Tech Tip: Canvas Calendar

Currently, I am allocating all of my available free time towards working ahead in this class since my other classes do not have assignments published yet. As classes begin to kick into gear, the Canvas Calendar will undoubtedly begin to be useful to ensure that I complete all the assignments for a given week. Previously, for my other classes, the Canvas Calendar has provided me with important dates to keep track, such as assignment due dates and meetings with instructors. I also like how you can toggle the listings for different classes or personal events to customize what you want to view at any particular time. As is the case with most online courses, time management will play a key role into being successful in this class. I will need to be sure I closely monitor the Canvas Calendar so I do not miss any important assignment due dates. I will try to keep working ahead so that I can prioritize my time better towards my other engineering classes, especially my Capstone class. Overall, the Canvas Calendar will help keep me organized and keep track of important information for each of my courses.

Introduction to Jackie the Soon-to-be-Grad

Image
Here's a little about me! I'm a senior here at the University of Oklahoma majoring in mechanical engineering. The coolest about my major is that I get to learn more about the structural mechanics in everyday components that people tend to take for granted. The best class I took last semester was Design Thermal-Fluid Systems because it emphasized engineering theory with real-world applications and results. Over break, I went back home to a little undiscovered nook tucked away in southeastern Oklahoma. See the below photo taken in my very own backyard to envision the beauty of the natural landscape that Oklahoma has to offer. Jackie's Backyard - Personal Image In terms of career goals, I plan to work as an engineer in the automotive field in the near future. I have already accepted a full-time position at Michelin North America and have also already completed two internship rotations with them. My favorite part about working with them is that there is always something...

Week 15 Story: The Huntsman

Image
I spent my days wandering the woods, hunting for deer and boar. This was my livelihood, and with my rewards from my hunt, I provided for my lovely wife and young daughter. I dearly loved them both and did my best to care for them. One day, one of the king's messengers sent for me. I obliged to come forth, though I questioned why he would summon such a common huntsman as myself. I later learned that the queen had summoned me to do away with her step-child. She loathed the child greatly, for the child had grown to so beautiful that the queen's beauty paled in comparison. The queen bade me to lead her step-child, Snow-White, in the middle of the woods and take her heart out as a token of the treacherous deed. Now, I was reluctant at first, for I was unwilling to kill such a young and fair maiden. Still, the queen persisted, offering large amounts of gold and silver to me. Knowing that I should do well to support and care for my own family, I agreed to do her bidding. So, I l...

Microfiction: How a Hawk Gave a Feather to an Arrow

Image
Story 1 || 25 words: An Indian saved a young hawk, whose feathers provided flight. The arrow adorned with the feather of the hawk flies straight and meets its mark. Story 2 || 100 words: A baby hawk fell from his nest, too young and helpless to fly. The hawk would surely would have been eaten if it were not for a young Indian boy who found him. The young boy raised the hawk until he could fly, yet the hawk stayed with him. The young boy made arrows that could not steer straight and faltered in the breeze. The clever hawk drew his own feather and adorned it to the arrow, which now flew as straight as the hawk. The villagers gave a great shout, as now their arrows flew straight through the air. Red-Shouldered Hawk - Courtesy of eBird Author's Note: For this set of microfictions, I wanted to experiment with different levels of detail for my stories. I adopted a story that the Caddo people told of how a baby hawk was rescued by a little boy, and now gave his feather so th...
