Lecture Summary, Sept 10

Messy Notes. :/

Progress on the Beast

I still feel the need to stab myself.

Final Four Dots

For the critique of my circles, my group said things like I had wide variety in the placement of my circles, and that I had a good variation in size. But I did have an average of mostly big dots, and had a lot of one certain size, which was a Gatorade top. I didn’t have any really small dots though. I think the smallest size that I had was the top of a hand sanitizer keychain I have. The majority of all my circles went in some general direction, also. On the page of circles that is on the bottom right, my proximity one, my group suggested that I move the five bottom dots a little bit further away from the larger one on the top, to kind of spread it out a little bit more. I think that the pages of dots that my group picked were some of my strongest ones, so I really didn’t feel the need to choose any other ones. Sorry that this isn’t exactly long enough, but I’m not quite sure what else to write.

Sorry it's out of order.
