Music Stop Animation

I chose the topic music for my stop animation. I chose this because it is a huge part of my life, and I can not live without it. This was a little more challenging than I expected it to be, because I was not as advanced to sync the pictures with the music. I thought this would have been on the easier and fun side of technology, but just like every other project there is always some challenge and something to learn. I would rate my stop animation around a 6 or 7 because it did not turn out as cool as I wanted it to be. I was hoping I could use my artistic abilities to create a fun and cool looking project, but apparently all my abilities go down the drain when it comes to white boards. I would have better time management and better positioning of the camera. I wanted it to look more like a fun way of creating a music video, but that plan backfired. I believe that my animation was different than the rest because, I used a personal topic to me and created a fun way to show what I do with any free time I have. My music shows my personality and that song was my absolute favorites, "Skinny Love." I do not think I completely deserve a full 100% just because I know I could have done better with what time I had, and put more effort to look and find the pictures that did not focus completely or were weird looking. I did learn many things and new programs, and the next time I do something like this I know what I can fix.

Unethical Practice

I believe that people use unethical practices in academics when they are stressed and have a lot on their plate. This way they do not have to do all of the work that they are required to do. I personally believe Sandra and Mahomid's case should have not been as harsh. Most people would not think of working with a friend do a paper when someone says plagiarism. I thought to be expelled by this action was a severe consequence. Especially for Sandra who did her work. With the act plagiarism on their record they will have a harder time finding another college to go to, that will accept them. This will travel along with them for all of their life. If any of them wanted to become a writer or a journalist, they would have a harder more difficult time finding a job that will trust them to write in their own words. This also applies with any job, they will all have harder times with people trusting them. I have not decided on the college I want to attend but, I do know that between the ones I am deciding on there is still a huge consequence for any use of plagiarism.
