper forms are on file with the registrar to recognize my HIS-131 as "in progress", and Dr. Dellinger defended my change of course for the literature course to the registrar.
