Cassi Padgett- Week 9/10- Two topics

Last week I thought the speaker was very interesting. Often times a speaker may have a very interesting topic to discuss, but their personality may not be quite as interesting. Last week’s speaker, however, definitely kept the attention of the audience. He along with funny and energetic speakers like him, should be invited back to lecture to future classes.

The persentations that were presented on Monday were very interesting. However, I felt as though I was seeing the same presentation over and over again. Most of the presentations dealing with water were about how to lessen water pollution or how to demonstrate to the common public the different states of water. All of the presentations were very interesting, however I think the midterms that were presented offered much more diversity and, in turn, sparked muh more interest in the class than are the finals thus far. My partner and I have yet to present our presentation in the category of Earth. At the time, our project was seemingly innovative, however after seeing how similar the projects have been thus far, it certainly makes me nervous that our project will to be repeated.

This class has not only been informative, but Professor Vesna and the TAs made it fun and exciting. Although I don’t intend to major in Design and Media Arts, this has certainly been my most informative and fun class that I have taken.
