MT is one of my favourite modules and I really enjoy working with materials. However, since this was our first FA submission I didn’t not know what to expect and had thus set my bar pretty low. But Upon receiving the feedback for MT, I was pleasantly surprised with the final result.
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. My love for MT resulted in an explorative approach towards this module, which culminated in a profound learning experience, which I regard as my key strengths. Apart from this 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. There was also a gap in communication as in some cases I was not able to clearly articulate my understanding.
Fortunately, the term 1 feedback can 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 research and work with more materials and techniques. I am going to start working towards this by using materials other than the ones found in the household. This could be a bit tedious when it comes to sourcing of the materials but I am willing to do the extra work. Finally, 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 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.
