Neighborhood analysis assignment due on February 6

In class today we reviewed the guidelines for the neighborhood analysis assignment; see guidelines here.  Your presentation should be about 5 minutes long and make use of the voice memos and videos you recorded and photos you took. Use Prezi, PowerPoint, or other presentation software to create your presentation. The first hour of our February 6 class meeting will be devoted to finishing up your presentations.

We reviewed a few mapping websites in class: NYCityMap, which displays aerial photographs from 1924-2012 (choose Map Type menu on upper right) and OASIS, best for displaying land use. The New York Public Library’s Digital Collections are a great place to search for historic primary sources, and OldNYC.org geolocates historic photos from the NYPL collection on a map of New York City.

Looking forward to your presentations next week. Please get in touch with any questions about the assignment.

Reflection #1

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college? I would say I have a lot of experience in research. I have done research in High School as well as in College for general and advanced research courses.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major? I expect that this class will heighten my geographical knowledge and teach me more about different cultures. This class supports my major because the Hospitality Management industry will expose me to all cultures, languages, and places.

Initial Reflection

My level of research isn’t the best because I have always problems getting the best and accurate information but I want to be better by getting a valid and verifiable such that whatever I conclude on the basis of finding correct and be verified by me and others.

I would like to be able to do research in any category knowing all the aspect that requires a good research and the importance of it. What it contains based on the research the concepts behinds it such as collecting information analyzing and solving a specific problem. I want to apply everything that I’m going learn doing research to my major by addressing directly and indirectly some real problems in the world

Initial Class Reflection

      During my time at city tech, I have been required to research multiple different topics from medical applications of 3D printing to supporting topics for an English paper.  I would say from my experience in the college I have a decent understanding of how to research different topics.  while I may be able to find sources for a paper I may be writing, I am not the best at putting those sources onto paper.

My expectation for this class toward my major is that it will hopefully teach me more about the city that I will be working in and may give me the history of a place I could be working at in the future.  I hope that it may give me an idea about New York city’s history behind some of its most famous buildings and being able to see those buildings outside of the class room.

Initial class reflection- Christopher Leon

My level of experience of doing research in college is mediocre. When it comes to research paper I can complete the task and requirement that is need in the research. But when the topic is new or boring it will take me a lot longer to finish the task.

My expectation for this class supports me in computer system is like give me a better understand of doing research in a much faster way.  Giving me idea on how finish assignment in time and later let see what else i can learn new.

Reflection 1

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

My level of experience doing research in college in a scale from 1 to 10 would be an 8. I have been in school for a while and have had the opportunity to work in varies types of research. Research in architecture, buildings, and structures all the way to historical references and public figures. I also believe I have much more to learn and acquire better and faster ways to do research.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

The expectation I have for this class for supporting other classes in my major would be to obtain better knowledge of NYC, learning more about its architecture and becoming more knowledgeable regarding research and sketching. This will complement my major, Architecture Tech.

Initial Reflection

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?
Conducting research has always been difficult for me. I would consider myself a beginner in doing research. Doing research seems challenging because there is too much information in the database and for me it is difficult to narrow down key words.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?
My expectation for this class is to improve my research skills and to conduct more accurate and more effective research.

Initial Reflection

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

My level of experience doing research in college is low. I only had one research class a year ago and I might forget the steps to do it. I believe there are many more things I need to learn about doing research paper.

 

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

My expectation for this class supporting my classes in my major is it will help me get through more research paper in other classes in a better way. Also, improving my English skills of writing the papers.

Reflection 1

-How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

-What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

Doing research has been a good experience so far for me. Even though the research that I did was related with English Language and social issues topic (that are not my main interests), I enjoyed reading articles or visiting newspapers’ websites to find the information that made me reflect and sensitive to the particular topics.

At first I heard about this class from other Architecture students and then I was interested to be part of this class. Being that I am still relatively a new resident of New York City and an architecture student, I am really expecting that this class helps me with knowing/learning about new places in NY.  I also enjoy hand free sketching so I hope that will be part of our site visits.

 

Initial Class Reflection – JakeC

How would you rate your level of experience doing research in college?

My level of experience while doing research in college would be on the basis of intermediate to advance in my opinion. Research is necessary for everything, we do from educational to personal life. While in the New York City College of Technology, I have been spending 5 years of my life completing the Associates of Computer Science and now completing the Bachelor of Computer Systems. Research on long length papers and miscellaneous tasks is not new to me.

What is your expectation for this class supporting your classes in your major?

My expectation for this class to support my classes in my major is to assist on the fact that research-based classwork uses social skills allowing further expectations for further educational purposes.
