| Unit Review... |
For my final post, I thought I would just give my overall views of the unit:
- There was certainly a lot of work to complete, however I felt that the workload was manageable... I certainly wouldn't increase the work load for next year.
- Having been one of the few students to attend every lecture, I found them very informative and interesting. Lectures by people in the know were greatly appreciated and I can honestly say I took something out of every single one. Those who weren't there really missed out... in my opinion anyway.
- Although I'm not completely against group work, I do prefer to work on my own, developing my own ideas as opposed to trying to refine 4 ideas into one. Having said that, I do understand that in the industry there will be more group work to come and this unit assisted me to get used to that.
- I was quite a fan of the youtube submission technique that was used for the mod 5 assignment. I would seriously suggest this type of submission for projects of similar size in the future. I have also got a great appreciation for the laser cutter in the workshop. Having never had to use it before, it opened up a whole new avenue of modeling techniques that I am looking forward to discovering in the future.
- I felt that there were an adequate number of tutors around to assist us, which came in handy. I was also impressed with the masterclass concept. It gave me the opportunity to get some feedback on how I was going, while allowing enough time to make some adjustments. I find it easier to work to a deadline to get my arse into gear, which the masterclass provided: a mid-project deadline.
Overall, I was quite impressed in the way the unit was run. I have learned quite a lot in the way of incorporating sustainability and environmental factors into a design, which I will carry with me forever. |
