Hello everyone and welcome to another Terrific Tuesday!
Today is going to be a different type of blog, mainly I will
be sharing one of my student moments with you.
Have you ever wonder if you are over thinking something and then you get
yourself really confused on something that should be easy to understand? I have, and I am right now!
You might be wondering what the title is all about, but if
you are not a new student, you possible have started a new round of courses
last Thursday, right? If you did, you are probably going a little crazy trying
to catch up with the studies, the readings and the assignments. So, back to the confused part, I am currently
taking two photography classes (probably like some of you) and until this term
I never had a problem differentiating the requirements of each one. However, this time is different as I am
taking two classes that require two final projects; one fashion story and one
photo essay.
Simple, right? Well,
I am here to tell you that if you take two classes that are similar in their
final project requirements be sure you clearly understand what you need to do
for the final project, and that goes for any class you take. I have seen myself confusing them and thinking
about photo stories, fashion essays and story essays! Did I confuse you? I hope not!
So, what can you do if you get as confused as I felt most of
the weekend?
- First, read all the content of the class
including the readings from your text book.
Sometimes reading the material can clear some of the confusion that you
might be feeling.
- - Ask questions, somebody said once that the worst
question is the one never asked. Believe
it or not, you might be asking questions that someone else wanted to ask but
was afraid to do so.
- - Use your resources, including your
professor! There are office hours posted
at the beginning of each course, some of them are also in Skype, so go ahead and
pick their brain, they will help you.
- - Use the blog, we are here to assist in every way
we can, if we do not know the answer, we will use our resources to help you as
much as we can!
- - Research, research, research! Sometimes research helps in seeing what is
out there and will give you some ideas of what you can do, but remember that if
you use the research in your work, you also need to give the credit to where
credit is due.
It is a new beginning, and it don't have to be a stressful
one! Have fun with your new classes and embrace
the moment!
Until later then, hope you are all doing great and not
stressing too much. Have a question
about your current classes, drop me a line, I will be checking regularly all
day!
Have a great pixel day!
Tuesday Ambassador
