Creating our Movie

 Creating our movie for the Interstellar project was quite an interesting process. We brainstormed some ideas, and got together to film some clips for the video. Basically, our world was completely submerged in water as a result of a climate crisis, and the government withheld information from the public as to how serious it really was. Our mission as time travelers was to travel back to 2022 to release the information. We filmed some clips on campus of us "time traveling back" and some clips of us using a computer to release the information (very dramatically). It was fun for us to do this part. Then, I edited the clips together using iMovie and added a few articles we created about the after-effects of us releasing this info. I always enjoyed editing videos so this part was enjoyable for me. Overall, the whole project encouraged us to be super creative and make a whole storyline. It was a very unique experience which I really enjoyed.

Final Thoughts: Hon 255

My final thoughts on this course:     Overall, I really enjoyed this course and love how Professor Echeverry pushed each student out of their comfort zones. A room full of majors like biology, psychology, marine science, political science, etc. and our professor had us putting on fashion shows. I also liked how we were assigned many group projects. This allowed us all to collaborate and bring each other's creative sides out. My favorite assignment was the Interstellar project. 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...

The Matrix: Conclusion

 Red Pill vs. Blue Pill       After much debate between taking the red pill versus taking the blue pill, I can conclude that I would personally take the red pill. Although I see the pros and cons of each pill, if it was brought to my attention that there was a whole truth behind all the lies I was being fed, I would never be able to simply ignore that information. I would need to know the truth. Although it presents more of a risk, I could not take the blue pill and continue living my simulated life happily: I would always wonder what the red pill would show me and regret not taking the opportunity to learn. It is normal to question reality, society, the government, etc. but if given the option to know the truth and know that we could at least attempt to do something about it, what does it say about us if we do not take it and continue to live in ignorance?

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.
