Your Answer: Scrubber Tool - What has been your favorite lesson so far and why?? (50-100 words)
Your Answer:I really have enjoyed learning all of it so far, its all very interesting to me and I appreciate it. Each chapter had its own lessons to learn and each lesson was worthy of its own honors. I did think that the information given on sound and hearing was interesting, particually where it talked about the cochlea, the organ inside your ears that is shaped like a shell and has little tiny hairs coating the inside. When it said that when you hear a high pitch buzz in your ear sometimes, it may be one of those hairs falling out, and that over time the hairs do fall out, causeing hearing loss. I found that interesting.
- What's your opinion of the level of education you have gotten so far? Is there anything we could have done better in the first half?
Your Answer:I think its good, the lessons are good. Sometimes there are questions that are irrelevant and I would rather be asked a question thats more benefitial to my education on audio engineering.
