Protest top hat reading


 When reading the top hat Reading to complete your assignment one notices that there are five factors that go into performance.  They are speed, visuals, performance, inclusiveness and masked. This chapter mostly focused on protest and using those theories and explaining how the protest works with the theories. In this particular blog post I like to focus on the use of speed. When conducting a protest one needs to be able to react quickly and be mobile with their decisions. This allows various protest movements such as black lives matter and other protesters mentioned in this chapter to hold a successful protest movement. For me I feels like a successful protest must-have visualization speed and performance in order to convey a message across a wide array of people.  When reading this it was interesting because one would probably never think about the factors that go into making a protest when they’re trying to go against a norm of some kind.

Top Hat reading post



 For my next blog post I would like to talk about Chapter 4 on top hat. It discusses the use of algorithms. According to top hat, algorithms are a set up as step-by-step instructions in order to perform a task at hand or get something done (Top Hat). Websites have many algorithms that we may or may not know about in order to fully use them. Humans have types of algorithms because we need instructions in order to perform certain tasks at hand. For example, when writing a paper, one may need to have a prompt. Later on in the chapter it says humans teach machines algorithms. This goes well with practicing something in order to get good at it. Looking at it in this perspective is a unique idea and one could argue that humans have some type of algorithm similar to machines that use some type of code based language.

Post about the actual presentation on Thursday


 For my next blog post I would like to talk about my group’s presentation and how we well did.  Our group presentation for our project was on Thursday and we presented to the class.  My group chose the popular TV show friends and analyzed the five stages of group dynamics according to the reading.  We had a little technical difficulty because we couldn’t access part of our website but we managed to pull it all together and we were right at 10 minutes where we needed to be. From this experience, we learn what to do and what not to do when presenting. Through various group meetings we were able to finally solidify the ideas for each member of the group. I’m not the biggest fan group projects but I will try to be more open to this idea in the future since we may have some more in this class.

Final Blog post

I would say that this class has been very interesting for me. I enjoyed learning the different aspects of group work and how to function i...
