What is your learning style? Find out here, then check out my summaries below with learning hints for getting the most out of my classes:
Visual: This means that your learning is most enhanced by what you see - taking notes, seeing what you are learning, reading written material, and not having too much auditory stimuli. Make sure to use your book and its example exercises, look concepts up on Google and subject-specific websites, take notes off of the website and in class, use the GrabIt and HowTo web page info, use the StudioBast E-Learning forum to ask and answer questions, and let me know if we need to put something on the screen during break.Issues: Not enough on-screen code/example pauses - you'll need to look at Class Examples and find a classmate to do peer code review with.
Auditory: This means that your learning is most comfortable when you hear the information, have it repeated/rephrased, and verbalize what you are hearing to 'cement it'. You might try rephrasing key information in a question, verbalize your homework steps as you build code and use programs, read through assignment instructions aloud, look for skills-based Podcasts and HowTo videos to re-hear information, and bounce ideas and questions off of classmates in person.Issues: You may not hear all of the demo/explanation details and need a repeat - also look for complementary podcasts for additional verbal tips.
Kinesthetic: This means that you get the most new information by doing as you learn, need to move around or do a couple of things at once, and like hands-on as part of your workflow. You'll likely get the most out of doing the demos in class and FTP/validating code as you go, looking at demos on YouTube and the HowTo videos, show what you are learning/doing to someone else, and find example code to experiment with on your own.Issues: Class may slow down to articulate specific info or leave examples on the screen for other learners to catch up - keep playing with your work, validating/testing it, and add extras if you've advanced.

L.J. Bothell will teach the Summer Quarter WEB170 - Web Animation Using Flash class (Tues & Thurs, 7:25-9:10p, Room BE3174). If you are signed up for this class, please note the following:
You need to have the required prerequisites (WEB110, WEB120) to take the class, and should have familiarity with Illustrator CS4 and some Photoshop CS4.
Attendance is required at all the classes, especially since summer is a short quarter. If you can't commit to attending all classes, this one is not for you.
The required book is Teach Yourself VISUALLY Flash CS4 Professional, Keith Butters, 2009.
I feel that teaching is a privilege. I get the opportunity to share information about topics I love and work in, with folks I'll get to see grow in the design and IT industries later. My goal is to give as much current information as possible in an as fun and interactive learning way that I can!
My mission for teaching includes:
Providing current skills training for a competitive workplace
Encouraging professional workflow and communications techniques
Helping students help themselves prepare to flourish in their IT careers
Hi there! I'm L.J. Bothell and I don't stand on much formality. I'm from Seattle, WA, and have been doing design and communications of one kind or another for over 15 years. I have a BA in Liberal Arts, an AAS in print graphic design, a Certificate in web design, and a Certificate in web development. It's a wonder my head doesn't fall right off!
I've been lucky to have trained with some cool instructors and to have worked a lot. I have experience doing permanent, contract, freelance, and pro-bono work. I have worked in healthcare, real estate, education, nonprofit, transportation, travel, and marketing-related areas. I can work on both PCs and Macs and in many programs. I do web and print design and production, project planning and coordination, a teensy bit o'dev, and sometimes I write and get stuff published. Oh, and I am terribly addicted to Starbucks mochas.
Here are a few links below to work I have designed/produced. Some are snapshots in my portfolio site, others are currently live.
