First off, it is imperative to your New Media career to take this class at least once! Where to begin with explaining this course? I have learned so much from this class, mainly about myself, from simply just talking through out thought processes. Seeing Sideways covers literally anything and everything that you want it to. Just like with any other course there are assignments, attendance is mandatory, but as to what you get from the course is entirely up to you!
Some of the classes started out with the topic of choice that Beth had in mind but would end up on a completely and entirely different subject! Any questions that someone would have in the class would spark a different discussion. Some of the bigger topics that stick out in my mind are the topics on religion, ethics in the New Media field, and college in general.
Looking back at this semester, there isn't one thing or anything really that I could say about this class that would give a prospective student any further idea of what the course is like. The bottom line is if you are wanting to find out more about yourself as a person, student, and professional, enjoy the creative process and all the different aspects of it? THEN TAKE THIS CLASS!

October 25 Class
This class shaped up to be one of the best in my opinion. It dealt with real world issues that I personally can relate to as well as others could I'm sure. Don't get me wrong I love going to Beth's class but sometimes the topics tend to get so far out there that the real world seems to be the fake and not our specific topic of discussion.
Being in the same shoes as my fellow classmate, in the regard of being skeptical of showing my work at times, I really gained a lot just by hearing everyones input. I never have really been concerned of what people thought of the preliminary stages of the project at hand but when it comes to the final product, I like most am quite sensitive. Its nice to hear that I am by far not the only one somewhat struggling with this issue.
I love what I am doing in school and starting to do in the real world. Almost without a doubt, one of the biggest issues that has been on my mind is the infamous portfolio. What to put in it, how to go about making it, and so on. The list literally runs on forever the more I think about it. After touching on some of the topics in class it was really nice to hear what is best to put in and honestly how the majority of employers view it; just as you dress it! After putting a little more thought into the topic post-class, this oh so cloudy image of a portfolio started to become much more clear and the idea has slowly been developing since class yesterday. Honestly I certainly hope that we have a lot more classes like this previous one. It, for me, gets the juices flowing the best and well once they get to going watch out! I am absolutely blown away by how this creative thought train, which I use to ride all the time in high school and my freshman year at IUPUI, has built up more steam than it ever had before. Needless to say thanks Beth for the kickass class!

October 11 Class
Honestly, for once, I don't have a lot to say. Today's class really was rather "normal" compared to some of the others that we have had. I didn't think that the class discussion that we had would go quite as smoothly as it did. It was nice to actually see that I am not the only one that is experiencing some of the things that I am. This was nice considering, although I hear that most do, I tend to think that I was the lone bird going through this type of I guess would say predicament. Starting to think that when I or really anyone for that matter starts questioning things around her/his self, it seems to almost alienate us more than just going with the flow; even if it isn't what we see as agreeable.
