Advice for New Students Taking CS1300 Next Semester

Don't ever miss a class! For real, you would regret it. I missed two classes the whole semester; one was because I was sick and the other one was due to an exam that I have to study for and it directly reflected in my grade. Its easier to learn stuff in class.

Student Websites

I really liked HyeWon's site. It was colorful and had a lot of pictures of some good times. She used the color purple a lot on the background which can catch the audiences attention pretty quick. Another one that I liked was John's. It was simple but in a good way. He gave information about his family and the sports that he does. He is into sports a lot just like me which made his site more interesting to me because I always love reading stuff about sports. Erin's was pretty good too, including a lot of picture. She modified most of her pictures on photoshop which made them look better. Overall I liked all the websites that have been presented today!

PowerPoint Presentations-2

I think the best presentation on Tuesday was Taylor Burden's, about D-Day. The best part of it was the music on the background which was very appropriate for the topic. Starting from my childhood, I was always interested about historical events and especially the wars after 1900s. The dark background color and the style of typing was related to the topic. On the other hand, he used great pictures and maps about this historical event.

PowerPoint Presentations

I think everyone did a great job on their presentations and I liked all of them. People really put some solid effort preparing these presentations about stuff that they are interested in. I really liked Eduardo Bilbao's presentation about Rio de Janerio, Brazil. First of all I'm really interested in soccer and the thing he said about Rio is so true; all the great soccer player's start playing it at the streets of Rio, that is a real fact. Besides he used great pictures of the beaches to present Rio to the audience. Another one that I liked was Staci Robinson's presentation about Environmental Science. She talked about recycling and that's an issue which everyone should be interested in. Her use of animated gif was very appropriate and the bright colors increased the effect of the point that she tries to make: a "greener" world.
