Week 5

What were the most valuable pieces of information that you learned from presentations in class?

I found all the presentations beneficial.  I knew some information about most of the components presented but it was nice to have a little "refresher."  I learned the most about my presentation on video cards and Ron's presentation on BIOS.  My husband is a gamer and is always talking about the graphics of his computer so I wanted to learn about the possible video cards available so I understood why he bought what he did.  I did not know anything on BIOS so learned many things through Ron's presentation.  He broke the part down nicely -- his football analogy helped me understand BIOS.  I found the face that flash-drives can only be written/rewritten a specific amount of times before a new one is needed to be purchased important.  I did not know this but now that I do -- it does make sense -- things can only be used too many times before they just don't work properly anymore.  I found the night of presentations one of the more important classes in this course.

I am glad to hear that your research helped you to understand things that your husband values :)! It did take a while to get through the presentations, but they make for a very good class. You did a great job on video cards. Thanks for such a thorough presentation.
