OUGD505 End of Module Evaluation


Looking back at this briefs and the tasks set, I believe I have delivered what was asked of me in terms of producing a Map focusing on a topic of my choice and a body of work that addresses an economical, ethical or environmental issue of choice.

I feel like I didn’t manage my time as well as I could have. Ideas generation was quite easy for Studio brief two, with studio brief one being a bit harder but after a bit of help advice in crits I was able to focus and develop a piece of work I’m happy with. I had a clear vision in mind from quite early on as to what I wanted to create regarding studio brief two, once I had chosen my topic. I feel the extensive research we were required to do and present in SB2 really helped inform my ideas and helped me decide where I wanted to go with it.

The tutors have been around and are always available for advice when needed. They have been helpful and have given me ideas when needed which have helped me further develop my work. It was easy to ask for advice on what works best if need be and I’ve been able to use peer feedback to help develop my work.

I felt there was enough time on this project to produce something of better quality, I acknowledge my own time management on this brief was poorer than It should have been. I’ve felt almost drowned in work at times  this year and I know that is partly due to my own time management on this module which has been poorer than it should have been, although the poor time management has often stemmed from the feeling of being stressed and often times overwhelmed. The last couple of weeks have been relatively free to focus on this module which has really helped. Having said this, I’m overall happy with my end products but feel with better time management I could have definitely produced something of better quality and something more substantial.

I feel my time management across the whole module could definitely improve. I feel like I need to ask for advice on how to develop my work and develop a broader range of research that will improve my overall grade as I’m currently not happy with how I’m performing.

If I was to visit this project again I would be better prepared with time management. I wasn’t happy with my time management and will always try to improve upon this. I would also make sure I’m consistently blogging as I feel this is one of things I need to improve upon the most. With extra guidance on the research and experimentation side of my work, it may allow me to work in a way that forces me to blog on a more consistent basis.  I would give myself more time to experiment with my ideas, maybe allow myself to take more risks with more time to correct or improve anything. Even though I’m happy with my outcomes, giving myself more time to experiment with my ideas more for across all three studio briefs would result in better outcomes. Although I’m overall happy with my outcomes it’s always good to improve upon that and gather even more research to be able to develop more ideas and produce better outcomes. I want to take this advice generally but especially take this into next year, I know at times my ability can be better than the things I produce and sometimes I’m just not satisfied by the quality of work I put out and I know with better time management, research and experimentation I can produce better work and continue to develop a clear style in my work which I what I aim to do.
