So I AM RELIEVED that you have been so kind as to give us the slides to focus on. This will relieve a lot of stress and much needed time. Anyway...I am ready to study...I think that is. I must admit that I wish we had the slides at the begininning of class that we need to focus on. However, I do see your point in why you are waiting until the end of class. We would all focus on those slides instead of the ones in the powerpoint that you are going over. I am still freaked out about the 2nd excel assignment so expect to see me in your office thursday or friday...me and Ashley that is. Still can't believe she laughed during my news report. I personally felt that mine was rather interesting at least in comparison to some of the others. I feel like we have had a lot of reports on robots lately. Apparently this is becoming a leading topic when it comes to discussing technology news. I did find that filling out teacher recomendations is actually rather interesting. I appreciate that Chapman values our opinions, there's nothing worse than having a horrible teacher, luckily I do not have any of those this semester. It is very hard to concentrate knowing that the semester is amost over. However, learning about the cycle that prototypes go through was rather interesting to learn about. I never knew there was so much information regarding prototypes. The one thing that I like about this class is that everything we learn seems to link to other things we have already learned in the class, which is nice because this makes it easier to understand.

Well since this lecture was two days before thanksgiving I think that my brain had checked out at this point.  Trying to retain information seemed hopeless since this was my last class before I could go home and focus all of my energy on cooking and eating.  However, I still hadn't finished my excel homework that was due on Dec. 1 so it was helpful that you were able to stay after class.  I found this homework to be a lot easier than I had first thought, but unfortunately I cannot say the same about the one that is due on friday.  I thought it was kind of funny that more than half of our class was not there on tuesday, most people had probably already gone on vacation, the only other problem is that those of us who were in class had already mentally gone on vacation.  Anyway overall this class is actually pretty interesting because I feel like we are learning information that will actually help us in the future.  I mean I don't really have a strong desire to learn about computers, however, I think that it is more than necessary.  I did enjoy that we got out a little bit early.  I can honestly say though that this class is the scariest one I think in terms of finals.  I have NO IDEA how I am going to be able to do well on this final and that freaks me out.  But I guess we'll see how it goes :).  I hope everyone had a good THANKSGIVING.  Mine was nice.  Time to go find a news report for today.
