For-Profit Colleges

    A for-profit college is a college owned by a private corporation or institution that charges you for your tuition but that money doesn't go towards your institution. A case of someone who has experienced going to a for-profit college is Patricia Ann Bowers who was a student at Everest College, owned by Corinthian College.
      While Bowers was student there, she asked for time off since her son had committed suicide, the college discouraged her doing so, however they promised they she was be able to take her classes again if she were to fail them, for free. However, Bowers had to pay for her coursework to retake the classes, then the school shut down which left her will a lot of debt. Bowers wasn't the only one either, many students asked for their loans to be taken off of them because of the school closing
         Statistics show that for-profit colleges have been a big part in the student loan crisis, between the years 2000-2014 the numbers of students holding student debt has risen up to 42 million and the total amount of debt needed to be payed is over $1 trillion. The increase of debt has also increased the amount of borrowing money.  Another way for-profit colleges can get to students are by advertisement, they usually show up in commercials showing an older person who wants to get their degree in a specific field or a mother wanting to go back to school while raising her kids. They have a way of targeting a certain audience and it attracts them.
      These articles were very helpful in researching about for-profit colleges and also informed me of why it is not a good choice to enroll in one of them and also how to avoid. I recommend that anyone looks at either one of these articles before enrolling into college and also look up known for-profit colleges to avoid.

Weekly stuff yahoooo

Hey y'all its Dwon/Dwonivan and I'm back from the dominican republic, it was a good time but also not great. Because of the trip, I've fallen super behind on the project like I'm still animating it sadly, which also means I'm definitely gonna have to pull an all nighter or two to finish it but it'll be worth it in the end.  I'm still kinda "scared" I guess about t doing the final project blog because with this project I barely used any references, well maybe enough? We shall see, but yeah don't be surprised if on Monday I'm still not done with the rough animation because it'll be a lot to do but I got this *dabs. I don't really have a choice anyway lol, it's either hand it in incomplete and get a failing grade or pull like two all nighters (not back to back ofc) and be able to finish it. I'd definitely choose the latter. The coloring shouldn't be too bad because my colors are probably gonna be mainly flat colors and stuf...

Timing

 Timing is essential when it comes to animation but also it helps you improve as an artist/animator as well. Animation veteran has sat down and taught us why timing is important and how it can also be fun to do also.     Timing involves how fast something moves and how long it stays still. Slowing an object represents weight, gravity, mass and speeding up an object adds speed, energy, and lightness. When working on timing, it is a good idea to work on the poses that you want in an animation, and number the poses as to where it breaks down, this allows you to know ahead of time if the rhythm is right and if the poses work out together or not.          Your key poses help set up how the rest of the poses will turn out, they aren't shown for that long, only for a quarter to half of a second but you can stretch out the time a little bit so your audience is able to see them. The amount of time a pose is shown can be different from any character depe...
