Week 1 Journal

Week one of class was such a great week, it felt wonderful to be back on campus with my friends. I am always so excited for the first weeks of school, and nervous too. I wonder if I will like my coursework and professors and if I will survive the academic year. After the first week however, I feel like I can confidently say I can!

 I am super excited for this course. To be honest, I did know what to expect. A few weeks before school began, the Honors College notified me the course I was previously enrolled in was cancelled, so I asked if I could be enrolled in this course and I am so glad I am! I enjoyed learning and hearing about many conspiracies I previously had no idea about, such as the Waco siege. I also found the terms "yellow journalism" and "snake oil" interesting. 

I am excited to learn more about truth especially in the world of AI. I find it so interesting at the beginning of every school year how every teacher, class, and academic department has a different take on the usage of AI. In one or two of my classes AI is encouraged. In others, we sign pledges to never ever use it.

    Great first blog post, thanks. I am really glad you were able to enroll, and I look forward to working with you. There are so many conflicting policies about AI. But it's here, students are using it, and it cannot be banished. My thought--let's deal with it.

Week 6 --- The Talented Mr. Ripley

 This week, after the rainy period, I am looking forward to some better weather! It was my partner Lauren and I's turn to take on the presentation this week. I thought all my classmates before me did an excellent job and I knew I had to have some big shoes to fill-- they were all great and interactive. Personally, I loved watching The Talented Mr. Ripley. I told my mom I was doing the presentation and she mentioned it was one of her favorite films, I can see why! I thought the cast was great and the Italian scenery was magnificent. It made me really want to go. The plot was also super interesting and the whole movie was super engaging. I thought it was thrilling enough without it being scary.  It was intriguing to analyze Tom Ripley as a character and connect it back to the class relating to truth and scamming. It was hard to hate him as a character even after he did many messed up things.  I also had a great time meeting with my partner Lauren, she is really great! We bo...

Week 3 -- Deepfakes

 This week has been one of the busiests in my college career thus far... but we are pushing through! I liked learning about deepfakes, although the topic was frightening to me. I realized with the advancement of technology how hard it is to determine what is real vs a deep fake. I thought the presenters did a great job of informing us on the topic. I liked how Anna Buesos shared a paper worksheet where we had to guess which is real and which is fake, none of us got it right. The presentations and TikToks that were shared especially baffled me because I genuinely could not decipher what was real and what was fake, it really made me think about the topic of this course, True or false, I DON'T KNOW! hahaha I also liked making the Deepfake of you dancing. I hope you also got a good laugh out of it, and your wife as well. It was scary how easy it was for me too do that for free. Now imagine if I was using a paid program or had any programing skills and time.... crazy! Deepfakes like the...

Werewolves

 I found the Werewolf articles quite interesting. During Halloween time, when the weather starts to get cold and rainy like today, and I watch the Twilight movies, I always think of werewolves, but never the 4,000 year old history behind them. I think that the werewolf became a legend and a terror because during the time, people lived in a world shaped by superstition, political clashes, religion as a source of fact, violence, and a belief in things like the devil. I think this relates to the witch trials because when things happen mysteriously without an obvious reason or when bad things happen in general, people need a cause or a reason to blame others for the problem. Similarly, legends of werewolf superstitions led to a witch hunt, and I thought the idea of Bisclarvet was interesting. Just like the "witches" in Salem, accused werewolves such as Pierre Burgot, Michel Verdun, Giles Garnier, and Peter Stumpp were tied to magic. I had no idea 30,000 people  were executed as w...
