The presentations seemed togo very well for everyone. Although I was skeptical about giving a presentation on a project not due for another week, it really did serve as an effective means of preparing us for our final submissions.<\/p>\n

However, more importantly than that, the presentations allowed us to see what types of projects other classmates were engaging in.<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that this assignment was very open ended, it allowed for people to truly personalize their own projects, and it was interesting to see what other students came up with, as there was a very diverse range of forms that people chose to take.<\/p>\n

I especially thought that Alec and Carolyn’s projects seemed very interesting. Both of them used programs that nobody else did, Alec with neat line text plot and Carolyn with podcasts. Also, their topics were truly unique as well. Alec analyzing personal love letters is very clever and can give great insight into the locations and type of communication that was being exchanged between loved ones. With Carolyn, the fact that she was able to use cookbooks was very cool because she said that cooking is one of her passions. At Davidson, very rarely are we able to engage our passions into our school work, so it was very nice to see that this project allowed Carolyn to do so.<\/p>\n

In regards to what was said Alec<\/a> said about the presentations forcing us to really get the ball rolling on our projects, I definitely agree with his logic. I also believe that the required meetings with Dr. Shrout also helped to hold us accountable for starting on our projects early.<\/p>\n
