Earlier last week, a few classmates were tasked with creating brief presentations that outlined the contents of their final paper for the class. Plenty of genres were investigated, from AI, to gaming and anxiety, as well as a distant reading of the entire harry potter series.
Altogether, it was uniquely interesting to see the views of my various classmates. Some iconic ones to name were Mick's and his discussion of how genuine people are through social media. And with this sense of genuine-ness he investigated how often people tend to research the content they absorb through Social media.
However, out of the plenty that I saw, none were more fascinating to me than Trey's Distant reading of the Harry Potter Series, and Sam's depiction of how games can help with anxiety disorders, such as, GAD.
Both presented their information uniquely. Trey had an HTML based Harry Potter distant reading in which anyone could pick apart any amount of the entire series. My question to him was whether or not he'd noticed patterns within the books, and if he did, if he thought they were done purposefully by J.K. or if they were done by her editors.
For Sam's piece, she expertly opened up her presentation with an animation that captured pretty much any gamer's workstation environment, as well as the emotions surrounding gaming. Her presentation was informative and very engaging which got a big plus from me! I look forward to seeing everyone's works!
