Love Death + Robots Analysis

 September 11, 2022      Love Death + Robots was a very interesting series of shorts that I thoroughly enjoyed viewing in class. After watching quite the range of futuristic robot content, my favorite short from Love Death + Robots was Automated Customer Service. This was my favorite because I found it hilarious and the most entertaining, but it still had an interesting underlying message.      Set in the future, an elderly community has robots to do just about everything for them, from pedicures to walking their dogs.

Final Thoughts: Hon 255

That was my favorite movie we watched by far, and creating that video was a lot of fun too. I liked using this class as an escape from the more boring and exhausting science courses I am used to. I loved having Professor Echeverry as a teacher: he always kept things real and interesting and opened my eyes to a lot of things I would have never even thought about before. His assignments were always different and creative, and in turn required us to be different and creative as students. Thank you for takin...

Day 1

August 29, 2022 Hi!! My name is Sophia Demitrio and I am a sophomore this year. I am from New Jersey and am a biology major. My first impression of this class made me very excited for the semester. Since I have taken strictly science classes in college so far, I look forward to this class that will allow me to explore a more creative approach of learning. I expect to treat this class as a release from my other courses and to genuinely enjoy what Professor  Echeverry has to offer.
