Courses
Here are some of the courses I took at Salt Lake Community College. Click the title of the course or the accompanying picture to go to my course web page. There is where you'll find my saved work from the course.
English 1010 - Spring 2009
This course was about one subject and one conflict: writing and the optimal style to teach young college students, respectively. The class, at first seemed to drag on the same subject, but gradually grew me in. It taught me a lot about writing and gave me a direction to follow for my personal stylistic choice.
English 2010 - Fall 2009This class allowed me to take my newly structured writing abilities and apply them to new media. In this course, we were encouraged to write about the same subject for the semester's entirety. It was also encouraged to be unique and an important subject to us students, personally. I found a particular subject, that I knew would be interesting to not only myself, but for my readers. I decided to write about my relation to the number one suspect in the 1971 D.B. Cooper Skyjacking case. Intrigued? You're just a couple clicks away from learning more! At the bottom of the page, you'll find the pdf documents.
I wasn't able to apply the story to every paper in the course, so there is one off-subject paper in there, as well. Although it's not about D.B. Cooper, it's still an interesting position paper on the controversial airport body scanners. |
Film & Culture - Fall 2009Why take a film class? For a fine arts credit, for the love of film, and for my possible future in video games and/or film. Although I already knew a lot about what goes into making a film, what goes into the story, how to read into the plot, and a lot of film history, I learned a lot! I really impressed myself with my study of the film The Graduate. I was able to read into the metaphors and pick apart the story better than ever before. From this, I will be able to write metaphors and deeper meanings into my future films and/or games, if I write my own someday.

Humanities 1100 - Summer 2010
Humanities 1100 was a great course that taught me entirely new ways of looking at the world in which we live and the many, many things within it. People who aren't fortunate enough to take this class or one like it sometime in their lives are truly missing out on a great learning experience. And those who flash through the class without actually taking the opportunity to learn what it has to offer are fools.

Tech 1010 - Spring 2010Technology & Our Future was the official given title of the course. The class covered the vast picture of technology and its history throughout human existence. Rick Winter was a wonderful teacher who had a magnificent mind for the meaning of technology and its effects on humans. |
Art 1020 - Fall 2010
Drawing 1020 was a requirement for my major in Computer Science: Engineering Arts and Entertainment and it also covered the general Fine Arts requirement at the community college. Before this class, I would occasionally doodle, and never really thought of myself as much of an artist. I had a history in music, computer graphic design, video editing, and other forms of art, but not much in drawing. This class opened my eyes to a skill I never knew I had. The class taught basic rules and fundamentals and if you follow them, you're bound to build some solid drawing skills. It's turned out to be a course that may change the rest of my life.
