Daily Post (Josh) 2010-04-07

Well, that sucked. Having been flat on my back for the better part of a week did good things for my lab score yesterday, since finding parts on the body amounts to rote memorization, but I sure proved that being sick and wonky doesn't help comprehesion! Today's A&P lecture quiz landed at an 8/15. NOT good. Fortunately, the policy here is to drop the lowest quiz score at the end of the term, but still!

Digital Media Production is turning out rather odd. The fellow teaching it has never taught before, and I'm afraid it shows - his primary method of disseminating technique is taking 2 or 3 students at a time over to the editing suite and having them peek over his shoulder as he does things. In a class of 22, that makes for a hell of a lot of down time for the rest of us, and I can't say that there's a whole lot of learning going on. Technically we've gotten our first assignment (put together a 30 second clip with a few cuts), but since there's only two editing suites, no lab time, and we don't have access to the class cameras yet..... It's going to be interesting to see exactly what gets graded over the course of the term.
