Q: What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose to do your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).

A: Its about a mouse that drives on the road and crashes, because i wanted to inform people that mice shouldn't drive. Because in the movie, Stewart Little 2, the main character Stewart drives his car and crashes. So this video is a reenactment of the scene and an informational video.  

Q: If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and not very good and 10 being out of this world/mind blowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.

A: My effort a 9, because I worked solo and my board was erased wile i still had my stuff on it. So my effort is pretty high, but the video itself is probably a 6. Because, the video doesn't go as fast as i want and it doesn't look good. The camera is a little shaky and the camera randomly changes in the middle of the video, (board erase).

Q:In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Different topic? Explain yourself.

A: Better speed, steady camera, and working technology. The technology didn't want to cooperate with me so it made the video harder to do. My timing was good but the technical difficulties caused it to be late.

Q:Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 

A: Because, my video has a mouse driving a car, and  527 slides. I think my idea was cool and creative, because it's not everyday you see a mouse driving a car.

Q:What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

A: At least a 90%, because I tried my hardest but with all the problems it made it difficult. Even though the challenges were tough, I pushed through it.

Unethical Practice

Q1. Why do you think that most people use unethical practices to cheat academically?

A1. So they don't have to do a lot of work. For example, research, ruff draft, typing and editing. The person might think they can get away with it. Additionally, maybe the person waited until the last day and panicked, so they copied and pasted, but switched around the words, still making it cheating.

Q2. Which one of the four offenses committed you think should have been let off with a warning rather than expelled? Why?

A2. None, because they all should know that copy-pasting, use of other people's work, plagiarizing, etc. is cheating and shouldn't be done. Plus, all the acts of cheating were equal, so all of the punishments should be equal.

Q3. What kinds of problems will follow the students with this on their record?

A3. If anyone looks at the students records it will say that they plagiarized and were kicked out of the university, so people wont want to hire them, or invite/accept them for a new school.

Q4. Search the unethical academic practices or plagiarism at the school you want to attend and see what

the offense for these practices are and explain.

A4. Miami University states," The Department of Anthropology is commuted support the growth of student intellect and potential, so the act of plagiarism will be undermined." That means that the university takes this problem seriously and will immediately dismantle the problem.

    

Lesson 1 & 2
Q: Tell about the commands taught and what your Sphero was able to do with these commands.
A: Brandon and  I learned how to command Sphero to move at different speeds, stop at certain times, and change color. We were able to complete the tasks asked and play around with the distance and movement of the Sphero. We were able to make the Sphero move in certain tracks, like triangles, pentagons, and various other shapes. Brandon and I learned many things due to the trail and error in Lessons 1 and 2.

Sixth Sense Review



Q: What did you learn?
A: I leaned about the new technologies being developed and how it will change the world.

Q: List at least four items that were amazing and describe them.
A: The camera clip enabled the use of technology you can use only with computer or phone, into gestures and simple movements. The gestures allow users to take pictures, search the web, play games, and do things you can only use with a phone or computer. The automatic search key lets the user see when a flight lea

ves, or what a book's rating is. The new technology in whole allows people to connect the viral world to the real world. The possibilities are endless.

Q: What might be the problems to this type of technology?
A: Privacy, other people can see what kind of person you are. Law breaking, for example, the drawing on any surface could be mistaken for vandalism or property damage. You could watch a movie or read a book illegally by using the camera to auto read you the book without buying it.
