Yolo brakowaski, it’s me again…

 

(Due to some technical issues regarding uploading, our work was late for 9 hours.)

Introduction: 

In the video Joshua, Nicholas, and I created, we focused on the importance of academics. We taught the audience the ways to have decent grades, and the advantages of having great academic performance. The coldhearted truth was stated in the video, that grades basically determines an individual’s future since it is a crucial reference or implication of his/her ability. It is certainly important that students should be come a balanced individual, but striving for excellence in academics is actually the dominating factor for one’s career, as it differentiates people into separate categories.

 

This is so true….

Reflection: 

I think that I did a lot of work in this section since I basically edited the entire video individually. (it is impossible to share the Imovie video to others to edit.) I had created a document where my teammates and I jogged down all ideas, then we had a short original filming that was effective in showing our major topic, grades. Overall, we had great time management as we split the amount of work everyday equally. Joshua and Nicholas were in charge of the short filming, and I made the video, which shows the division of work. (Though making the video took most time.) For this unit, collaboration was perfectly presented.

In addition, in our short movie, I have also shown a lot of skills, including advanced editing, detailed information, simple sentences, and correct attributions. We have done every single part properly with high efficiency. We always had a lot of work done everyday with quality, which was the thing that I was proud of. However, there were still minor mistakes that we could improve on- independence. It seemed like all of us were too dependent on others and waiting for the division of labor that no one wanted to do too much. I think, at least for myself, should present selflessness and carried the more work since I could learn a plethora of things from engagement in group activities.

In short, despite the collaboration, I hoped that I could do more for my future advantages in my academic career; responsibility is the key!

Finally, let’s relax!

Yolo Everyone,

Why will students cheat? It is an inquiry the presentation mainly focuses on.

This presentation helps others understand that honesty is a basic thing that everyone should be able to achieve, but majorities fail to be academically honest due to the overwhelming pressure or simply their laziness. It is an astonishing fact that 86% of high schoolers have cheated, and cheating is extremely ubiquitous that it seems unsurprising and legitimate to be academically dishonest despite the heavy consequences and its violation on the school’s policies.

Everyone wants to succeed, but each person chooses different ways; apparently, a plethora of people decide to use illicit methods. Sometimes, illegal ways are more effective to having a better result, but the process of learning, one of the most important parts in education, is skipped. Therefore, in my opinion, I think cheating is not a good way to make a student competitive.

 

When I was presenting, I was not really confident, resulting in silent voice and fast-talking speed. Although I had eye contacts with the audience while presenting, my speaking was not really fluent; there were still paucity of stops in my presentation. Another mistake was that I forgot to add the creative commons for every single image, which might be considered a form of academic dishonesty. However, our presentation was organized and informative, which provided a plethora of information to the audience. Overall, I think I did an acceptable job with a lot of things to improve on next time!

Sports can be shown in various different ways. These images are all categorized as sports, but their aspects and objectives are completely unique from one another.

These photos, despite categorized as sports, show difference in beauty, kinetics, aesthetics, perspectives, and objectives. For the “Logan Forsythe Broken Bat,” it shows the perfect correlation of power and sciences; however, for the “Chinese Go” picture taken by myself, it represents the wonderful combination between rivalries, specifically black and white stones, and the brain competition between enemies. Thus, it emphasizes on intelligence and strategies rather than intensity.
