CCA Confidential

My final type experiment book is due today, after 4 weeks of solid work. I ll post all about it later, but for now, it’s back to InDesign.

I almost missed my 4pm typeograghy class. The time on old computer is wrong.

Jason handed back grades for our Graphic Design I logo projects. He is a strict grader. It was my impression that most people got B and C. It is almost impossible to get an A. Jason grades on four criteria, process, concept, presentation, function. Each category is give a grade between 4 and 0, just like letter grades. The four are added then averaged. So unless you get 4.0 on everyone category, the best you can hope for is an -A.

Here are my grades

• Process: 3.88
• Concept: 4.0
• Presentation: 3.85
• Function: 3.65

I guess I really needed to work on my Function area, which he describes as “clarity of communication and legibility of image.”

Edit

My cumulative grade is 3.85 or an -A.

I just realized how annoying it must be for those of you who are subscribed via email, to receive my Stream Of Thoughts. So I have removed it from the content that is send via email subscription. RSS users will still receive it, I don’t think it will bother anyone there. If anyone has any thoughts on the topic. Leave a comment, or shoot me an email.

I just got home, and I missed the delivery of my new Macbook Pro. NO! I will have to wait until tomorrow.

There was a small hiccup in my twitter account when I upgraded my site. Sorry all who got spammed repeat RSS content.

The course schedule for fall 2008 is out. Here is the link, if you don’t have it:

It looks like I am going to have a horrid schedule again. I am not even sure what classes I am going to be taking. I’ve talked to Kern, my tools instructor, and he agrees that I shouldn’t take Tools II (web design). The classes are too simple for me, and I should spend my time doing something else.

I think I’ll go talk to a councilor, about what I should take. Anyone have suggestions?
