Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
i chose the red bull ads not the European ones with the disclaimers at the end, but the American ones. They all state that red bull vitalizes your body and mind, or gives you wings, and stimulates your senses. In actuality I've never seen anyone drink a red bull for energy, only in mixed drinks, and they certainly didnt end up flying around, or got a perfect score on their Sat's afterwords.

Self-Assessment
I feel like this class taught me more than any of the other classes that I've taken so far at the Art Institute, or at least that I got more out of this class than I did out of the other classes I've attended. It was kind of unexpected because I wasn't really sure what the class was about, mainly because the title "General Education" was pretty broad. I quickly decided that GE was the one class in the week i looked forward to attending, The instructor, Steve, was awesome. He really made me think when he asked questions, and unlike most of the classes and education I've received in my life, I actually found myself thinking about the class even when i wasn't in it. The project that he had us do was really fun, so doing the research didn't feel like homework at all, and now I've planned a trip to Vancouver, BC to see an awesome hockey game. Basically to sum things up, I'd like to believe that the grade i got reflects how i felt about the course. I had fun, put all that I could into the projects, and even found myself participating in discussions in class, and formulating and sharing my own opinions, which is something i never did in high school, a least not willingly.
