Not Sophie. Sophie is not on the very long list of things I liked about this class. Just about everything else is. Every project we did gave me a little handle on a piece of internet production which is important to the digital world I interact with. Though, of course, I’ve listened to podcasts, seen HTML sites, and watched Youtube videos, the “making of” part of that experience was largely left out of my experience. I feel like that has been the most important function of this class, to fill in much of the backgrounding which is foundational to my use of the internet and digital media. The video project was my favorite because I felt like I was accomplishing the most during it, but had the HTML project been a little bit more guided and comprehensive, I think that I could easily have enjoyed it as much. The Sophie project was obviously my least favorite, followed distantly by the audio project, which I didn’t mind, but wasn’t particularly excited about either, though again I am happy to understand the work behind a podcast better. Overall, I felt like the projects required a little bit of uneven work, but were uniformly spaced and weighted which was a little bit weird, but they were all useful to my understanding of the class.
Thanks Professor Fitzpatrick!!!
