What Did You Like About The Course?

What I liked about the course was that it was not too hard and we actually played some games such as Subsistence and Minecraft. The photoshop, coding, animation, slideshows, key rings and extra little games were very useful. It helped me a lot and I learned quite a bit from it, which I was hoping it would do by the end of the semester.

What could be improved?

What could've been improved was maybe handing in the assignments on time that I didn't get in on time (kind of doesn't make sense). I did miss some JavaScript assignments which I wish I could've finished. That's about it. 

Picture From my Favorite Assignment:

  The Subsistence survival game was really fun even tho I was frustrated in the beginning, in the end I got the hang of it and didn't want to stop playing.

Steps To Making A Keychain

1. You want to set up your SketchUp and choose your template 
2. Go to camera;standard view;top
3. Then in the tool bar above click 'rectangle' in shapes
4. Click the middle where the the axis are and drag out but don't click because we have to give it a measure
5. How you measure the rectangle is easy just type in '100,40' then enter
6. Now you can click 'zoom extents' to get a good zoom in of the shape
7. Click the 'tape measure' above in the tool bar and measure the the short side '20' by doing that just type the # in and tap enter
8. Now measure the long sides '5' by doing the same method
9. Go to arcs and choose the 2 point arc and using the lines you just made click the the outer edges for the 20 and drag out to the end
10. Do the same step for the inner line but stop at the half circle
11. Once done erase the corners and lines on the outer outline of the oval
12. Get on a good angle using the rotate tool and switch to the pull up tool then type 5 in and then enter. This gives the keychain the dimension.
13. Your pretty much done and you could add something in there too such as initials, models and symbols.

Predict My Final Grade

I think I deserve to get an "A" because I'm kind of caught up with everything and I use my time really well. 

I'm more confident and have a good idea of what I need to do to get an 'A' now. So this grade is a better prediction from last time. 

Hopefully I do get what I predicted.
