The Jeopardy game, most definitely helped aid in the process of learning the definitions and terms of copyright and paten law. With stakes and reputation in play, it really push the envelope on locating and retaining the terms.
I feel the bigest part of this learning process was trying to create the game. after going over definition after deviation, you couldn't hep but recognize the meaning in everyone else's question. Some of the questions that where provided had much difficulty to them, which really push the mind into over drive. However the return in that will help able the process in looking them up in the book for the test, provided we it is indeed open book.
All in in all, I felt the game was a great success and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I really believe that interaction is a great tool when it comes to the learning, especially when it comes to something like law, that at times can be a very dry subject, with all of its terminology. I must say now, I really enjoy it.

Week 2 EOC: Erin Brockovich
In my personal opinon, I feel the case settelment of $333 million (as stated in http://www.brockovich.com/) was a tremendos win for the firm and their cliants, however after the 40% fee, only $196 million was left to devide amongst all the residents, who on avrege only recived about $300 thousound, theer only a couple that recived “several million”. (as stated on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195685/faq ) It brings to me a question of who were the firm actually working for? The cliants or themselves? As reported in imdb, “The lawyers determined this sum confidentially by various factors, including the severity of their ailments. On average, this came to $300,000 per victim, as stated previously. Some did receive several million. Others received less. For example, Dorothea Montoya received $60,000” .
Week 1 EOC: My Voice
As a creative thinker, my passion is beyond filmmaking. I inspire to
inspire, to move my audience and compel their emotions while at the same
time entertain them.
I have three major things in my life and that’s a past, a present and
future.
My past, consist of young boy, who while the world beneath him hurtled with chaos, would often times sit high on the roof writing songs or poems, creatively thinking of a way to escape the harshness of life. My present, stands a young, overly driven man, who without that past could never understand, nor put fourth what it take to put together any creative thought, that would even remotely move or compel someone. My future, I envision two things. The first, to gain the respect as a professional and innovator in my craft, the second is to have inspired and compelled other like minds to bring fourth new innovated ideas to the film world.
