Today is the last day of the digital graphics unit with the "Amazing Adam". Due to the sad reality of this fact, we all gave our all for the last day. This morning, the blog stars are everyone as we have all improved so much since the beginning of the course. (This makes it my fourth time being the blog star, yippe!). Afterwards, Matt T presented his Thursday quiz to us, which is about hardware and software. In the end, I got a total of 8 out of 10 correctly answered questions. And the one with the lowest were Alex S and Tom L. The epic rock paper scissors battle lasted less than a minute and as a result, Tom L will be doing the quiz for next week.
Furthermore, the "Amazing Adam" said the majority of the class are still getting the common mistakes of capital letters and commas wrong. Therefore as a class, we had another (pointless) detailed discussion about capital letters and commas. I also learnt today that the "Amazing Adam" dislikes the oxford comma rule. However, I always use those, and even right now. After the discussion, we were given two worksheets about the relevant topic, it was extremely easy for me but a good practice to drill into all of our minds. This was purposely done to explain that communication is a valuable and important thing to keep in account.
The next part of the day was the hardest part. The whole class created more folders in the Students Write Area and had to put their final work into its respectful folders. It was somewhat annoying as we have to name the files/folders perfectly or else it won't be marked. But what made up for it was that I created a folder called 'yolo' for a short few seconds. Additionally, some of us also worked on finishing our A4 for today's submission. However, I have been proactive at home and I have completed A4 over the afternoon yesterday, which means I have proof read and submitted the assignment quickly. Next, we all filled in the SoL (Scheme of Learning) document stating what criteria we have attempted. We also added the date and our digital signatures we made on the induction days. Oh, memories. I also took the opportunity to ask the "Amazing Adam" anything I was unsure and confused of, such as very specific and detailed questions.
In the last part of the day, the "Amazing Adam" and each students talked about what they had learnt in this unit. It is a good summary and is also an effective way of reflecting things we've learnt. (One massive thing the "Amazing Adam" emphasized was specifically 'Typography'. Then in the last hour before self-study, we all continued with our unfinished work or started the design challenge. The challenge is to design a poster of something or all of what we learnt in the digital graphics unit. I accepted the challenge and will try to finish it off at the end of the day as I am dedicated and determined.
Overall, digital graphics will most likely be one of the best unit ever held. Furthermore, it was also lovely to get so close with everyone in the class, as well as to get to know the "Amazing Adam"! Tomorrow will be the trip to NUA. After so, I will be ready to take on the next unit and once again step out of my comfort zone.
P.S: The "Amazing Adam" told me to not let one opinion stop what I want to do. It has a very deep meaning and I understand it clearly. It's an encouragement to push me further. Thanks Adam! :)
