Final Grades for Term 3







Digital Illustration: 2225/2400 (92.71%) -- Final Project 625/700



Color Theory: 2789/3265 (85.42%) -- Final Project 960/1280






*sigh*






My first "B" -- made the Dean's List my first two terms, and then lost it on the third. Kinda bummed, but as Meredith says: It is still above average.






True, but I really did not like the way teh class was ran. When we got our quizzes back, none of the questions we got wrong showed wha tthe correct answer was. Furthermore, with only two huge scoring projects, it was impossible to bring your grades up when all of the other assignments scored very little. And then on my final project, I only got two sentences worth of critique fromteh professor explaining my grade. It was as if he didn't care. Oh well ... I did my project really more jsut for fun anyway, and maybe make something special for my mother. She liked it, and that is what is important to me.






Oh well. My professor in Digital Theory gave me a huge paragraph explaining how things could have been better, so I fell pretty good about that.






I am really excited about school starting again, which will be on this coming Wednesday. I am curious to see how my Algebra class will be ran, especially the discussion side of things - "No, really ... prime numbers are signs from God that math can be fun!"






Anyhoo ... the pictures are from my Color Theory Final Project that I had to come up with a mock-up of a website and some banners and brochures for an event. I did a fictional garden-walk for my mother and her sister who live in two different states.






Talk to you all again soon!

Well, you are still doing better than average, and you are doing better than I ever did. Keep it up. And you are right--prime numbers are cool! (but you don't get to play with them very much in algebra)

Thanks!

I am a bit nervous about the Algebra, as I can look at some of the problems and know the answer intuitively, but it is the way they want the answer displayed and drawn out that I have a hard time doing. They want you to show some numbers in long form, such as 1/16 = 1/ 2*2*2*2. I am fretting over nothing, really. Just do what the instructions say, and I should be fine.
