Upon receiving the rubrics and feedback for DE, I was quite surprising as I had surpassed my own expectations. I was expecting to get a B- or even a C. So I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. However, I have got the lowest grade in DE and thus it necessitates some extra efforts on my behalf.
One thing that was unanimous across all the feedback’s was my engagement. I love interacting in class with my tutors and peers and expressing my opinions, Which I regard as the key area of my strength. My positive attitude towards feedback and constructive criticism, as Well as my willingness to improve, along with my punctuality and constant timely submission also adds on to my credibility.
My reflections, though decent, failed to express my deeper thoughts and insight. This was one of the major gaps in my approach to term one and did affect my ability to convey my designing thinking process as well as my ability to tap into the unconscious thoughts and draw out inspiration.
Fortunately, the term 1 feedback will help me improve the outcome of the 2nd term. Firstly, I would want to work on my reflections and writing skills. I need to make deeper connections and carefully assess the pros and cons of a situation. For this I’ll be watching video and reading books regarding the art of writing and expression of your thoughts. Secondly, I would like to improve upon my design terminology. This can be easily done by listening carefully to the faculty during the sessions and writing down the terms as used and explained by them. I will then try and in cooperate these in my day to day language. Finally, i would like to add more personal research to my projects. I want to to dive deeper into the topics and go beyond what was necessitated.
I believe that the only way of judging your improvement is via your own self. I am my biggest critic, so if I can please and impress myself with my improvement then I would regard that as a success.
