Serious Fun
I have spent all of my time on this portfolio running through significant aspects of my career as a graduate student. It occured to me that I should put in a few words about having a little fun with my assignments, which actually has some significance - I relaxed enough during the anxiety of being a graduate student to produce some light-hearted, yet technically correct, work. Please have a look if you like.
Good Eats and ARCS
I had never seen the Food Network show, Good Eats, prior to LIS 560 - a fun show like that deserves a fun treatment, I think. We were required to watch an episode and then analyze it in terms of its instructional methodology, specifically, how well it made use of the ARCS method. I give you
I am not the only one who had a good time:
"You'll pardon me if my comments are relatively sparse here--your paper's a
real treat to read at the end of the grading for this assignment."

Toy Story 2 and The Big 6
In LIS 568 we were asked to watch a movie, and then write about it in terms of an information literacy model. I chose Toy Story 2 and The Big 6. A little fatigued of writing in complete paragraphs, I'll admit, I decided on a more graphic representation.
"Your choice of "Toy Story Two" was an excellent one. I had not thought of that and I appreciate your use of graphics. This was an excellent synthesis of Eisenberg's model. With your permission I would like to be able to use this as an example."
