first week analysis

again, this semester is going to take on different characteristics than previous ones. i am enrolled in 5 classes, which is a good load for the winter time. two on byu's main campus, and three at the salt lake center.

main campus:

tma 387: advanced producing. this is going to be a great class! and tom is a great teacher. there will be a lot of script reading and coverages, a lot of following hollywood trends, and just fun creative activities.

tma 457: media in the contemporary classroom. this class requires a blog, along with some creative audio podcasting and 3 minutes docs filmed on $300 dollar cameras and editied in iMovie. (all things that could be used and taught in today's classroom.) the only interesting factor about this class is I'm the only guy. let the fun begin!


salt lake center:

rel 211: a different take on the new testament. the teacher is fluent in greek and latin and will be using older versions of the bible to compare to what is in the KJV. should be fun...there is only 12 people in the class compared to the usual 50+ at provo campus.

biol 100: another GE. my teacher said and i quote "i would recommend checking out the test from the library a week or so before the exam. it may benefit you..." haha. should be a fun class. 45 people compared to the 250+ classrooms in provo.

ahtg 100: GE. i like history enough that this class should be enjoyable. and it's not as assignment heavy as the provo campus american hertiage class. 23 people in this class compared to the 250+ in provo.

so there you have it folks! the beginning of an interesting semester. no classes on friday either!




oh and ps: i love my new job.
