Second Entry - Paper Moon & Watermelon Gummies!

As a senior in college, I honestly did not expect an experimental course to be one of the classes I would be this excited about. After our first two classes, I think it will be interesting to learn about how people were persuaded by certain stories, especially during a time when it was probably much harder to tell what was real and what was made up. 

I also looked into the movie Paper Moon after class. I thought the movie was really interesting because it shows how easily people can be influenced and how appearances can sometimes be deceiving. I liked seeing the relationship between the characters and how they used their personalities and cleverness to get through different situations. It definitely made me think more about the idea of truth versus lies in everyday life.

Of course, I also have to mention the candy because that was such a nice treat! The funny part is that literally that same morning, I decided that I was going to start eating clean(er). Then I walked into class and saw those watermelon Haribo gummies, and that plan went straight out the window. My favorite is usually the strawberry flavor, but those watermelon gummies were definitely a close second. I guess my healthy-eating journey will have to wait another day! No complaints here.

    A little candy in an 11 AM class is not too bad a thing to have. The irony is that I am on a strict low-sugar diet and, except for a piece of chocolate now and then, I don't eat much of anything sweet. Thanks for the kind words. I am also excited about our class.

Journal Entry 7 - RIP Tim

Watching The Wave was honestly really interesting to me because it showed how quickly a dictatorship and a strong group mentality can develop, even when something starts off as something pretty lighthearted. At the beginning, the experiment did not seem like it was going to become anything serious, but it was crazy to see how quickly everyone became invested in The Wave and started following the rules and ideas without really questioning them. I think that was one of the most interesting parts of the movie because it shows how easily people can be influenced when they feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves. It also reminded me a lot of the Waco siege and how people can become so influenced by a leader or group that they start accepting things they probably would not have accepted on their own. There is also a lot of manipulation and what I would describe as gaslighting, where people are convinced that what they are doing is normal or justified because ever...

Third Entry - Paper Moon

One thing I have been loving about this class so far is how we get opportunities to take a break from projects and assignments and watch films that connect back to the themes we are learning about. I think watching movies gives us a different way to understand the concepts instead of only reading about them or talking about them in class. It also makes the class feel more relaxed and gives us something interesting to discuss afterward. I especially enjoyed seeing how Paper Moon explored relationships, deception, trust, and the idea of people putting on different versions of themselves. Even though the movie is older, I still found parts of it relatable and entertaining. Overall, I am really enjoying this class so far. I appreciate that it gives us a balance between academic work and opportunities to enjoy films while still connecting them to what we are learning. I also got to tell my mom all about the movie after class, and she thought it was funny that I actually sat through...

Social Engineering

Today’s class was honestly one of the best classes we’ve had because we got to experience social engineering from a different perspective. Instead of just learning about scams and phishing, we actually had to create one ourselves. My group decided to make a fake Chainsmokers concert RSVP using a QR code and Google Form. We tried to make it look as believable as possible by using the TCU and Crew logos and making it seem like something that could realistically be advertised around campus. We also added a limited-time meet-and-greet opportunity to create a sense of urgency and encourage people to respond quickly. What made the activity even more interesting was finding out that someone in each group had been given the secret job of trying to collect personal information from their group members. Grace was assigned to do this in our group, and I ended up being one of the people she successfully tricked. She asked for my phone number so she could send me the post we had created, and I gave...
