review so far

so my blogging skills seem to be a little below par so far this term. in my attempt to resurrect this i will write a short little review of me experience in the course as of such. working on our third project an audio capture and creation of a sound scape, i have ideas rushing through me. the last two projects have gotten my creative juices flowing and not only am i very excited to construct these assignments but have been very proud of the product i am producing.
the first assignment i didn't wrap my mind around the full concept and as a result i wasn't very satisfied with my piece. the criticism i received were very true. i didn't use this non-linear medium in the fashion it was intended to be used. My html website felt very rigid and directed and didn't give the user very much freedom. although i thought i created a theme and maintained it very nicely throughout.
i will post my veiws on the other projects at a later point, but my only criticism is that i feel the lectures are too short. i would much rather have a 2 hour lecture. i find the material very interesting but there is not enough time to get through it all, or go in depth about anything. its just a general overview over so many different ideas. it is great b/c we can in turn take the initiative to go deeper into what we find more interesting, but a 2 hour lecture i feel would be much more beneficial.
