Note Taking

My usual note taking style is to take hand-written notes during class on the high points in a lecture. However, if the teacher or professor moves too quickly through information, I may move to typing my notes so I can get down as much information as possible. I don't like to type the notes because I get distracted by the computer during class, which happens less when I am hand writing notes.

Powerful Image

This image was taken during the Holocaust. You can tell because of the poor living conditions these men are being subjected to. You can also tell by the condition of their bodies. They are thin; their skin is stretched to cover their bones. You can tell they are malnourished. Some of them are hurt and have poor quality bandages. This is an impactful image because as the viewer, you begin to care for these men who are smiling into the camera even though their lives are inadequate; they are subjected to live in poor conditions that are cramped and dirty.
