c o l o r s
One of my most significant moments happened when i got
accepted to study in the US for my bachelors degree.
The fact of me living independently and on my own really made
me who i amtoday.
My greatest fear is the unknown future. I believe that i am
facing it right now, and even though its been hard, things
are starting to look up.
Closing my school for the second time was a big shock to me
and my family, I never felt hopeless through my life as
much as I felt when i heard the news. I transferred from the Art
Institute of Colorado Denver to the Art Institute of
Seattle after the cessation of the Art Institute in Denver, and
now for the second time my school has closed. I came
all the way from Saudi Arabia to get a better education and
unfortunately my dreams are starting to feel harder and
harder to reach, especially for me as a Saudi woman coming all
the way to the United States and leaving everything
behind is not an easy thing. BUT, i have come to realize that i

4. have to deal with it and work my way up again like i
did the first time, for the third time.
I don’t feel like I would edit anything from my life, because I
believe that everything happens for a reason and you
learn and grow from it. You have to experience life with its ups
and downs, and I’m fine with that.
In terms of my mentioned conflict I’m facing at the moment, Im
thriving to get there, but the moment I hold my
diploma is the moment i will feel the most joyful.
Personal Reflection
Research
Closing down The Art Institute wasn’t easy on anyone. It was a
shock to my system. Intense stress followed and it
feels as if I’m in a dream. A twilight zone that I’m eagerly
waiting to get out of.
“ What happened to the students of The Art Institute isn’t easy
on anyone. It’s a shock to their system. It can result
in a variety of reactions feeling numb or disconnected from
reality being one of them. Some may describe it as a
”twilight zone” a state between reality and fantasy. Having a
positive support system right now is vital. With their
resilience, creative problem solving and positive coping
mechanisms they’ll get through it. I’m hopeful. Good luck
to all of you, you’re much more capable than you think. “
Muneera Alassaf, Assistant Clinical Psychologist
The Art Institute of Seattle Student

5. Student name: Mortda
What dose the art institute of Seattle mean to you ?
It’s the reason of destroying my future and watching it collapse
in front of me, and wasting 4 years of my life.
When did they announce that The Art Institute of Seattle will
close. How did you react?
It’s been the hardest month for me since I moved to the US.
After they closed the Art Institute of Seattle, what did you feel?
Actually, all I was thinking of is how can I get my documents
and the diploma and get back to my home right away.
Describe your situation now?
I am currently very depressed and have trust issues, especially
here in the United States, and I would recommend
anyone who wants to complete his study that does not come to
the US.
The Art Institute of Seattle Student
Student name: Sarah Fuad Alquraish
What dose the art institute of Seattle mean to you ?
It meant a lot to me before. It used to feel home but it doesn’t
mean anything to me now

6. When did they announce that The Art Institute of Seattle will
close. How did you react?
I don’t exactly remember when, but they only gave us two days
notices. I got a little bit happy because I knew that god made a
better plan
for me, but I got depressed for a few days
After they closed the Art Institute of Seattle, what did you feel?
I felt lost! Didn’t know where to go or what to do
Describe your situation now?
Everything is going well now! I found a new school and I’m
still healthy and alive.

YOU SHORTLY FOLLOWING CLASS ON TUESDAY!!!
How to prepare for the exam that will be released on April 23rd
after the review session in class. It will be due (submitted to
Blackboard) by 11:59pm on Friday the 26th. We will have a
drop-in lab in place of lecture on Thursday the 25th. Come with
your computers and questions! No late assignments will be
accepted!
THE EXAM (for the most part) REQUIRES DOING EXACTLY
WHAT YOU DID IN LAB. The difference – you will have a
different data set (Air BnB locations, prices, etc)
If you feel confident in your lab work you will ace the exam.
There are also some short answer questions based on what we
covered in lecture. You can prepare for these questions by going
through the lectures and labs.

1. What were some of the reasons we discussed in class for
student math failure? What are of the some of the solutions we
discussed in class? (lecture)

failure? Can you identify solutions to cognitive overload?

Last Part of Projections

16. Strategies for picking the projection (the lab)
Considerations when choosing a projection
Purpose
Reference, navigation, surveying, analysis
Audience
General, specialist
Extent
Distance, areal coverage, relative distances
Location
Polar, tropical, mid latitude
UTM
Strategy: works well for most places with large north-south
extent
Reasonably good preservation of shape, distance, area, and
direction for almost anywhere within a zone
60 Zones – unique coordinate system and central meridian
State Plane Systems

17. State Plane
Socially agreed upon projection for places in the United States
(Government, real estate, etc)
Use if area you are mapping is entirely within one area.
Better for smaller areas
Only good for United States
Run through the lab and start Math Therapy
Spatial Data Analysis (has a location)
Where is are certain types of things (people/stores/natural
disasters) Are they located in some areas and not others?
Are these types of things close to each other?
Are these types of things far apart?
How big or small or these things?
Are some of these things bigger or smaller than others?
Have these things moved locations over time?

Best Way to think of this is through examples…
Temperature is…
Color is….
Categorical Data
Categorical Data
No intrinsic order
No agreed way to rank from lowest to highest
You can assign categories but can’t rank them
Examples
Color
Commute
Growup
Hair color
gender
Ordinal Data

19. Ordinal Data
Clear Ordering of data
Low, medium, and high
Spacing between the variables is unknown
For example, NFC east standings – they are ordinal because we
don’t know what the teams records are
We can order, but size differences are inconsistent
Phillies
Wealth
Ratio data
Ratio Data
Rank Order
Spacing between variables is known
Size differences are consistent
Minutes
Miles
6 vs 3 miles
20 vs 10 minutes

question the same

What resonates true about this gif?
Why is Math Hard? Cognitive Load Theory
Working memory vs. Long-Term Memory
Cognitive Load Theory is about how to best present new
information to working memory
Working memory can only hold 4 or 5 bits of information
Unfamiliar stimulus can be overwhelming and disable long-term
memory (schema)

21. Cognitive Overload
Too many things you don’t understand
Unfamiliar examples
Unknown vocab
Words used out of their usual context
Puzzling symbols
Structure of text/information is new
Solution
– get comfortable/start from a familiar place. Build a Bridge.
