Hello! This is the first day back to college for 2016!
Coming into the centre today, we firstly wanted to use a software called Evolve to help update some software-related business. We found out it wasn't installed so we used an IT Form and filled out our irritable issue. We also spent time reflecting on U35 in general and looking at where everyone is, this was good to see how far people are and how much time is needed - personally, I have completed U35.
We also did a Kahoot quiz reflecting about U35 in general and I came 3rd, top 5 in the quiz. I made a small mistake and that is learning that .PNG is in fact a lossless compression file format. Furthermore, we also did the end of unit survey and I had found that it had benefited me in a particular way - mainly the planning stage because it has helped me to think more outside of the box and read between the lines to find and create the best design possible.
Adam training taught him about fixed mindsets vs growth mindsets and the differences in how they act and think. We were shown a video and we made notes about it - I have learnt that everyone is in fact one or the other and this can help me find more appropriate partners in the future to work with. I have learnt that I have a growth mindset. We also stood up and participated in an activity where we were to share our opinions and debate on a discussion about various statements such as "You can learn new things but you can't really change your basic intelligence." Luckily,I have already thought about that in the past so I had an answer instantly.
We also went to our personal Google Docs and added a SMART target. My SMART target is to improve my SPAG (yes, it's terrible) and make sure I balance out my diligence in terms of work ethic. Knowing I can push myself is good but not being satisfied can have a downfall. This will be my first 2016 college-study-resolution.
Throughout the day, people have been trying to catch up with their outstanding work. Since I have done everything, I spent time filling out the Scheme of Assessment and creating new folder structures for the next unit - Unit 41 3D Modelling. I also took this opportunity to talk to Adam and Zoe about anything I was unsure about and added this to my to-do list. Adam also told me great news about NUA and that the recruiter team has been keeping an eye on my work - I am incredibly honoured and happy because NUA is currently my first choice.
When we started on looking at the new unit, we firstly created an initial mind map and stormed out our ideas of what we know, what it could involve, and what this could mean. You can read my mind map here. Later on, we were presented with a power point that help set our expectations, skill capabilities and shown examples of what modelling can do (e.g. games design). I have decided to set myself a small target of being able to create a character with textures and more. I was introduced to the idea of Blender and today is finally the beginning of my modelling journey.
For personal reflection, today has been a chilled and relaxed day, yet also so informative. I believe I can keep up with all my work if I have a consistent time planned out.
*Define what recursion means.
*Understand how recursion links to sequences and series.
*Use bubble sort and quicksort to arrange a sequence of numbers.
*Identify how a sorting algorithm might be coded.
*Recall what must be included in the assignment.
After lunch, we had maths with Emily. I had completed the entirety of T1 throughout the holidays and have been prepared. I focused and concentrated as hard as I can to understand what she taught for the new U26_A2T2. She taught us Fibonnacci's sequence which I learnt online, recovered the definition of recursive sequences, gave an example, taught factorial, bubblesort and quicksort. At the end of the lesson, I made changes to my T1 and handed this in for now until T2 is done. T2 is a report which I will need to explain relationships between terminologies and its definitions etc.
