Howdy hey, I’m Sherry. I am a 4th/5th year Health Information Science student on my last study term. After this semester I will have one more co-op term before I am set to graduate, which I am very excited for! I am simply just a funky little guy trying to find my way through life. Most of that life so far has been sat in front of a computer screen playing video games and binge watching anything I can grab my grubby little claws on ;-;. So why not at least learn somethings while I listlessly watch a YouTube video on my second monitor.
The principle that resonated with me the most out of the 4 principles from Mayer’s Theory, that were introduced this week, was the coherence principle. Staying on topic is something that I really struggle with and it can show in my writing and when I speak to people. It can make presenting difficult when I find myself focusing on a tangent that has no right taking up as much time as it does. Although I find it is definitely an issue that not just I struggle with. There have been many lectures that I have attended that have me thinking “why are we talking about this now and how is it important to the subject?”.
Hello! This is a nice introduction and show of character, and I whole heartedly agree with your reasoning for taking the course. YouTube is definitely one of my main hobbies too, and it will be interesting to learn how YouTube videos might be considered multimedia and so forth.
