Weekly Blog 1

This week was my first week of classes as a Junior in college.  I got a brief introduction to what my classes are going to be like, and I have a general idea of which classes I will probably struggle in.

So far, I think my special topics film history class is my most interesting, as I am really interested in cinema.  My Data Structures and Algorithms 2 class seems like it is going to be the most difficult because my professor assigns a lot of work.  I do hope to increase my knowledge and skills at programming this semester so I think this class will help me do that.

I was assigned a decent amount of work this first week and I have certainly been busy completing all of it.  For the DSA2 class mentioned above, I had to complete surveys and submit my results to show what type of learner I am.  I also had to read various articles and then convey what I learned from each of them.  For my Rich Media and Web Application Development class, I had to complete in class exercises using the <canvas> tag for html5 with Javascript.  I am excited for this class as I would like to expand on my knowledge and skills in web development.

The other assignment I worked on for this week was completing my First Flight for my Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software course.  For more information on this, see my last blog post :)

Overall, this week was a lot of work, but it was also very fun.  I have high hopes for this semester even though I feel like I am going to be quite busy.  I hope I can get some good projects made this year to show how I have progressed in my major of Game Design and Development.
