bio
Oh, well hi there. My name is Judson Henckel. I'm in my first year at the art institute studying fashion marketing. I used to live in Bellingham, Washington where I was enrolled at Western Washington. I found the school to be too big and unfocused. I hope to graduate from the Art Institute and work as an event organizer or PR rep. for a major design label.

reflective assessment
I definitely have learned quite a bit about research from taking this course. Before, I used to use wiki as a resource for one, mostly because I was not aware of the user changes. I think the main concept that I can pull away from this course is to always check where the research is coming from. To examine the sponsors and creators of the information and make sure they are both accurate and credited with some form of acceptable license to give out information on the topic at hand. I do think however that I need to spend a lot more time examining the many logical fallacies that are abundant in today’s media and make sure that when I do graduate, that I do not perpetuate more ethically questionable advertisements into society. I think I’m prepared to continue my studies with a watchful eye on my sources. Just knowing that all information on the Internet is not accurate is not enough. I have learned that everything must be taken with a grain of salt, or examined in close detail as to why an author would write what they did. The midterm project helped me to understand that I can’t always change the way my opinions are towards things, and if that is true it also stands to reason that others would have the same issue. Overall I have had a great time in this class and hope that if I take any other forms of English or writing classes at the Art Institute that I am lucky enough to get Steven Arntson for them.
