Big Picture - Class Discussion

The grouping up during class ended up being helpful.  When we were first asked to group up I thought that it would honestly end up being a bit of a waste of time.  Unfortunately, I have forgotten the student's names that I grouped up with.  That's the problem with doing these things too far after the fact.  I do remember the ideas, however.  The first person's capstone idea in our group was a website.  He wanted to do it because it's what he's had the most experience doing.  He went into more detail about what the website would contain and it sounded pretty interesting.  The next person's idea was a 3D animated short that would probably run around 3 minutes and also would be in stereoscopic 3D.  This was very interesting.  The story that he had at the time sounded entertaining and fairly well thought out.  I can't wait to see his capstone.  When we heard the rest of the class tell their ideas it both made me not feel as behind and stressed but also made me realize that it's time to get serious about the capstone process.  I didn't feel so behind because a lot of students were in the same position as me by not knowing what they wanted to do.  Some people, however, had a pretty solid plan in place and, in some cases, have already started on their project.  All in all, it was quite an eyeopening class and gave me a good gauge on what people are thinking about.
