I want to first start by saying that I was very excited to take the digital publishing course. When I came to Susquehanna, I didn’t really intend on writing an entire novel like some people in my major. I wanted to write screenplays, but along this journey, I’ve discovered a new love for poetry and…
Going into this course, I assumed it was going to be a more in-depth and more digital version of the ideas we talked about in Intro to Publishing in the fall. Although it was (to a certain degree), I feel like I got a lot more ideas from this class than I originally thought I…
When I decided to take this class, I expected to learn more about the publishing industry and the ways that digital publishing affect it. I expected to learn about the different platforms and media that are commonly used in digital publishing, and how to create things with those platforms and media. I thought the traditional…
When I first saw that this class was offered I was extremely excited, but also pretty scared because it was considered a higher level course than the ones I was supposed to take. I didn’t even know if I was even going to get into the class. When I think about it, I probably would…
I was not sure what I was expecting in this course my advisor said it was a new course and said I would probably like it so I took it. After that, I think about this course until it was time to actually take it. I’m not sure what learning goals I may have had…
I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from this class; I’d taken other classes that discussed digital publishing to some extent, but had never really gotten an overall definition of what digital publishing was or what kinds of things it involved. I hoped this class would give me more specific ideas about what digital publishing was and…
When I originally thought of a digital publishing course, I expected it would be like a small press publishing course, except we would collaboratively create a digital magazine instead of a chapbook (or some similar large project). However, I have to say that this course actually exceeded my expectations. I came in with a limited…
At the beginning of the class, I was very scared, as I did not know anyone taking the course and I wondered if the knowledge I gained in modern publishing would benefit me in the digital aspect of publishing. When I got to class on the first day, I was even more scared and very…
What were you expecting? How the class did/didn’t meet expectations? When I signed up for digital publishing, I was mainly signing up for it because I needed a 300-level English class. As the class comes to an end, however, I’m starting to realize that a lot of the information in this class is valuable in…
Based on the survey that was taken before the semester started, I was expecting more projects directly relating to different programs. I thought that we might do a project specifically with photoshop, a project specifically with movie editing software, a project specifically with GarageBand, etc. I didn’t realize how much freedom we would get with…
