Extra Credit Madness! || Opinions on Assignments

Lots of variety is key to keeping it interesting...

Readings, storytelling, comments, projects, feedback, oh my! There's no shortage of variety when it comes to the different types of assignments for this class. And that's not even including all the different types of extra credit!

As always, I look forward to readings, especially when the readings are stories, myths, or legends that are entertaining and enjoyable in their own rights. The storytelling assignments also look very interesting. I wouldn't credit myself as that good of a creative writer, but I'm excited to try my hand at retelling the stories I enjoy. To that end, I will probably be excited to receive the comments and feedback from my fellow students that may help to grow my abilities in writing and storytelling.

Aside from the main assignments, we also have the myriad collection of extra credit assignments available to us. Looking at the list, I think that Tech Tips, Wikipedia Trails, and Microfictions look like to be the most fun or interesting to me. I like the idea of learning some more about how to code or format my blog to add to the functionality or aesthetics. I've also done one or two "Wikipedia Trails" or things similar to that in the past and they're always lots of fun. Microfictions just sounds like an intriguing idea to experiment and play around with. The idea of six word story feels both crazy and intriguing at the same time.

    I'm also looking forward to the myriad of assignment types for this class! There's just so much variety each week, and the extra credit assignments are especially interesting. I've enjoyed completing the extra commenting assignments because I get to learn more about other people in the class along with their personal experiences. I think the variety of assignments for this class will keep things interesting for me, especially since this is my last semester, and I've already mentally clocked out!

Hobbies, Hopes, and... I'm Out of H Words || An Introduction

Everyone keeps telling me to change my major... Welcome to the blog! My name is Rhys and I am a senior Psychology major! When I'm not scrambling to complete my degree, I work as a 3D printing student specialist for OU Libraries and as a lab assistant for the OU Visual Neuroscience Laboratory.  I'm looking forward to graduating this summer after a study abroad trip to Scotland.  Move In Day! When I'm not at work or school, I spend my time entertaining a variety of hobbies including programming, circuit building, 3D art, animation, and design, 3D printing, video production, visual effects, and cooking! I spend quite a lot of time working on all of these things, which has led to a running joke among my family and friends that I declared the wrong major.  3D World Animation I'm always looking to learn new skills. I honestly love learning and school. In fact, I plan on pursuing a career in academia as a psychology researcher. Essentially, I plan on never ...

Week 2 Story: The Lawyer, the Plaintiff, and the Innocent?

The Lawyer, the Plaintiff, and the Innocent? "Mr. Brahms, please tell the jury how you came to meet the defendant." "Well...it was a Saturday a couple months ago. I was working late at the hospital...maybe 10:00 or 11:00? When I left work, I was walking down the sidewalk to our parking garage when I saw Mr. Tigris lying facedown on the concrete." "What happened then, Mr. Brahms?" "I....I walked up to him to check to see if he was okay. I approached and shook his shoulder to see if he was conscious. When I did, he started moaning and groaning like he was in pain. I tried to see if he was injured..." "Now, Mr. Brahms, you are a medical professional, correct?" "That's right. I'm a nurse." "So you would have been able to fairly easily identify any physical wounds on the defendant?" "Yes, I believe I would be." "But you did not find any on the defendant?" "No, I did not...

Microfiction: Snow and Sadness

Short stories require big effort... 140-Character Story: It Bites So difficult. So painful. The snow, the wind, and the cold all bite. But not as bad as those wolves. Run faster and leave the others behind. Wolf and Snow 280-Character Story: See Them Again In the normal course of events, I would've been delighted to see my mother. Always loving and caring. I really miss her. And here she is in front of me. A happy reunion waiting to happen. But it can't happen. She's been gone too long. She's not real. So why can I feel her hug me? Author's Note: I swear I'm not a sad or gloomy person. That last story may have been a little on the depressing or hopeful side depending on how you look at it. Don't worry, my mother is alive and well and will probably stay that way for a long time. But I do know the feeling of wanting to see a loved one again. Hug them one last time. Even if it might be a dream... The first story was really a fun one to writ...
