Critical studies - week 15


This week in critical studies we were welcomed back to the course and we discussed how we are going to prepare for second term as well as how we react to written feedback.
When discussing how we react to written feedback these were the options we were given. Below the options are my results from the survey.

1.       I look first at the mark or grade I’ve received
Answer – This is exactly what I do

2.       I’m influenced a lot by the mark or grade I receive when I look at the feedback
Answer - This is exactly what I do

3.       If the mark is better than I expected, I analyse the feedback carefully to work out why my mark was better
Answer – This is exactly what I do

4.       I If the mark is worse than I expected, I analyse the feedback carefully to work out why my mark wasn’t so good
Answer - This is exactly what I do

5.       If I don’t my lecturer very much, I don’t take much notice of the feedback
Answer – This is not what I do

6.       I take careful note of positive comments, and find out what earned them, so I can use this feedback to make future work better

      Answer –This is sometimes what I do

7.       I get upset by critical comments, and sometimes feel bad about such feedback.
Answer –This is sometimes what I do

8.       I take careful note of the causes of critical comments, and  work out how exactly I can avoid these sorts of criticism in the future
Answer –This is sometimes what I do

9.       I  make systematic comparisons between feedback comments I receive from different lecturers, and work out which are general trends regarding my
Answer –This is sometimes what I do

10.   I  share the feedback comments I receive with fellow students, and learn more about the comments they received on their work
Answer – This is exactly what I do

11.   I file my marked work carefully, so that I can return to the feedback comments later and reflect on them
Answer – This is not what I do

12.   I  make an action plan based on the  feedback I’ve received and keep this hand to use in future work
Answer – This is not what I do

In addition to this we made a table plotting out our strengths and weakness’ as well as what we are going to do to improve ourselves


Visual design

Strengths: I feel as if I have seen a lot of improvement recently in skill and I also actively seek crit
Areas for improvement: Understanding the fundamentals (colour and light, anatomy and perspective)
Cause for concern/worries: My fear of failure
Actions: Practise more often in my free time
Barriers: Time management

Game production

Cause for concern/worries: My skill in 3d – I’m worried I may fail game production and have to retake first year
Actions: Talk to the game production staff about my skill and research topology in more detail
Barriers: Time management

Critical Studies

Strengths: The visual look of my blog
Areas for improvement: How my blog is written
-          Needs more analysis
-          Needs to cover all 3 areas of the course
Cause for concern/worries:  I tend to put off doing these posts and then do them last minute
Actions:  I will try to get in the habit of writing a post in chunks over the week to create one large post
