Questions and Concerns from Questionnaire #1
- I’m excited to create something cool/interesting! (it honestly doesn’t have to look good at this point I just wanna create something interesting) ● Can’t wait to be in this class!! ● I just really want to create more work that I’m proud of!
- coding experience is a major concern. I’ve only taken 110 and will be taking 112 this semester, not sure if I can catch up with the level of difficulty. ● It’s been awhile since I’ve coded actively on a project so it will take a bit for me to get used to it again but I really hope to push myself this semester to learn and practice
- terrified of the workload. i’m also taking very heavy work load courses this sem ;(
- Nothing too particular. I’m a very anxious person, so I hope it all goes well this time
- I am curious as how AI art will be addressed in this course. Obviously there are a lot more topics in creative coding besides AI, but given its rise in ability I’m wondering if it will end up invalidating/overshadowing certain creative coding ideas.
