Ending Computer Skills Class and Advise

I initially did not think that this class would be helpful, but it turned out to be an educational and enlightening experience. I advise people to do their homework right after class. Some of it requires time and creativity, and besides, a lot of the homework is doable and not difficult. I enjoyed my time here in Mrs. Belisle's class, and I appreciate her effort to educate us in the powers of the computer. A lot of the topics we covered were extremely interesting, and I loved using photoshop and web design in this class. Furthermore, you will learn much more than you think when it comes to Microsoft Word and Excel. I personally know that i will be using my newly gained knowledge in my future courses here at Trinity, and I would recommend this class to anyone in need of learning and developing basic computer skills.

Websites

All of the websites presented on Thursday were creative and wonderful. I enjoyed listening to each of their presentations and looking at the things each student was interested in. I also enjoyed the other websites that did not have the chance to be shown that day. The websites I loved looking at were Brandon's, Nick's, and Jeff's. Brandon, in both his website and in his powerpoint presentation, discussed his interest in geology. However, this time he also included other interests such as playing the bass and speaking in french. I loved the topics that he used because they all seem extremely interesting. Nick's website had a good balance of personal and professional topics. He talked about research but he also included good-quality pictures of his friends. The website also looked as if he fit his personality into it. I liked Jeff's website because it was neat and organized. The simple red and black color scheme was easy on the eyes, and his resume also impressed me a lot. Lastly, I loved the picture of his dog.

Overall, the websites I visited were all fantastic! It was evident that everyone put a lot of hard work in it.

PowerPoint Presentations 2

Since I am majoring in biology, I was especially interested in those who talked about certain diseases that did not have any known cures. For me, Esha's presentation about Alzheimer's Disease was informative and I learned a lot of of new things about this disease that I did not expect. I especially thought The Nun Study was interesting. Nick also gave a presentation about a disease that still does not have a cure. He presented his material with sophistication, and I thought it was especially interesting that he will be researching this disease with Trinity's chemistry professor Dr. Urbach.

I wish I was present in class to listen to the topics people presented on Tuesday, but I am sure that those presentations were just as great as the ones on Thursday.
