Final Blog Post Reflection

I originally took the Creative and Design class because it was the only class that fit into my schedule. The description described it as a computer design type class with HTML and such so I figured why not. The first day it was made clear that the description was misleading and was not written by the teacher in charge of the class. Although different than what I originally thought it would be the first week seemed ok. We did lots of small activities that were aimed and encouraging us to think creatively and it was fun. I particularly enjoyed when we were given materials and had to move a ball from point A to point B. Building the tallest paper tower was fun as well. Unfortunately as we moved on I found out that the class wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I enjoyed short little activities that could be done in a class, while we moved into longer projects. Our last project was designing a pump. A lot of people in our class excelled at it and while I think it was a fine idea, I just didn't enjoy it. Allow me to speak  bluntly, but I just didn't really care about making a pump. Nothing negatively to do with the teacher, I just was not a fan of designing pumps. Overall the class was alright. I just wish it had stuck with what we had been doing at the beginning because I found that significantly more enjoyable.
