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…
For this course, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I had an idea of some of the elements that would be involved—for example, website building, hypertext, and minor HTML coding. Other than that, though, I didn’t know what the coursework would look like. As for my own personal goals, I guess that I wanted…
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…
The readings and discussions on topics such as rhetoric, audience, multimedia, and transmedia were beneficial in introducing theory to be implemented in our projects. However, I would have preferred slightly less time spent discussing these readings, and less readings overall, to be replaced with more time spent discussing/critiquing examples of digital works and tutorials on…
