Please think carefully about how well you achieved the Learning Outcomes for this unit and write down your strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for future development for each one.

1.   LO1: Show an awareness of the basic concepts and principles associated with your subject.

Strengths:  Strong awareness of the concepts in relation to the course with more than a basic understanding of requirements for the project. Weaknesses: In my opinion I didn’t use the library resources enough and hence relied too much on digital resources. Opportunities: I used the museum as a strong resource for the project, but I could have obtained books from the library as physical copies to work from.

2.   LO2: Demonstrate the skills required for researching, interpreting and presenting basic ideas and theories around your subject.

Strengths: Looked in great detail at relevant subject matter for my concepts. I felt that I had a very strong understanding on the good and the bad and areas for improvement. Weaknesses: Often struggled to find enough ‘reliable’ information to work from. Opportunities: Once again use more of the library and other physical media for research.

3.    LO3: Demonstrate a basic understanding of the materials and processes associated with your subject specialism.

Strengths: I used different materials during this project, including both digital and traditional methods. Weaknesses: I could have gone into more detail in terms of technical aspects during my study Opportunities: I could have used different mediums in my work. Also spend more of my own time in practicing different techniques so I can work more efficiently.

4.   LO4:  Communicate the development and outcomes of your work clearly and effectively to others.

Strengths: I often posted my work online to show others, as well as this I always showed my work during crit sessions. Weaknesses: I think that if my written communication was stronger then I would have been able to give peers better feedback but also be better at describing and sharing my work during crit sessions as I struggle to stand in front of others. Opportunities: Practice and try to get better at both written communication and presenting.

Overall Action Points: (to be discussed and agreed with tutor) I need to spend more time practicing in my spare time so that I can work better and more efficiently. Overall I need to get better at communicating with my peers in both written and presenting, overall I need to improve my confidence in both myself and in my work.
