Angry Moments in my Week – Erin J

This week has been particularly stressful because we are moving farther into the semester. With the increased amount of stress, I have had many angry moments throughout the week.

One moment of anger was figuring out how to use the program Solidworks to complete homework for Virtual Maker Lab. What angered me the most was the amount of new vocabulary and functions being used with very little explanation. While working through the HW, I kept wishing that the process would be more streamlined and intuitive for new users. I contribute this flaw to the boring interface and functionality of the program.

Towards the end of the HW, I did have a moment of happiness when I was able to play back my simulation and everything was cut out correctly. It gave me a sense of accomplishment because I worked so hard to figure it out and seeing it visually was very satisfying.
