Class Evaluation

There are many things about this class that I have enjoyed. One such thing is the fact that I gained a more extensive knowledge on the inner workings of computers and the internet. I really appreciate the knowledge and insight I have gained from this classs.

I did not like the lack of hands-on activities we did in the first semester. The curriculum in the first semester was neccesary, but we only did paperwork or metaphorical activities. I would have liked more activities on the computer.

As I have stated before, I would like the class to have had more hands-on activities during the first semester. I feel like if we had more hands-on activities in the first semester, I would have enjoyed the class more and I would have been more prepared for the curriculum in the second semester.

There were many interesting and/or enjoyable times in this class, but there is one highlight for me. The highlight of this class for me was when I finally finished my Create PT Project. I had spent so much time and energy on the project that I almost gave up. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that I knew I could finish it. I knew it wasn't difficult, it was just time-consuming. I wanted to finish it, I wanted the achievement. I am very proud of the project.

I did really do my best in this class. This class wasn't necessarily hard, but it wasn't easy either. I was challenged enough to focus and to apply myself, but I wasn't too stressed out to the point of giving up.

I try my very best to read my Life Planning Goals Journal whenever we can. It is very stressful during the final days of High School, along with my sudden fever and throat infection, but I try to remind myself of the goals I have of the future.

I am definitely committed to being a CTR and an Areté person. I feel like to not be committed to be these things is to deny yourself success and happiness. Essentially, being a CTR or and Areté person is more than good morals or whatever; being a CTR or Areté person means that you believe you can be a good person, and it means you believe you can be successful. It means you are actively believing in yourself, and to resist these idealogies is to resist self-success.

Thousand Pines Camp

My experience at Thousan Pines Christian Camp was very satisfactory. The staff there was very lovely and kind. The activities there were very interesting and entertaining. The cabins were pretty nice and better than most. The scenery was lovely. The food was incredible. Overall good experience.

Class Evaluation

Class Evaluation

1.  From this class, I liked that I got to learn new things about computers, internet, etc that I never knew I would learn about.
2. I did not like from the class that we did not do as much "hands on" learning. I would have liked to code more instead of a paper supplement. Also, I did not like that a lot of times we were researching scientific innovations. Although interesting to learn about, I feel that class time could have been more focused on the course material so we could understand it more.
3. Some recommendations for the class would be maybe to research more websites that would allow us to do some experimentation on coding or whatever it is we are learning at the time. Also I would suggest to reroute more class time into mastering the course material.
4.  A highlight for this class would have to be when went into groups and figured out how to transmit data with simple supplies you handed us.
5. I really did my best in this class.
6. I am making sure that I will pass that AP test.
7. I have not been reading and reporting my Life Planning Goals Journal daily for this month. The stress of finals has pushed that out of the way in my head.
8. I am committed to being a CTR/Arete person. It is not that I am constantly telling myself to be a CTR/Arete person frequently, but it is the fact that I constantly strive to be the best version of myself that makes me a CTR/Arete person.

• The innovation I am writing about is that scientists are discovering that diamonds can store vast amounts of data. They haven't found a way to utilize the diamond in this way, but have found that it is entirely possible.
• The impact of this would be towards anyone who can afford a diamond. Also, this will impact the way we store data, it is theorized by Siddharth Dhomkar, a physicist at the City College of New York, that "The storage density of such an optimized diamond chip would then be far greater than [that of] a conventional hard disk drive,"
• The problems that this would solve is the issue that we haven't figured out how to store so much data in such a tiny space.
• I think this is an interesting innovation that mixes functionality with style.

• The internet innovation I chose to write about is VoIP (voice over internet protocol), or more specifically, Skype. Skype is a web application that allows you to make free calls to anywhere around the world, and with many features that would usually charge such as caller ID, call waiting, and conference calling all built in.
• Skype and VoIP impacts millions of people all around the world. Anyone who has access to a phone or computer and internet can acquire this excellent application.
• The problems solved by VoIP is long distance communication at a low/free cost. Using VoIP apps such as Skype allows users to be able to access all the features of of a regular phone at a  free cost.
• I think this innovation is amazing and I am definitely grateful for it.

• The innovation I decided to talk about is a new charm bracelet that teaches girls how to code. Jewelbots are small woven bracelets with plastic flower charms that contain LED lights and a bluetooth inside. The user can download a phone app that syncs with the bracelet and set when and what color the bracelet lights up as well as when to vibrate. By using rudimentary code, the wearer can program the bracelet to react up to anything.
• This bracelet will impact anyone who chooses to wear it, but the main demographic is young girls.
• By young girls using the bracelet and learning the foundations of coding, this will usher in a new era of women who know how to and enjoy coding.
• I think this is a neat innovation that will definitely impact some people's lives. I wish that I had this technology as a child so that I could have understood coding easier and at a young age.
