https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts How could we make the first weeks of W&G something students love? en-us 2017-04-11 01:11:05 UTC 2017-07-31 23:06:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Brightnessdown.png qmccarthy97 https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795266 This is the first course I've ever done, so my opinion might be a bit biased.

I honestly expected the course to be no different from college, just with more practical work rather than theory.

I was intimidated by the difficulty of the work initiallty. And there was a time where I really just wanted to give up and leave, especially with the pressure put on completing a certain project. But with time it's gotten a little easier.

I was suggested to talk to people about the pressure put on me and the stress that came from it. But, it didn't actually help. I felt like I wasn't understood.]]> 2017-04-11 01:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795266 https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795291 In the first week, we received an abundance of hand-outs. It would be good if more of the material was distributed through the Cloud, such as Dropbox or Google Drive.]]> 2017-04-11 01:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795291 https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795324 i think the learning can be introduced sooner and at a higher level, talking to some of the class i found alot of us felt this way but]]> 2017-04-11 01:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795324 https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795360 It would be cool if there was a first week social gathering after class!! ie coffee catch up.

I do wish there was more practical work rather than just handouts or straightforward teaching. It's still early in the course, but I'm hoping to eventually be able to relate to my tutors at a tutor-to-student level, rather than a teacher-to-student level that has been apparent now and then.]]> 2017-04-11 01:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795431 https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795610 It can quite often feel underwhelming completing a project, only for the commentary to be incredibly brief. Further feedback would help with skill refinement.]]> 2017-04-11 01:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795610 lordofgrainandnut https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795916 I did a free 6-month Level 2 course last year that went pretty well.
Apart from all the dank-ass memes.

We used to have a Casual Friday where we would just do some weird stuff like cosplay or show up with sleeping bags.

We also arranged a movie date for the wildly successful blockbuster Deadpool.

Just sharing ideas here guys.]]> 2017-04-11 01:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795916 https://padlet.com/CDD07/thoughts/wish/165795996 Since not everyone that comes into Level 5 W&G have experience in the adobe programmes (I think it's cool there is already an existing introductory into them) it would be quite cool to have short/fun tasks for people that are already quite confident in the programmes so that they can feel more involved, also to get feedback on these mini tasks would be pretty beneficial.
