Simple Tables to Graphs

For my table and graph I chose to look into the differences of where students are from at RWU. I looked up percentages and formed a table graph then a line graph. It was interesting to see that most of the students are from the New England and also that we have 2% of international students. We also have a large amount of students from the Tri-state area, which is New york, New Jersey, Connecticut. I found all these results interesting because I am from California and there is a small amount from the west coast. It is interesting being from a totally different area and from a completely different coasts. The people are much different and I get asked the same question almost more than once a week, "Why did you come all the way from California to RWU?" I get asked this question all the time. Sometimes it just gets too much or too funny and i get sick of answering. Overall, It was fun too make the two graphs and see the difference between them.

Flow Chart

The flow chart that I did describes the thought process of buying a book on Amazon.com. In the chart I had two decision diamonds that asked the questions of buying a book and then the distraction or temptation of buying a new phone. I felt that when you are on website looking to purchase things you can easily get distracted but another product. This flow chart ends up going back and making the right choice of buying the book. I thought this was an interesting way of thinking and processing a action. It took me a couple of tries to figure out the right pattern but it made me think a lot about how to perceive steps and process them correctly.

Also, I labeled the different parts and structures of the Basal Ganglia to show you how detailed it is and how there is just not one part to it. The Basal Ganglia is a part of the brain that is responsible for learning, emotions and cognition. Each part of the basal ganglia controls a certain function of movement or emotion. This is a very crucial part of where Tourette Syndrome and other diseases such as Huntington's, Schizophrenia, mental and physical disorders come from. From dealing with Tourette Syndrome all my life I felt that it was important to recreate a good representation of what the Basal Ganglia looks like.

Spaghetti Paste

For my Spaghetti Pasta dinner I first made a quick sketch on a blank piece of paper to decide how I would plan out the steps. I wanted to show all the necessary materials and cooking supplies that you would need. Then I went ahead and drew the steps. It was was hard to make each step flow correctly but feel that I managed to do it as best as I could. I wanted to have meatballs in my pasta but I could not figure out a way to show the process of making meatballs. My favorite part of the drawing is pouring the tomato sauce on the spaghetti. I then also showed a final picture of what the dinner plate would look like. I had fun drawing this sketch and then after I finished I actually made my self a paste dinner, but with meatballs.
