Before I understood what was going on in this class- I automatically put all my five classes in the same category. HARD. Already dealing with classes online made my brain hurt so I just prepared for the worst to come. But the professor was able to make the class welcoming and gave more of a description of what we would really be doing this semester- instantly I was relieved.

This is exactly how I was holding my coffee once the professor began explaining and saying the words, “This will be a fun course.”

Logging into my other classes make me dreadful and sometimes make me wish I never had to participate. Its the slightly the same thing with all of them- lecturing for 2 hours and giving out assignments under “Course Materials”

Hearing the same thing repeatedly throughout the weak can drive someone insane- this GIF represents my actions whenever I hear another professor doing the attendance

But this class motivates me to do more. Who would have known I would be in a class that is actually interesting ! Writing, reading, and even completing task is a new adventure.

Cant wait to see whats to come and how I have transformed into someone who can work my way online !

So like most Gifs come in handy when you have everything to say but you don’t exactly know how to say it. I find that with being in college and working full time, I experience at least 10 emotions throughout the day.

I am the type of person that turns off their alarms and says “5 more minuets” then I’m late.

Having a job is sooooooooo not fun

What I really want to say:

What I really say:

And of course my happiness is coming home:

But for some odd reason I decided to take an evening class, not just any class STATISTICS….

Although my day is usually uneventful, my nights are always my favorite part.

This is my reaction when i wake up every morning and my professor decide to add more assignments that are a week apart from the ones they just assigned

Im slowly losing my mind but im getting through this !

One thing that makes me happy is cars. To be specific i love woking on em from doing a regular maintence change to hooking up the car with a crazy exhaust system or even doing a sick custom music build

Outside of school beside on doing my assigments for all my classes and doing my hw and prepping for quizzes and tests. I’ll always be working on my car to the point where my parents think I have an addiction because for any reason i find an excuse to go do something to car from washing it to putting on a sick decal to make it look cool

This was my reaction when I read in the syllabus that we have to do 2-3 activities every week and almost decided to drop a class because this my senior year and I have a lot to do.

But when the professor explains the activities I was relaxed and now I am pretty excited to take this class.

Before attending my first CT 101 class, I had already mentally prepared myself to be drowning in the rigorous workload that is often seen in college courses.

On the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxed environment. The professor seemed genuinely excited to teach the course which changed my perspective about the class. Sometimes, when professors portray a certain attitude towards students it affects the energy of the class. Hence, it was a nice change in scenery.

Furthermore,  the assignments offer students the use of creative freedom to display our ideas, emotions, and thoughts within our assignments. I was intrigued by the idea of writing blogs instead of answering textbook discussion questions. I felt confident with the ability to learn about the lessons rather than cramming facts into my head for tests.  As a marketing major, this was indeed a different world.

Compared to my other courses, CT 101 is a hands-on course where we review our work with our peers and create blogs that are related to the skills we are taught in the previous class.  In addition, I expect to learn about different outlets on the internet, For example, GIF’s and how to create these features, we often see on the internet.

As a senior, this is the perfect way to end a chapter with some creativity. Although I graduate in Spring 2021. But you get the idea.

It’s time to go to class … here we go again…

First, when I read about the class, I thought it was going to be a super complicated class with a lot of writing (writing is not for me …) but when I read that we were going to use digital tools to make a digital narrative I found it very interesting. So, after read that the word “design” came to my mind..

Then, with the prefessor’s instructions on how the class was going to be and seeing that one of the purposes of this class is to learn and have a good time, I thought, “mmm yeah, this class is for me!! lol”

I think the most noticeable difference of this class compared to the others is that “creativity” is used much more here. In my other classes there is not much space to put something of your own. Here as in this assignment, there is a lot of creativity since you decide what to put, what to write and what to show and that is something that makes you like the class more.

I hope to learn a lot in this class and develop my creativity further. !!

When I first signed up for the class I was not sure what to expect.

After the first class I really enjoyed this class. Learning about the course and what we were going to do made me happy. Some of my other classes makes me stress out a lot. With this class work is fun. Doing homework makes me excited and I actually enjoy doing homework. After the first day I was already looking forward to the next class.

This class is very fun and I like being creative. Big Thumbs up

Me after hearing that there are no test for this class. Hearing that made me very excited and Sounded very good. Also me after seeing how nice and cool the professor was.

This is my type of class. I could get creative and have fun doing homework and enjoy being in class. I made this using Giphy.

The first day of CT101 I was happy with the communication and understanding of the professor it was refreshing to see.

Hearing about the course was fun because it provided a break from grueling memory-intensive classes. No equations, real life experience, count me in.

Although work is required, CT101 is a good relief compared to other classes because being creative and having fun is an essential part in making your work the best it can be.

I find this class very useful in navigating the future of our online lives. This is one of the most important times to be taking a class like this because it prepares us for expressing ourselves more directly and eloquently online.

Before fall semester started in general, I was already feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Adding a strictly technology based class to my schedule put the icing on the cake.

I am not the best at anything technology related lol. That is why I was extremely happy when I realized that the class was a “101” course meaning it was for beginners!

The first day of class is finally here. I am a little bit nervous still but very excited to start.

Meeting Professor Seslow for the first time was a pleasure. He was very welcoming from the beginning of the zoom meeting and spoke very calmly. 

During class we discussed the CUNY academic commons account sign up, what the syllabus for the course is like and future assignments. I was shocked when he said that there are no tests for the class. I was like….

The zoom meeting ended and I could say that I was really pleased with the first day of class. I look forward to doing our future assignments, seeing my classmates post and also posting more on the CUNY academics site!
