Self-Evaluation

1/2 way check point

• What have you learned? Principles of design, how to use InDesign, a lot of interesting ways to take advantage of the features of programs to achieve a certain effect, the advantages and disadvantages to certain programs
• What have you struggled with? WHERE DO I BEGIN. Thinking and working outside my comfort zone, not wanting to give up on a project because I wasn't happy about it, distractions, POSTING MY FINISHED PROJECTS TO THIS BLOG AND/OR MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO A PIECE WHICH LEFT ALONE WOULD PREVENT IT FROM BEING UPLOADED TO SAID BLOG (a couple of my pieces are transparent and I can't find the time to fix it aagghhh), BEING MORE POSITIVE (not just this class, so that's good? Or bad. Probably bad.)
• What are you proud of? What are your strengths? ...can I get back to you after term 2? Cause I've got nothing right now. Sorry.
• What goals do you have/ what do you want to learn in Term 2? HTML is really, really fun right now, so I'm highly looking forward to finishing up that unit. Also, just realized that I can use my new HTML skills to compose this very blog post, but I clicked on it and got scared, so maybe another time*. I think I need to just further develop the skills I already have sort of. Maybe designing a poster for something that the student is a fan of? That would be fun. Oooooh. I like that idea. Personal project maybe?
• What mark do you think you deserve? Explain why. This is why I'm bad with these self-evaluation things. I tend to underestimate what my mark should be (see the whole "being more positive" point above), but I completely understand that i really haven't been doing a good job in this class. I'll be the first to admit it. I'm guessing maybe somewhere around the 50-55% mark. 
• How could you improve? Changing my attitude towards my work, growth, and trying new things would be a good place to start. Possibly practicing with very small projects, so it's more manageable. And I would say trying to be more positive, but I've been told that many times before and it's incredibly tough, so I can't make any promises.
