Our First Video Project

For our first video project at first I wasn’t sure what I was going to do and just immediately started freaking out about it when I thought about the fact of having to do that on my own. I finally decided I’d think about it for a couple days and I finally was able to think about the question I was going to ask and who I was going to ask, but it still scared me more than anything. After meeting with Professor Guarino it made me feel more at ease with her really explaining what she was looking for and how we could set it up. I also watched a couple of the examples that our professor posted on her blog and those also really helped me get a complete idea of what was expected of us. I decided that since I live on campus that my question that I’m going to ask is why it’s more beneficial living on campus for freshman than commuting. I think that us living here really helps us get eased into college so that way we’re used to living for the next four years. So I’m really interested in what they think and why they think it’s more beneficial. For my two upperclassmen I plan on asking them what in their opinion they believe is better for freshman for commute, or live on campus. I have a feeling they’re going to say commute because they both commute. I also plan on asking one of my CCs the same question, what they think is more beneficial with freshman living on campus or commuting. I think this question is important because there are probably facts on which freshman do overall academically better, freshman who live on campus or freshman who commute. I think this will make an interesting video because it’s a question that incoming freshman ask themselves, and their parents all the time.
