The Insight Game

I tested to be an "ENFJ" which is sociable, sensitive, and organized. It states I am charismatic, persuasive, and ideal for creating and following through with a vision. It also goes on to state I am sensitive to others needs. I find the majority of what the website proclaimed to be quite accurate. I have often seen people look tme for guidance in school, or in the workforce. In fact, I can even remember situations like this in boy scouts.

The cartoon portray playing multiple instruments with three appendages, while the free hand utilizes a calculator with an open scheduling book near by. I find this amusing since I do play a few instruments, but I am a math and science geek as well. The second cartoon porrayed ENFJ's as romantic and relationship focused. This I definately agreed with. The only area I was shocked at, was it mentioned nothing about devotion to athletics of some sort, or perhaps even something to the effect of competitive. Either way, it was still worth my time to do this insight game.

Week 2

I was appreciative of how we discussed "how to grade a writing assignment". I was even more pleased to see the class was in agreement on a few key items. Some of those elements were in regards to proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It was unanimous that we all believed you should be able to spell; now that you are in your final quarter of college. We also agreed as a class to being compliant with a provided rubric. Ultimately, if you are provided a rubric, then there is no reason you can't achieve the desired grade you want; it couldn't be anymore black and white if you ask me.

In addition to discussing how to grade written assignments, we expanded on options to add to our blogs. I am hoping that there will be a plethora of creative and advanced blog sites, since I am at an art college. I feel like every time you are given the opportunity to express yourself through art you should take it. After all, you never know who you might inspire our reach out too.

A Recap for Capstone

I found it funny when I heard negative feedback from fellow students about this class, whom haven't even taken this class yet. They were complaining that they shouldn't have to pay to tell the school what they think about the school. What these misinformed students do not realize is EVERY college has a version of this class, and the Art Institute is unique in that it caters your general education courses to your degree. In addition, they also don't realize that when you progress through a school at an accelerated rate, you don't always have the time to stop and look back in awe; as to what those classes did for you. I seriously doubt Purdue had their future astronauts take a math final that was strictly related to astro physics and nothing else. When I took my math final, at the Art Institute, it was completely tailored to the culinary arts through catering; utilizing multiple mathematical formulas.

I am excited to engage in this class, while I mold and shape my culinary character to the next level. As I mentioned previously, I have not had the opportunity to fully apply how the general education classes have seperated me from the herd in a positive light. I do know that, because of them, I am not just leaving this school a certified cook, but instead a future CHEF with a BACHELORS OF SCIENCE IN CULINARY ARTS!!!!!!!!
