Week 13

I started off the week shadowing Sharon and Victoria. Sharon was creating a site meeting and was making a doodle. She took this opportunity to show me how to create a doodle as well as quiz me and take suggestions from me on what content  to put into a site meeting. Luckily, the color printer needed a change of black toner. I’ve never changed the toner for a color printer before so this was a great learning opportunity. I noticed the body of the toner is much smaller that what I was used to, but otherwise it was as easy as changing a regular toner. For the remainder of the shadowing period, I was allowed to work on my Google Site. This week I was due to present!

When I shadowed Glen later that day, we discussed scheduling. He asked me if anyone has gone over scheduling with me, in which I responded with yes (Sharon allowed me to schedule as an exercise). Glen also asked me for my critique on the current system of scheduling. I personally think there are flaws. There are times during live sign up where I was scrambling for my last hour to fill my requirement. I think it would be more fair to cap the hours at the minimum. Then everyone will have enough to fill their quota. After 24 hours, it can be opened up for people that want to work more.

On Friday, Adrienne allowed me to come in an hour earlier because I had to practice the final presentation with Jin Wei. During the shadow period, she allowed me to work on the Google Site as I awaited emails, velaro messages, and phone calls. She gave me tips and tricks to presenting and assured me that I would do fine.

During class time, three groups presented. The first group was Nick Cheung and John Tom, who presented on the media lab in TLL. Unfortunately, the internet crashed during their presentation so they had to present without their Google Site. In my opinion, they did great with the set back! Next was me and Jin Wei. After all the practice we had presenting, I think we did great. Truthfully, I was terrified. I was stammering and shaking but I did the best I could and I think that’s good enough! Lastly, we had Kyeong, Jarrell, and Carol present on the faculty center. Their website was chock full of information and their group interaction wasn’t too bad either.

Quote of the week!
