Blog 25(What a experience)

This semester has been an incredible journey with its ups and downs. There’s a lot that can be said about this media cluster. It was filled with a lot of memorable moment. I have grown as a person and student this semester.
First of all let me start off with the professors. They are educators that install us with the knowledge they once learned. This group is composed of three individuals: Dr. Smith, Dr. Joyce Reuben, and Professor Lucca commonly known as Lou. All of whom that have very different methods of teaching. Dr. Smith taught us how to blog. He taught us that we can found ourselves through writing. He showed us how to copyright our work. We watched movies that allowed us to view society differently. He allowed us to explore different learning environments other than our college; he did this by taking us on trips. We went to the museum of movable images, which was crazy fun. We also went to the library for the performing art. He made the semester so much fun, could not even feel the time passing. Now Dr. Reuben, the woman that you don’t want to be late for. She’s an educator that likes to keep the class busy. She is a woman that cares deeply about the art of film. She’s views film a little differently from the outside world. Her deepest desire is us to love film, and find the meaning of the film. She wants us to open our eyes and to explore what a director may have thought when he made a certain film. Dr. Reuben is a professor that cares about her student succeeding in film and in college. Even through me as an individual did not quality understand the elements of film, doesn’t take away from the excellent educator she is. Last but surely not least, Professor Lucca. He is real. He is tactless. He made a early Monday class easy to attend. This man made me think and question my views on society. He gave us homework every week that made us think. He does take shit off of any one. He allowed me to argue with Jarvis, which I love. He allowed me to express my point of view in class. He’s the reason that I wrote my first ten page paper. He showed me being old is not too bad, lol. Don’t tell him that, he’ll fail my ass. He educated me on the fact that we as society have all become watchers. He taught me that the message is controlled. He showed us the power of the religion groups. Lou allowed us to talk about uncomfortable like Sex.
Secondly I want to discuss the cluster, also known as a learning community. We had an interest group of individuals. Old, young, Gay, Straight, lazy, Go getter, Black to Korean, you name it we had it, that what I loved about it. However there are things I disliked about it. We had every class together, so I felt there should have been more teamwork. Even in classes that students are not together the entire time form study group. A lot of times I feel that people were out for themselves. But there were a few people that work together, and at the end I believe it will pay off. Some of my class mates help me through my journey through technology. One of my friends in class showed me how to put a picture on my BBM. My class mate woke me up when I fell asleep in film class. We laugh together. I’m glad to say most us made it to the end of the semester. My class mate helped me view college in a whole different way.
Over all my experience in the media cluster has been a good one, and I will never forget the people I came to know along the way. I also believe that I have obtain more knowledge than I had at the begin of the twelve weeks
