Education & Reference - 9 January 2007

I'm an 18 year old student on a Graphic Design/Multimedia course in the UK.

Here's the situation:

I haven't learnt anything:
We're not being specifically taught anything like design theory, and neither have I learnt anything by working on the assignments

We've only been taught very basic software techniques (this consisted of us 'learning' to make selections in Photoshop 7).

[The only part of the course where I am learning something is Art History, which I am actually enjoying]

I could be learning much more outside of college, teaching myself.
(...and did so last term, but not to the extent I would have liked to)

Much of the work we are being set won't be of any use in our portfolios.
(most of the assignments we are being set seem to be essays)

I'm contemplating leaving the course to pursue full-time freelance/self-study.

I've got many contacts in studios/agencies, with offers of work experience. I'm planning on teaching myself/building up portfolio more before I pursue these.

i think the following quote is one like no other, this shows the love of one person. Everyone has their own opinions, and i'd like to hear yours.. what does this quote make you think of, about, and what do you think its means. thank you


Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
*Love never ends*

What is the role of rhetoric in influencing people's attitudes and beliefs? How can readers distinguish between prejudicial and non-prejudicial use of rhetorical devices?

I am so confused as to what this means? I am getting so frustrated...

I'm writing this very important research paper on star wars. strictly formal, so i need plenty of resources to list on bibliography. If anyone can tell me any good sites to visit it'd be helpful. I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO WIKIPEDIA. I need some websites to inform me who came up with the idea and how, the process that was done for casting, things abou the technology and about how they built the set and did special effect, something about the audience response and something about the enterprise when it first came out and now. REMEMBER- I need resources, i have to cite everything.
