Books of the semester
The text I found most relevant would be iSpy. It had a lot of useful information and was directly related to the material talked about in class. A close second would be Millennial Makeover. I found MM to be very interesting because it was talking about us and who we are. My favorite book of the semester though was the Wisdom of Crowds. I don’t feel it related as much but it was a really interesting book that kept me pretty hooked. Also I think it could have been related very well to facebook groups. Facebook groups grow so rapidly, it would have been an interesting experiment to create a group and test the wisdom of them. With that said I enjoyed the content of iSpy but I was not a fan of the book. I think it was more the style of the book. The other books grabbed your interest and kept you interested and it took me a while to get into iSpy and on top of that at times I was losing interest in it. Though I think the content of iSpy may have been the most valuable. I would not recommend iSpy in combination with these books again because I feel it was a completely different style. I thought it was going to be a really good book but was actually let down a bit. That may be why I don’t like it as much, but if there is another book out there with similar material but a better read I would suggest it.
