IT'S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE



Well I guess it’s that time... Where we have to part ways. I tried to articulate how this class made me feel. I feel like this class took me on an emotional rollercoaster. I was always at the edge of my seat. I thought an appropriate picture would be one from Set It Off.





This movie started off one way, but ended in a totally unpredicted way. They had some fun, laughter, tears and it ended with hurt, pain, death and sadness. While I am grateful for this class it is also important to know that I learned so much from each of you. Even those of you who have written so much I learned that sometimes less is not more, it’s just less.




When I think about how “out of the box” this class was I think of Lean on Me. There is a scene in the movie where a young lady says, “You don’t know a thing about Mr. Clark.” I would go as far as to say, “You don’t know a thing about Dr. Kyburz.” For those of you who haven’t seen this movie, I know your wondering what does this mean?

Mr. Clark became the principle of a high school where no one else wanted to go. Society had written them off, so he went in with some unconventional methods and made scholars out of the students. They learned things that they didn’t realize they could not only from the teachers, but each other. That is how I feel about this class. I will never forget this class or all of the crazy we all went through, but ultimately we pulled it off.




I guess it time… I say a final thank you to all of my classmates and teacher for allowing me the opportunity to learn from you all and I look forward to reading some publications from you all. Feel free to connect with me on Facebook. I’m sure we be in touch soon!

Thanks,

Natasha Johnson

Redesign

User Interface and User Experience Space Assessment This document outlines our assessments for a proposed redesign of Yen Ching, a local Chinese restaurant located at 810 W. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb, IL. In 1986, the Yin’s started their first restaurant on Fourth Street in DeKalb, IL. The business was strong enough for the family business to move to a larger location in 1990.  The current location is close to the campus of Northern Illinois University (NIU) and they were able to sustain business due to the new location and their authentic Chinese food. Online reviews from Trip Advisor 4/5 (24 reviews) rated #15/85 restaurants in DeKalb and Yelp 4.5/5 (60 reviews) helped share insight to the this long-standing local restaurant. With only 3 total one-star and 46 five-star ratings between the two sites, the restaurant is well-received and supported by both locals and visitors to the area. The food quality is described as fresh, fantastic and a Chinese favorite but with eac...

Food Review of Restaurant

The first and second pages of the menu, which are on red paper, consist of the lunch options. The third page consisted of the specials and combos. The fourth page is yellow and consists of the dinners and royal dinners. The fifth page, which was changed to red again, consists of the soups, appetizers, and pork. The sixth page consists of the fowl and beef, the seventh page consists of seafood and vegetable options and the eighth and last page consists of noodles, chow mein or chop suey, and fried rice.     The food offerings are tasty, and they come in large portions, which is definitely a plus for Yen Ching. Each entrée we ordered came with a soup appetizer and a side of wontons. Our meals came quickly, were hot and appeared fresh, and smelled delicious. Marilyn was the only employee working the front end at the time of our meal, and she seemed to do a good job checking in on our table along with the other diners. We ordered the Princess shrimp (above top), Mongolian ...

Snow Day

On Monday, November 26, 2018 Northern Illinois University decided to cancel school. What does this mean? No work for me and thousands of others. What does this mean for productivity? It cost about a million dollars in productivity. Was the snow really that bad? The new me says yes. Safety is important and we need to do all that we can to keep our student s and employees safe. When I arrived to work today, Tuesday, November 27,2018. I parked my car and almost feel because there was so much ice on the ground. I thought to myself, how safe is it really. Need less to say I slowly walked to the door to get into the building, then proceeded to m office to turn on both of my heaters Just to set down and forget my laptop in my car. I am grateful that we had a snow day, but I also understand that many don't think this is fair because many workers are considered essential personnel. I remember two years ago the Rec was considered essential personnel. I could not believe it. Needless to ...
