Non-graded Assignments???

Ok, I will be somewhat honest in this post. I personally think that making an assignment non-graded is good as long as it is not required. This week we had a non-graded assignment to make a video. It was to help us learn how to use video editing software and such.

That is a great idea, but what about us that already know how to use video editing software? It is non-graded but will be counted as a participation grade. If I'm going to be required to do the work, I would prefer to just get graded on it. I do the video recording, splicing, cutting, and burning for the wrestling team already. I feel pretty confident :P

Ok enough of that. Below is my video. It is a trailer for a Maplestory movie. The movie "Grinding: revenge of the strawberries" will never be made, but this is a trailer for it anyway. I did it for fun to show some of the other people that I play the game with. My students in class a few years ago go me to play Maplestory. It is a MMORPG that is simple but enjoyable. Since this assignment is not graded I didn't worry too much about the specs, but focused more on making it fun to watch.

Good video. It seems that you know what you are doing.
