Interim Self-Evaluation

List 5 practical skills that you have developed. When have they played useful?

Learnt how to screen print - always something I've wanted to learn and helped to make the Do Day brief possible.
How to research thoroughly and effectively - helps to understand a project better and get better results from it.
Time keeping - when there is so much it is vital to keep on top of everything to make sure that everything is done right and on time.
Developed software skills - in all, which ultimately makes my work look and work better and seem that bit more professional.

List 5 transferable skills that you have developed. What have you used them for?

Communication skills - both in and out of uni it is important to develop good people relationships so have used this skill to get that.
Time management - to be able to keep on top of the many things going off in life, it needs to be organised and understood.
Organisation - to keep things organised makes life so much easier and helps when things need to be done.
Decision making - faster and more open to making a decision within a brief to help move forward faster and do more.

List 5 things that you have achieved. How they helped you progress?

Screen printing - new technique that can help make projects to be different to just a normal print.
Group work skills - it is important to work in a group so have been working on improvement. Still not great but loads better than they were.
Not going on Facebook before 9pm - was such a huge distraction so changed to not go on before so have more time to do other things.
Got a First - left a great feeling of achievement and confidence and makes me want to keep up the same level.
Sold some of my work - felt better about that book and helps knowing what other people think that isn't friends/family about what you do.

List 5 problems that you have had to face. How have you over come them?

Bad flat mates - noisy, ignorant, annoying thiefs, dirty, messy, vile - learnt to deal with it and adapted.
Working in a group - really struggled especially with the first one so did things different in the others to help improve.
Working as well as uni - amount of hours I was working was mounting up so dealt with it and improved time management.

List 5 facts you have learned. When have they been useful?

Facebook is a huge distraction - stopping getting as much done as I could so stopped going on as much and improved work.
You get what you give - if you put more effort in you get more out in both things you learn and results achieved.

List 5 things that you will never do again. Why?

Never neglect CTS - leaving the tasks too long before doing them makes it much harder to complete them so will always do them straight away.
Never leave blogging for another day - everything builds up and makes it a much more daunting task than it needs to be.
