Technology Is Not Always Made To Be Easy

I choose to do my midterm project on the UAP because I have learned a lot from over the summer that has positively affected my experience here at Southern. Even though I did not expect the program to be as hard as it was I now understand the whole process did open my eyes to how college runs. I am very thankful that I did have this opportunity over the summer to become well prepared for the challenges that college may bring. I would not be a student at SCSU if it was not for this program. Above all applying dedication and hard work is what got me into Southern. Therefore I know I’m a college student that has to try extra hard in some areas to keep my grades up. The program helped me improve in such areas as my writing, college success, math, and reading. I took something important from each of the classes taught in the summer that carried over to my success in the fall.

I feel that overall I did put together a decent midterm project for my first time using windows media player. I unfortunately did not have the best experience with technology in finalizing my midterm project in time because of my computer crash. Because of my computer crash I had to start brand new by organizing all my clips since my computer had to be wiped out. If there was something I would change about my project would have been to complete it in time and also interview more people. After my computer crashing and working on putting my project together one last time, I  wanted to post the video as soon as possible since I’m already far behind. I thank Professor Guarino for understanding my issue. My video goes in chronological order so it’s an easy story line to follow and is a little over five minutes. I interviewed two coordinators affiliated with the UAP program. I think that my project is informative and hopefully catches the audience’s attention also. Many of my classmates aren’t aware of this program and to explain about it would be through academics and how they help in all different ways to make Southern a place where we want to stay because I have this extra support. My video has pictures included from over the summer. I can hear all voices clearly in this video and tried to make the graphics professional. If I could revise my project I would focus more on the interviews however I enjoyed how they both went.  I am working to post my video up this weekend.
