My evaluation of the DESIGN STUDIO module was as expected. Iteration, quality of the recording, and reflection were as expected. For ideation, risk-taking, and group working I have got a lower grade than expected.
STRENGTHS
Working in groups helps me come up and present my idea better.
My ideation and exploratory process gave me confidence.
The digital medium gave my work the justice it deserved. With Adobe Illustrator the quality of my work increased.
Getting screenshots of the slides while listening to the mentors helped me later in recalling the activities.
GAPS
Reflecting was a big problem. I couldn't reflect because of my limited English vocabulary.
IMPROVEMENTS
Better reflect on the project and include the "WHY" aspect. This can be done by practicing writing.
Sketch more to present the work neatly and clearly. Regular DDD practice will improve it.
Representing my ideas in the group by speaking in class more frequently.
STEPS TO IMPROVE
Keeping in mind the feedbacks and feedforwards.
Interact more and participate in the discussions.
RIGHT TRACK COMPASS
Feedbacks from the mentors will lead me in the right direction.
Talking to friends and discussing the working of my project will tell me the right thing.
FOLLOW UP
The major downfall in my performance of DS was because of the reflections. I tried to connect the dots, analyze, go beyond the obvious and conclude.
As for my sketches, it is evident in my term-2 projects the quality of narratives and posters I have made. Also, I tried very hard for the Ergonomics drawings as well.
Discussing with my peers helped me gain courage and thus I was active in Term-2 projects.
