The only reason I enrolled in this class was because
I needed the credit hour. I didn’t know what to think about
this class and was a little worried it would bore me to
death. I soon found out I was completely wrong. When I
first got to the class, everyone was sitting around. Finally
the instructor, Brad Matson, started talking and I realized
how cool this guy was. He was funny and interesting.
He worked on making the movie “National Lampoon’s
Christmas Vacation” and “Dumb and Dumber.”
He began to point out things about the making
of movies and how to watch for little things that may be
different in each scene. We screened the movies “Taken”
and “Unstoppable” as we ate pizza. The next morning, we
had a continental breakfast and began our next movies,
“Source Code” and “Limitless”. Next was lunch, taco bar,
then our last movie, “The Town”.
During and in between these movies, the teacher
explained what it was that we needed to be watching to
learn what we needed to learn. Pointing out lighting,
different shots angles and understanding the structure
makes one understand the movie better and enjoy it more.
Now when I watch movies, or even T.V. shows I appreciate
all that goes into making it happen. I now see what I was
being taught.
This class was fun and enlightening. Enroll now
and invite a friend. Bring a blanket, and lots of snacks
and, for once in your life, enjoy a class for only two days
watching awesome movies you would watch anyway.

NOC students complete internships
with local businesses
Coffee runs and paper pushing may be common
stigmas for interns, but that’s not the case for students
at Northern Oklahoma College who get to engage in
real world, work related business scenarios thanks to
partnerships with local businesses.
Three Northern students were chosen to take part
in the day-to-day challenges of working adults: Christy
Hooley, mass communications; Hannah Forman, mass
communications; Blake Hoemann, criminal justice.
Hooley, who works for Vype magazine, schedules
and shoots pictures for local business and for the Enid
smiles page also through Vype.
“When you are an intern you are learning so many
things that coincide with your class work and that helps
students see what their career would be like in that field.
It also helps teach students time management and how to
handle high pressure situations,” Hooley said.
Scott Haywood, NOC language arts instructor,
highly recommends an internship experience before
graduation.
“Internships are a safe environment that
exposes students to the workaday world. They learn the
responsibilities associated with employment, are giving
more leeway and more of a chance to make mistakes. I
believe internships offer students a learning experience
that cannot be replaced in the classroom,” Haywood said.
Some of those learning experiences, however, come with
slow-paced moments. “You can’t seem to find a donut shop
without a cop in it.” Hoemann, an intern at the Tonkawa
Police Department, is realizing there are some boring
times to being a cop. Even criminals have to sleep.
“I work as a part-time dispatcher. I learn what
they do every day and I clean up the dog pound. I have
learned that the public doesn’t care much for the police.
They do not get much respect. It is totally different than I
was expecting,” Hoemann said.
Gerald Konkler, criminal justice instructor, said police
work isn’t everything you see on TV. “Students need to

realize that sometimes the occupation they think they
want to be in is not what they think it is. It’s just not like
the movies and TV. Internships give a more realistic view
of the occupation before they’re fully committed,” Konkler
said.
Forman is an intern for college recruiting on
campus. She has quickly learned not to be shy when it
comes to communicating. “I have had to become more
comfortable talking to new people and have improved on
my people skills,” Forman said.
Whether the internship is what you expect or
maybe find out that career field really isn’t for you, an
internship is a great way to get your feet wet.
To find out more on internship requirements or
what businesses are accepting interns, visit www.noc.edu/
internships or call Dr. Rae Ann Kruse at 580.628.6341.

PTEC Job Fair set for Feb. 25 in Tonkawa
A Process Technology (PTEC) Job Fair will be held
Feb. 25 in the Renfro Center located on the NOC Tonkawa
campus.
PTEC Director Dr. Frankie Wood-Black said,
“Spring is here. For some of you it means graduation is
near, for others the prospect of looking at opportunities in
the Process Technology Area.
“As you are aware there are several employers in
the area – Phillips 66, Koch, Continental Carbon, TDS,
ONEOK and more. These employers have been invited
to a Job Fair to introduce themselves to the current and
prospective PTEC students and would like to talk with you
about the opportunities in process technology in our area.
This is a come and go event that will start at 2 p.m. on
February, twenty-fifth, and will last until 5 p.m.
“Please take some time whether you are currently
graduating or not to come and talk with our industrial
partners to learn about the opportunities that are available.”

I wanted to make it really special on
Valentines day, so I tied my boyfriend
up. And for three solid hours I watched
whatever I wanted on TV.
