I would say that the easiest material for me to understand this year had to be when we went over adobe illustrator and Photoshop. Probably because I already have prior experience with both of those programs but that's besides the point. Easily the most difficult material for me to understand this year was when we went over data visualization and particularity spreadsheets. Not because that material was particularly difficult, but because that entire unit was boring and felt like a huge hurdle that we had to jump over in order to get to the actual interesting stuff. If I would change the curriculum at all I would probably have that unit first which I think we did anyway (I can't really remember at this point) to get it out of the way as soon as possible in order to get to the stuff that's actually interesting.

The 3dsMax tutorials that by far have been the most interesting to learn and experiment with have been the ones where we work with modifiers. Modifiers can help you do really cool things with your 3d models, and not only that, but there is a huge selection of modifiers to experiment with, each with different effects and that do different things to your models. Modifiers also help streamline the 3d modeling process a great deal because they take things that were originally difficult and time consuming and shorten those processes sometimes to being only a few clicks of some buttons.
The third review quiz wasn't difficult for me either. Again, I think that this is because the concepts that the quiz went over are things that I use and consider all the time, so even though I haven't particularly studied the material since the beginning of this school year, those concepts are still fresh in my mind. I think that to study I just need to look over the power points again so that I have a complete understanding of all of the material because there are still some things on the review quiz that I just plain forgot about and probably need a refresher on.
The first and second review quizzes weren't difficult at all for me even after not doing the material for almost 5 months. I think that this is because not only did I go over this material both last year and in a different class this year, but because they're on the principles and elements of design those concepts have been ingrained in my head. I use them for nearly everything that I make digitally and I'm constantly thinking about how to apply them when I'm making something so those concepts aren't going to leave my mind anytime soon.
