Late-Lab

Week6, Feb 20 Sunday

In today’s log I am going to talk a little about the historical culture of Ringling College’s student behavior. In more specific, I am going to talk about the behavior of the Late Lab culture. I think as it is a really popular thing that most students participate, it should be consider as important as any other community study. I spend the whole weekend in lab and experiencing the so-call “Late Lab”. Late Lab is something that most the computer animation and game design major students enjoy doing. It’s basically an opportunity given by the head of the department which allow the students to stay in the 3F lab and work throughout the night. Normally the computer lab close at 12 every night, and everyone will be kick out of the lab regardless if you get the work done or not. During a Late-Lab period all the senior students are allow to stay in the lab as late as 3am in the morning! However, it is in my conclusion that most of the students will actually be more active and concentrate on their work because they have more time, and in the end produce the same amount of work as if they had to leave at 12; so because the whole late lab thing is only helping people that actually spend all their time concentrating on the work which mean normally they don’t even need the extra time to finish their work anyway. It is with my observation that I discover most of the student use those time chatting, watching Youtube funny video, playing game and etc…and I believe this is taking away people’s time to visit and explored Sarasota like what I am doing now.
