I feel like the meetings and emailing worked well. the only thing I struggled with this year was trying to get the adobe products to work smoothly.

# data[].attributes.body
I found that while email was sometimes effective, most of the time I found that it was difficult to communicate. When you're getting 2 dozen emails today, some get lost and the ones from this class sometimes were the lost ones. The meetings worked well though and I felt like I was given time to communicate my thoughts.

I think it was great that we were able to connect with people without the hassle of them needing to commute to Cleveland each time. Zoom was a great method for meeting for Capstone this year. Also I appreciated email reminders, letting me know when to meet.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I would recommend the capstone year however I think it would have been much better if the whole year was in person learning and not from home. Because having someone teach you new software or tech is much better than doing it from home or by yourself.

I think the communication from teacher/mentor to student was very good, though as a student myself, we probably could have been better communicators.

I feel like I 100% improved from a creative stand point, not being able to think of ideas with pears made it difficult to come up with planned projects. I feel like I grew having to self manage as well. I don't know how much better I have gotten but this whole online schooling has definitely challenged me in that skill.

I feel like the rigor was high enough since I was matched with mentors that knew what they were doing in my area of study. I think I improved.

I felt like I was challenged simply by having to film everything by myself for the most part and getting motivation in depressing times. I think my skills did improve and that I put out some great work. The instruction was good but sometimes was all over the place with assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some of the prompts we were given were very good and sparked some nice ideas for sure. I think I am finishing now in a much more interesting area of study that I started the year in.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I was challenged. My mentor invited us things out of our comfort zone, because of that I was able to improve and grow my area of ability.

I wish I had access to better software such as adobe animate but I was still able to make do with what I had available. It was hard though, learning new software over and over.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my two mentors were very very useful and knew a lot about the subjects I was interesting in studying. They also had very good ideas for assignments and helped a lot with creators block moments.

# data[].attributes.body
I was inspired by my strive to put a smile on everyone's face. The last year was not a fun time but my need for a good laugh was what sparked my creative juices.

# data[].attributes.body
I've always had a hard time with the Passion projects being so open ended. Last year, I just didn't know what to do when instead of recieving assignments I was to create all my own. This is where I really appreciated the direction this year. My mentor created assignments that were opened ended, but gave a general basis. I was inspired to create and try new things because of it.

In person learning is much better when it comes to digital media.

I don't think I was ever bored or not excited with a project this year I feel like the open ended structure of most of them kept them exciting for me.

I dont think there were really any moments where she fell short. I think that, personally, I usually am able to complete work better and faster when the assignments are more specific in what to do/what they want to see, so when I get assignments that are really vague, its harder for me to come up with an idea of how to start.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my mentor was helpful in giving me tips for how to do specific things and being someone I could talk to about creating media that was actually in the business. I felt that sometimes he wasn't willing to crticize my actual work.

Doug was amazing this year he always made me feel like i should be excited to present my work, and he inspired me to look into some form of photography possibly as a career by showing me it can be fun. His genuine positivity made me excited to go shoot photos.

# data[].attributes.body
Doug was great!!! I don't think he fell short anywhere. Occasionally I would forget about a meeting, so having an email sent as a reminder could have been helpful. But usually he was an exceptional communicator-- even switching to text in order to be more convenient to us, his feedback was so helpful, and his projects were challenging and well organized.

# data[].attributes.body
I shined in my end products and ideas. I think the parts where I fells hort weren't seen by anyone else but me because it was mostly just lack of motivation or an unwillingness to take things one step further. Other than that, I think my projects were some of the best I have evr made.

She did wonderful! Not just this year but all four years of high school I have looked forward to this class.

# data[].attributes.body
I would recommend it since it has a lot of freedom and you can really express yourself but the freedom can sometimes lead to a unbalanced class where it's easy to forget you ahve work to complete for it and sometimes it can be confusing what you need to be working on. That being said, the freedom of the work makes it all worth it and an experience I would definitely recommend.

# data[].attributes.body
I really felt like my work shows my creativity this year. the minimal restrictions allowed me to do the work I wanted to with the intention of reaching a goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for all your help Mrs. Hughes, you were very flexible during the pandemic and organized this amazing opportunity to meet with professionals in our field of interest, its not everyday we can do that.

# data[].attributes.body
10000000% this was the year that made me think as a main job or a hobby i want to continue shooting photos no matter what.

# data[].attributes.body
It's fun to have the freedom but it's gonna feel a lot more independent than previous classes.

# data[].attributes.body
My projects were creative and all me which I loved. That being said, the pandemic limited what I could do and some of the really big ideas i wanted to use were just impossible to be made.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was great! I don't know how practical meeting with mentors would be post-quarantine, as we really took advantage of the online classes. But connecting with Doug was super beneficial for me and I hope other students get the opportunity to work with mentors in this style as well.
