Progression on Modules/Course

During the Monday session (04/04/2016) it was mostly focused on catching up with the newspaper project and work experience, as well as the research project (AD5004) which I had completed ahead of schedule before it’s due date. As an update for this post, I had completed my work experience and I had enjoyed some of the things I was involved in. The experience of getting a table at a convention to sell prints of original and fan arts was probably one of the highlights out of work experience, and it was one of the things I was keen of doing. The rest of the work experience was alright, though I had also enjoyed the live brief for the first story project, which is something I wanted to at least have some experience with, since something similar could potentially happen in the future.

The newspaper project is coming to a close and I am ready for the printing production of my group’s newspaper, however I still need to know the other member’s progression on how their newspaper spreads are coming along, and I feel a sense of dread that the other members who are somewhat laid back has not done their spreads yet, which will become of an annoyance since this will cause a setback on finishing the project before the deadline.

My overall progress within this module has been steady, with a few minor hold ups due to the other projects that were simultaneously happening at the same time, which made me go back and forth between them causing some work to be a little behind on progress.

Catching up with projects that were behind schedule was not a difficult task as I usually prioritise on things that are either lacking greatly in progress, or having upcoming deadlines (which I would preferably finish it a few days before hand so I can go back to it to make any adjustments or to add anything extra to the project).

As of now I’m pretty ahead with the deadline for this module, in terms of completing the work experience (including the online forms) and the newspaper project is not far from completion. There hasn’t been any problems with this module and the course in general (besides the problematic group effort for the newspaper project) and I am feeling comfortable in my current position with my studies for this year, the only thing I need to do is to catch up on one other module (Self-Publishing) which I am behind due to recent and upcoming deadlines.
