Hardware Review

Well, I do understand the need to know about hardware, but I think I would have preferred to do this section a bit at the time rather than all in one massive effort. It would have been more useful to me to examine the hardware itself for the pre- and post-tests, because, although a picture may be worth a thousand words, the pictures left something to be desired. One of my problems is that my vision problems interfere with some aspects of power point presentations, even when I am able to look at the slide on the professor's laptop. The smartboard is problematic because my eyes are light sensitive to a degree. The bright background just washes out the picture for me in some cases.

When it comes to hardware, there is so much to know that time to absorb the information would have helped me. By that I mean that we might have done a good overview in a previous class, had time to read the chapters and, if possible, go examine those hardware items we did not immediately recognize in more detail, either online or preferably in a computer store, then done the more detailed work of identifying the parts. When I have to do hands-on work for a grade, I like the chance to do hands-on study before evaluation time.
