Variational Day!

Hello!

Returning into college, Zoë recapped U29_A2 for those who have resubmissions against it. This was all about potential risks and minimising the risks of installing/upgrading software. Over the period of my independent study time, I acheived all the crtierias for my U29_A2 resubmission - thank you Zoë! The weekly Thursday quiz has also been postponed to Friday as we had the Monday quiz relatively early. The quizzes seem to be alternating between the last two week days now.

With little work to do, Zoë resent me U29_A1 (minor corrections), U29_A3 (minor corrections) and U29_A4 resubmission. I made all the necessary chances applicable to the assignments and resubmitted U29_A4 only. For the rest of the marked documents, I created a submission folder in the submitted area and created an organised folder directory. In addition to this, Zoë sent me the observation form for the practical/installation processes and thus I filled in the Scheme of Assessment for this unit.

Making myself a little more occupied, I tidied my computer desktop and filled in the end of unit survey. In summary, this unit has been relatively easy, quick and simple yet informative and beneficial. This is because in the future if I work in the games design industry, being able to understand the procedures I can do and take such as data integrity before installing relevant software will be a useful knowledge. The strengths of today is being able to complete all required tasks. My inspiration is Zoë again because she is very intellectual around this field.

For the remaining part of the day, I did some drawing on demons to further practice my fictional character designing skills until we move over to Emily's maths session after Lunch. I am also currently drawing a portrait for this weekend's mother day gift. I am also considering to enter the BAFTA 2016 competition again but instead of Game Making, it will be Game Concept as I would like to try and come up with a game idea and visualise it using art. I will be researching about this.

Objectives from Emily:

*All will have written their project proposal and plan.
*All will have a document displaying the raw data they collected.
*All will have created graphs presenting their results.
*Some will have started writing up their results.

Today we began creating and interpreting the data we gathered a few weeks ago and plotting them into graphs. For me, I created a pie chart and a column bar chart about my questionnaire which will help my hypothesis. Next, I created a histogram, stem and leave diagram and box and whisker diagram as secondary data to help test my hypothesis. We were also taught standard deviation which is the mean of the mean and will be beneficial for our histogram explanations - I will be doing this next week. My outstanding work is to explain the different graphs I have created for my U26_A4T2 and go over my histogram graph in pen for a higher quality image. Today has been really productive but the hardest part was standard deviation.
