Week 30
Part 2
Today is final hand in for the year and I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing, maybe both. On one hand, its over. I can concentrate on creating projects for myself to really help further my development skills and push my knowledge to help with my course. One the other hand I feel extremely nervous for the outcome of this year and not having these project to focus on.
Also I can't say enough how proud of myself I really am, on how far I have came, progressed and learnt. Since it's the end of the year I guess I'm also full of thanks for it all. I honestly feel that I am extremely lucky to be able to be taught here at DMU because I've learnt so much fro my experiences here and from the Team that taught me.
I'm going to continue blogging over summer and doing project to push my abilities and improve them.

It's Done !
Week 30
End of year reflection part 1
I feel that this year has really helped mature my way of thinking and the way in which I go about completing tasks. Especially I feel when it comes to receiving constructive criticism. I didn’t understand that a tutor can’t mark work I haven’t provided proof of, that just because I have mentioned that I have done some work doesn’t mean it’s gradable. Since I then realized that my marks weren’t a personal thing, that they were there and given to help and push myself to improve my work and to eventually be able to do the job I want to do at the standard required. I was then able to take constructive criticism much better and was able to fully take in what feedback I was given and to follow it to improve my work, plus I then realized that the feedback doesn’t apply to that one project, that it applies to all future projects I do that it all helps create much better outcomes.

For a personal action plan one of the very first things I feel should be a big part of it is to always create time scale plans for each project both personal and for academic use. Time management is definitely not a strong point for me, it is slowly getting much better and I’m no longer trying to complete projects on no spare time. Another aspect of my personal action plan is continue to practice photo shop, to improve my skills and knowledge to help create better outcomes and for future projects. Experimenting more with 3D assets and teaching myself better knowledge of using engines, which will give me an even better start for second year. Also I found it helped a lot to read books that looked into video games from its history, genres, and general knowledge.
