Hello Everybody! My name is Kristopher Hart and I am a junior in the College of Communications studying Broadcast/ Journalism. I am a Philadelphia native. YES! I am your typical Philadelphian, I love cheesesteaks, water ice, Phillies, the 76ers, and yes I have ran up the Rocky Steps.
I will only be studying in University Park during the fall semester for this academic year because I have been accepted to the Penn State Hollywood Program. During the spring semester I will be in LA taking classes but will also have an internship.
Over the summer my advisor reached out to me to talk about my schedule. She suggested that I add both a math and science course to my schedule. Lord knows that all of my academic career, I have not been the biggest fan of either subject. 
Just thinking about Science makes me think of the Science class I took in the 8th grade. By far the worst time in my life. I had already taken Earth 101 which was a pretty easy course. I needed another Science course to fulfill my GN requirements. So she suggested I add Science 200 to my schedule. Once I read the course description it seemed like a class I would enjoy. It’s not a class designed for “science people” but asks questions that everybody wonders.
I am really excited about this course because it doesn’t just focus on one topic but covers a bunch of different topics. I’m really excited for Week 7 discussion on “Why can’t you live forever?”
Has anyone else wondered where their text messages go? I wonder it all the time. Here is a video that explains it.
Hey Kris, that’s pretty cool how you are in the Los Angeles program in the College of Comm. I hope to be in the program some day as well. I’m a huge Celtics fan, so when I think of LA, I think of the Celtics coming back from 24 points down in Game 3 of the 2008 NBA Finals. Here’s a link in case you wanted to watch one of the greatest comebacks in Finals history: https://youtu.be/X1-50cf-ZJo.
Hi，Kristopher. I read your post, and I feel like your reason for chose this class is extremely same with me. I do not like any kind of science class. My advisor told me that I have to chose a science class for my GN requirements. My advisor recommodated me to take this class, and I really thank her. I readed the syllabus of this course, and I am so excited about the topic of each lecture. I watched your video, it is really fun! It also let me begain to feel science is fun class! This is a fun video you may want to watch.

I do not know why my link just appear like a video. Hope you guys enjoy this fun article.
Hello Kristopher,
After seeing that you are from Philadelphia, I figured that this would be a great post to comment on. I am from West Chester, so I am only about 30 to 45 minutes from Philadelphia depending on traffic. Growing up I loved Allen Iverson and to this day, I still think he was one of the best to ever play. Going to Philadelphia for cheesesteaks is also one of my favorite things to do. I am also in this class because my advisor suggested it, and like you I am excited for the class. The topics Andrew presented to us on the first day look very interesting and I am looking forward to learning more about them. Finally, I would like to wish you the best of luck in LA and hope that you don’t miss Philly Cheesesteaks too much.
My link did not go through on my first post, but I hope you enjoy this video of A.I.

Hi Kristopher!
We seem to have a lot in common. I’m also in the College of Communications, and I hope to study abroad in LA my junior year for the Penn State Hollywood Program. I’m extremely interested in the entertainment industry, and LA is the perfect place for that! I also don’t have a “science brain,” or a “math brain” for that matter. That is the main reason why I ended up in SC200. And did you enjoy Earth 101? I have to take another science next semester and I’m not sure which one I should take. And I’m also excited to learn about the Week 7 question, “Why can’t you live forever?” I’m also excited to learn about where evil comes from. It’s a shame that Penn State wouldn’t let Andrew teach a course on it!
