Class Discussion

This week's class was very informative for me. It really did a lot for giving me an idea what the expectations of a capstone are, and more clearly defining the idea of capstones for me. I haven't been able to attend a capstone event yet since I've been in school (I've tried to go to the last two, but things came up at the last minute that prevented me) so it was good to get more of an idea. Even though I already know what I'm doing for capstone, it still helped to know more about it. I was particularly interested in the discussion of playing is safe vs. taking risks. My project is somewhat safe for me, with several areas in which it does push myself and is more risky. When the topic came up I somewhat expected to hear that students should really push themselves and take risks. I was somewhat surprised to hear that students should stay safer and, though it is a balancing act, safer is good. I feel like my project is a good blend of the two, so I feel better about it now.
