Week 8 Progress

I am making really good progress in this class, and expect to be done before the end of March. The storybook I am doing is something I am really proud of, and I am glad everyone seems to be enjoying it. It's nice to make something that other people feel invested in, and that is one of my favorite parts of this class.

My weekly schedule has changed quite a bit. Now I mainly work on Tuesday and Thursday, and try to get a lot done at once. I try to leave my weekends free so I spend more time on this class during the week than I planned. The extra credit options have helped me go through this class faster though, and I enjoy working on them.

Looking ahead, I need to make sure I stay on schedule and don't let other things get in the way of taking care of business in this class. At the same time, I need to work hard to get this class done so the hard push in April isn't that hard, and I can relax a bit. Over the next month I want to get better at writing dialogue for my storybook and brush up on my grammar skills (which have atrophied significantly due to engineering classes).

Introduction to a Robotics Nerd: Justin

Hi everyone! My name is Justin Kleiber, and I am a senior in Computer Engineering. My passion is robotics, which is the main reason I ended up choosing my major. At OU, I am the president of Sooner Competitive Robotics, which is one of the engineering college's competition teams (hit me up if you want to join!). I also do research on campus, where I mainly work on making a quadcopter fly around without a pilot controlling it. I help a group of high school students in OKC build and program a robot for the FIRST robotics competition, a worldwide high school robotics program. I love robotics, and as such, robots tend to surround my life. A picture I took of the research drone flying in its cage Additionally, I am really competitive and love sports. I've gone to every home OU football game in the four years I have been here, as well as to the Rose Bowl, the Peach Bowl, and two Red River Shootout games. Growing up, I was a huge Virginia Tech fan because my parents went there

Week 2 Story: The Oppressed

The Oppressed Ten years ago, a dictator rose to power in a small, poverty stricken nation after a long civil war. The nation was torn, shops closed, infrastructure crumbled, and only the wealthy and strong had access to the already small rations of food and water the country could produce. To the citizens, it seemed like the rest of the world had forgotten about them, and low on food, many wondered if they would be able to survive much longer in their current situation. However, the nation was under many sanctions and the dictator did not allow anyone to emigrate - the oligarchs could not live their lavish lifestyle without the working class. It was common in those days to look for a way out - no foreign aid or the alliance of nations seemed to help, and sometimes even scoffed at the plight of the oppressed people in this nation. However, no way was forthcoming until one day in June, during a big drought, a man named Cane drove through the capital city advertising his service to sm
