Trade homework help?

Alright here's the deal. I have a midterm tomorrow morning and I don't understand any of it. The class is called computer mediated communication, here is the course webpage:http://psych.ucsc.edu/~ahk/p127/
If anyone looks at it and understand wtf is going on, I would love to know. I have a list of review questions that make no sense to me. If anyone could actually even explain to me what the question is actually asking (not even necessarily help me with the answer) I would really appreciate it. Here is a sample of the crap I am trying to understand:

We often transform data from one representation (ie, coordinate system) to another. Provide an example of such a transformation in the auditory or visual domain, and discuss how the new transformation is exploited in some technology. Relate to jpeg and mp3.

I am a psych major. I understand abstract, people oriented things. I am confused. If anyone can help me, I will gladly help you with any writing/social sciences work at all. I am especially good at editing essays and helping people to expand on their ideas in eloquent and coherent ways. Obviously I am not good at things relating to computers.

As a matter of fact, I will help anyone with this stuff anyway, because I'm hoping the good karma will help me out, and plus I want something to think about other than this class. This is an unlimited offer, I will have many more chances to avoid studying for midterms I will fail along the course of this year.

3 rock stars + 2 cokes + 1 bowl of ice cream + 3 hours of sleep in the past 72 hours = me cracked out, studying like a fiend, and more than slightly vomitious.

I'm still studying. But obviously am on a study break right this second. Coke is delicious at 6 am. I took the advice from a certain someone's signature and got a bit of sleep. From 1:30 am to 3:30 am I slept, and then I got up and have been working ever since. The nappy actually helped a whole lot, I'm now powering through the studying and have basically gotten a basic understanding down of questions 1-8 (out of a total 11 review questions). I have 3 more hours til I need to leave for class, I think I can do this. I'm really excited that anyone even read this thread, I think it's the most boring thing I've ever posted. Thanks for the encouragement guys! Go me, I know now way more than I ever intended about audio and video digital compression systems. I anticipate completely forgetting all of this information within 24 hours. If I don't, I will aid the process with illicit substances because after this midterm is done I will definitely want to not think about it again for quite some time. Back to studying!

While I can't help you with your studying (I have no clue what you're talking about either!), I do wish you good luck with midterms.

My question is: If you're not good with computers, why are you taking this course? I personally would have signed the drop slip looooong ago...........

Good Luck!

Alright alright alright alright alright....I'm done done done! Soooo happy and obviously still running on a caffeine high. Goodness gracious I wish I could drop the class, but if I intend to graduate in June I have to take and pass this specific class...the course description made it sound like it was about the psychology behind how people talk on IM, meeting people online, websites like this one...but so far we haven't gotten past the technology portion of it, thus my problem. I think I did ok on the midterm. Like C-, but all I'm trying to do is pass at this point, and the further into the class we get hopefully the more psych oriented, in which case I should do fine. And hopefully the prof will decide to grade on a curve seeing as how everyone was very distressed about the test. I went with the ramble method (kinda how I post on here actually) and just wrote anything and everything I could think of even remotely close to the topic in the hopes that I would get some credit for it. We'll see. Thanks for cheering me up guys!
