Campus Signage Summary


            While looking for a sign, I realized that I passed a ton of times before but have never noticed the sign that I chose. It was put up for this semester—a class was searching for adventurers to travel back in time to 1520 in Europe. The professor wanted people for their European War of Religions or HIST 414.
            As I pondered at the sign for quite a long while, reading through its content. That’s when it hit me, why should I have to look at a sign for this long? When I want to join something, I don’t want to have to look at a sign for a long period of time and read through a whole paragraph to realize what it’s about. I think that is where this professor went wrong because they write this whole paragraph, expecting many people to read it, but in all reality I know that people are going to look past this poster. Students are not going to want to sit and read this paragraph to figure out what they could learn in this class.
            The main thing that I did was take away the paragraph and make the sign one big picture. I took another religious war—even though it was quite a busy picture—and took a single line that I though was important to represent the class. I also took out the classes that you can get credit for the class, because I believe that is a main thing that students want to know.

            Once I was done with remaking the sign, I was very happy with it. It was just simple enough to help students know what the class is about with enough knowledge to be able to look up the class and research it if they are interested in it.

Documentary Project Reflection

While watching the documentary, I felt a very strong attachment to the film that in most parts I had to pause and take a breath. During the end of the film I started to cry because I know this was a wonderful documentary but I also know that nothing will be done about the coral bleaching… This is the film that actually motivated me to travel to exotic places and see the things that may not be there in a couple years. I would really like to go see the great barrier reef but I am now afraid that it will soon not be there. This film was amazing, and I have watched it ten times since the assignment was assigned.             One thing that did surprise me was near the end of the documentary when they got a call that the coral had been doing something weird, I did not expect what I saw. The amazing, vibrant colors of the coral shocked me because I have never seen coral that color unless it was spray-painted in a novelty store. Even the...

How to Parallel Park

Growing up, I have always been the driver for my family and friends because I enjoyed driving. But there was one thing missing from my driving experience that I did not know until I had to take my driving test. I did not know how to parallel park. So when Asked by my test giver, I had to admit that my instructor never told me how to parallel park. I did pass my test, but I want to make sure that more people know before it is too late. Step one: The first step in parallel parking is to drive around the city/town to find a perfect place to practice parallel park. Once you find that perfect spot—preferably with not too many cars around—you will start by checking your rearview mirror to make sure that there is no oncoming traffic from the rear. This is important because you don’t want to accidentally run into you—or you to run into them! Make sure to check several times before practicing. Once you do, turn your turn signal on to indicate that you are going to park. Step two: The secon...
