Feedback, Help or Hinderence?

After missing Wednesday through illness I was relieved to find out that I hadn’t missed out on too much. Things could have been a lot worse had I missed even more. In future though I really will try and drag myself out of bed to get into college.

Thursday was a day of hard draft and a new lecture. I’m starting to find note taking easier in lectures, whereas before I was trying to get everything down I’m now trying to get the main points from what Steve says and the highlighted parts of the lecture. John gave insight into his note taking that he only highlights the important words, I can understand how this may work for certain people, I would find just trying to learn about something from a word really hard, especially if I didn’t know what it was from before, I also find reading full notes makes a lot more sense than just words.

Julian and I were discussing how feedback can sometimes be less helpful and how sometimes it’s not always valuable and sometimes some is better than other.

The late morning and afternoon were taken up with the next part of the Picture This assignment. Julian and I found the first real task of this rather time consuming and monotonous; I wonder who else found it like this? I’m not saying that it was pointless as I do believe it will be invaluable information in the future.

Now that were in full swing of 2 assignments I don’t feel as I’m under as much pressure as I thought I would be, I really feel that I’m managing to use my time well and use my self study time to get the best out of the work I need to. I feel that I’m finding some good “inspirational” pieces to stick in my sketchbook. I find that studying at home to be more productive now that I have managed to put aside all distractions, such as the TV and computer games.

At last I managed to get webpage sorted and managed to put a coming soon page on, after about 2 hours of constantly trying on Dreamweaver. I finally managed to get it up on there.
