It is a great feeling to have ALL the work handed in and to not have to worry about it for the following week when it is all actually due.

A quick de-brief of the semester...

I think that I have learned a reasonable amount of skills that i have leaned over the semester, although a longer class and of course longer time in everything will have helped the whole class.

A 3 hour class ISN'T long enough to learn two programs and be able to know them inside out. Of course outside class time was required and most people had to do this in order to be able to present a final piece of work at the end of semester.

For me, having another class straight after this one was a pain, as i would not be able to stay back if i wanted to work on things further. Therefore I had to make sure i remembered everything from week to week other wise it was like i was learning again the next week. I found it no point in writing steps down because the next week or during the week when i looked at them they didnt mean anything to me, it was all like jibberish. 

I think the assessments and the criteria's for this class worked very well with the design of the course and I think having to two assessments due at the end of the semester was a good idea as well, as we had a few classes to work on our own work as well.

In my previous weeks in my blogs i have stated that i work better with given a program and trying to work it out myself, and it is then when i cant work it out using a series of clicking processes as well as a series of undo's is how i work. So the weeks when you were talking stuart you probably noticed that i would race ahead of you to see what would happen. At the same time i did listen most of the time. Whilst saying this other people are different, who need to be told exactly what to do, and i think you have been able to cater for all of the different students. 

Overall I think that this class was good. I see why this would be good skills to have but I think in my case wanting to be a visual arts teacher, i think this class would be more appropriate for a design student. I'm not saying that it was a waste of time, and i enjoyed my time in this class.

Thanks Stuart
