Your Internet History and College

-
Yesterday in e9 we read and article that talked about how colleges are looking at applicants internet history to see what kind of post your making online. The article said that young "tech-savvy" people were researching the history of applicants to determine whether or not that applicate should be accepted into that school. This new system gives college students the power to report applicants who post inappropriate or explicit language in their post. This method of accepting applicants isn't used everywhere, in fact only a small portion of college use this method due to the massive about of applicants they have to sort through.

I believe that the way the system is currently set up, it is hardly as effective as it could be in the future. The system could easily be exploited because if a student knew an applicants full name and wanted to ruin their chances of being accepted into a college with this system that person could just create an account using their name and fill that account with inappropriate posts. Another possibility is an applicant with the same name as a person who post inappropriate posts filled with an excessive amount of expletives could be mistake for that person. The applicate could be denied entry into that college without the college even informing the applicate of the reason why they were denied entry in the first place. If such issues are resolved then the system of selecting applicants might be more beneficial in the future.

Write a summary of the article, identifying the three key points. A new software makes animation easier through the use of MoCurves. MoCurves allow multiple parts of a model to be accelerated and decelerated in real time. Discuss the author’s argument. The author has come to the conclusion that MoCurves will eventually replace key frames and become the standard for most animation studios. Due to the unique function of MoCurves, which can transform multiple motion cycles at once unlike key frames which, despite their accuracy, can only transform motion cycles separately. What information/evidence and sources does he/she use to support that argument? The author provides a video explaining how key frames work and how MoCurves are superior to them. They also provide a brief summary of a study performed with 5 students without any experience with animation software to prove the superiority of MoCurves over key frames. What are the article’s/author’s strengths and

My Personality Type

ISTP Personality Type In e9 we took multiple versions of the Myers-Briggs personality test. In all versions of the test that I had taken I was an ISTP. An ISTP is someone who is observant and has an understanding of mechanics. ISTP types are also good at responding to emergencies and are attentive to detail and responsive to the world around them. A famous person who shares my personality type is Stanley Kubrick, a filmmaker. Does it match? I don't really think the ISTP matches my personality. I'm not very observant of the world around me. While I am reserved I am also withdrawn. I'm also not adaptable or independent. Often I rely on other people. During emergencies I tend to panic rather than keep my cool and deal with it. I don't think my personality type explains why I am the way I am or why I gravitate toward certain activities over others. Does my personality type explain aspects of myself? My personality type does explain why I've preferred to work

ABC Sequence

The assignment was to create a video focusing on the sequence of a video. The project required multiple shots to make any jump cuts less noticeable. We began the project by making a storyboard. The storyboard took a few attempts because we had to add pictures and redraw the story board. Next we checked out the necessary equipment and began filming. Filming the video took many attempts because there were many teachers and other students constantly walking by during the video. We also had to improvise some of the shots taken due to complications. Complications such as the front doors of the school having an alarm system that goes off if they're propped open for too long. Finally after taking all the necessary shots my partner and I downloaded our videos and began the process of editing our videos. I learned that taking the same shot over and over from different angles can greatly improve a video. The removal of jump cuts can also improve a video by making the progression of a video
