My Grade...

After receiving my grade for unit 1: Anatomy yesterday, i was pleased that i had passed and got it out the way. But, i feel there's a lot more to come from me and a lot more that will hopefully be improved upon in this next unit. I wasn't too sure about the whole marking system, so it was good to understand things and i feel i'm ready to get into the course properly. I was particularly happy with the critical feedback i received and how it was broken down into sections, because this will allow me to develop and improve my understanding and grade. It was clear to see that my blog was the main cause of concern, which has made me aware that i need to be blogging more. To improve my blog i feel i need to do more research and analysis as well as making sure im constantly writing my thoughts. I also feel that my idea development should be improved and that i should constantly be drawing and posting new ideas on my blog. I'm still getting used to the blog, but hopefully we will see a much bigger improve this unit, especially as it counts towards 60% of my overall grade. The written assignment was alright, but i feel that Phil wants me to write slightly more in-depth and detailed, as well as giving a broader range of views and ideas. This will involve slightly more research ad something that i'm definitely keen to improve upon in this unit. Phil also commented making sure the document is more professional and removing any clipart. Finally, was the Maya work which i was fairly happy with, but i knew where i had gone wrong, and if i had left some spare time over at the end, i would have been able to finish these properly. This unit, i have made sure that i start the Maya tutorials early allowing myself enough time to change any mistakes i make and amend any problems, giving me the chance of receiving a higher mark.
