So this assignment for school did not go as expected. I searched for days, endlessly it seemed like. Last Saturday per usual I read my assignments in class. This week’s assignment edits something on Wikipedia obviously something we can edit from our knowledge. So I started out simple, a video game I like League of Legends I’ve don’t extensive research on this game for another class. Immediately I was rejected, well locked out, this post was uneditable by anyone that wasn’t a professional in the field.
Ok, so next on the adventure they great search. Endless hours, long nights, lots and lots of pages:
And many many more. I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t edit a single post, how? It didn’t seem possible I am a semester away from finishing my B.A. in Digital Photography with a double A.A. in studio arts and digital arts, I have been in school constantly for the since the age of 4. It wasn’t my lack of education, quite frankly it was quite the opposite. All I have done in school, I am a recluse, my only hobbies are watching Netflix and cook, I don’t watch the news, so throughout out all of my years with a large background in creative thinking and research I had never had a stump like this.
I say all of this for an understanding of perspective because as a sat here today I knew I could not due to this assignment, my knowledge for the first time had failed me and I had no clue what to due. So skillful I try to calculate whether I would fail my class or not if I skipped it. When my saver arrived, per usual it was my husband, he who opted out of finishing his certificate to join the military and has yet to return back to school could do the assignment.
I wanted to be honest with this, partly because I only understand half of what he told me to type, but also it says something. I’m sure there are other students that could answer this assignment no problem, and I am defidently not the studious person but it reflects. Education can’t teach you everything, something at is very important for students to understand. Who then is qualified to edit these pages? I’m not sure I have an answer to that yet.
Aside from my questioning of today’s education, the topic that my husband helped teach me about was airsoft, although he doesn’t play often he researches it quite a bit. he explained the new way the guns could shoot bullets, honestly, I love his but not the best at explaining things, so he helped my post this.
Although before any of that I had to figure out how to post it in the first place, Wikipedia has a tutorial that may have been the easiest part. Although as stated that you just type what you want to say, I was hesitant with all of the coding that I was seeing. Although based off of the sample I was fairly confident that there would be a notification or removal if done wrong.
It was then accepted, I have changed history. Kinda, it feels like it though especially in this day and age Wikipedia is what I’ve always known as the truth. Yes, you should do more research than Wikipedia but many students use it as a reference guide or even there the whole essay if they want it to not count because of plagiarism.
There is surprisingly a lot of information on airsoft but here is the part that I wrote,” Although with the newfound popularity with HPA guns the debate has been opened that barrel’s with a larger diameter (up to 6.13mm) could provide a more accurate shot. Due to the higher volume of air surrounding the pellet, it negates the chance of the pellet coming into contact with the barrel throwing the trajectory of the pellet off similar to a musket, in how the bullet slams about before leaving the barrel.”
Unfortunately, because of the struggles, I faced there wasn’t enough sufficient time to complete the assignment properly. There may or may not be commentary or it being taken down altogether in the future. With all of the information that circulates on the internet, it’s hard to have new knowledge on any topic that you aren’t personally familiar with, which is amazing that this kind of knowledge is accessible to us but how much are we actually taking away and learning from all this information?
