Study Skills

After yet another monday off on the 5th, we arrived back to college with a new brief and a PDP class where we learnt a lot about ourselves.

Our first task was to write 'your top forty', where I had to make a list of my strong point, successes, qualities, attitudes and attributes etc. I'm not going to lie but I found this difficult as it was a quite daunting to write 40 different points about myself.

After reaching the final 40 the next task was to pin-point at least 5 of these which I was most proud off. These were sense of humor, polite, positive attitude, tidiness and patience - (sometimes).

There was then another 2 tasks which were along the same lines, where my strong points were highlighted and the points that still needed developed were raised. The purpose of this was to find out which was priority and needed to be focused on first to enhance my research techniques and manageable goals.

I think attending this Personal Development Planning (Study Skills) hour on a Thursday will certainly help me become more organised and more confident in my own abilities.

01/09/2011 First Time Blogging

The first week of college is now officially over.

However, I missed the first day (Monday 29th August) due to being on a flight back from Zakynthos, Greece.

My main project handed out is on the topic of 'TRANSFORMATION'. Part 1 is to explore and develop my practical skills and knowledge of media, in response to a set brief. The skills that may be used will be acquired through workshop activities for the following 40 weeks. 

Investigate the potential possibilities of a range of media in response to the concept of transformation.

Let the research and sketchbook work commence!!!!!
