Course Audit Feedback 2
In which I awkwardly try to explain my thoughts, part two. Taking this course as audit-only meant that my anxiety about getting a good grade was significantly eased, but it also meant that there was a risk I would feel like I was putting a lot of work in for no reward. HOWEVER, I was…

Final Project
In which I make a plan for another Omeka site. Because I am an audit-only student, and am currently in near-panic mode with my thesis (to be fair, panic mode never truly begins nor ends, when you’re in graduate studies), I unfortunately did not have time to do a full-scale Final Project as outlined in…

Inherent Biases in Large Language Model (LLM)
In which I try to interpret bias and confuse the heck out of myself. Using the Mot Bot intrustion page (https://dlinq.middcreate.net/detox-2024/activity/not-all-knowing/), I mucked about with some really basic prompts before i got the hang of it.

I have been thinking a lot about the role and function of digital humanities, too, which…

Creating a Timeline
In which I misread some instructions but persevere. I can definitely appreciate the uses of Timeline — the one frustration I encountered was inserting images in the form of URLs. Probably my own fault, but I had a very hard time finding photos available online that were both available to use freely and available online.…

Final Project Proposal
In which I try to explain a project idea that is hopefully realistic. During a class discussion last year, we were examining YA novels and the topic turned to mental health. A couple of students posited that anxiety and depression are so prevalent now because we spend too much time on our phones, and aren’t…

Spinning a Yarn With Twine
In which I write a mediocre game (no shame). I have to admit, I know very little about games, or gaming. I have played video games, but I am really picky and have never really enjoyed the “point and shoot games” and unfortunately, for a very long time I incorrectly assumed that is what most…

Using Microsoft Copilot
In which I try to communicate effectively with AI.

Working With OCR
In which I try to reason with my phone.
