REFLECTING ON FA: Design Environment

The assessment was per my expectations and I was satisfied with it. However, I knew that there is a scope of improvement and decided to take the assessment as a feed-forward.

MY AREAS OF STRENGTH:

• Documentation on the blog: My detailed documentation on the blog for each day along with the brief of the tasks done and insights drawn is one of my strong areas.

• Communication: My engagement in class discussions and taking feedbacks.

• Completing the tasks on the same day: I tried to complete the tasks on the same day so as to get a review about it.

MY AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:

• More Reflective approach: While most of my posts had fairly good reflections, I need to use my strength of documentation as a tool to improve the reflective writings.

• Better analysis: Connecting the observations from the past and present for more deeper insight.

• Use of better terminology: I need to expand my vocabulary to include design terminology to communicate my thoughts.

Due to late joining, I was already behind the other students who have been attending the classes since day 1 and I think it is because of this, I was not able perform my best. Had I attended the regular sessions, maybe my feedback would have been up to my expectations.

Starting from term 2, I have decided to first write down bullet points and then assimilate them in order to be more reflective. I have also taken help of thesaurus to improve my vocabulary.
