My thoughts on upcoming assignments

Hello!!

In today's blog post, I will be writing my opinion on my upcoming assignments and extra credit assignments. To begin I want to say that this module is going to keep me on my toes. I tend to find myself leaving big assignments until the last minute because there are so many things going on in lectures and labs of other modules. I find that this module suits better to me because there are weekly tasks that have to be submitted most days. This kind of system works better because I can find the time to put the effort into my weekly tasks and they are also fun and interesting. The only thing that I am not looking forward to is the reading and writing academic style... I'm just not built for that level of English... but I will try my hardest.

I am very excited to get into the world of gaming this year even though I'm not a massive fan. I think it would be very cool to learn the backgrounds, in and outs of the gaming world. I am yet to do any Unity tutorials but I'm sure it will be fun.

Blog comments: I'm looking forward to reading and commenting on other peoples blogs because I think it will give me an insight into their lives or how they are getting on or feeling about college. By commenting on their blogs it will be a good way of communicating with people I have never talked to before. Feedback is always a good thing and could help you to improve.

Extra credit assignment: I think doing extra credit assignments could boost your grade a lot or just take a lot of pressure off you if you are majorly stuck trying to do tasks or other assignments from other modules. This system can give people a lot of opportunities to learn more and be stress-free while doing it. I would like for extra credit assignments to be in other modules throughout the rest of my modules in college.

Game idea research

 Hello everyone!  I have finally decided on a game idea that I want to recreate! It wasn't particularly difficult for me to chose but I knew it would have to be a choice between two games! I wanted to choose between either flappy bird or Nintendogs! I chose... Nintendogs!!! I named my game "Puppy Paws". I chose Nintendogs because I was always interested in the game itself and I thought that it could be a potential challenge to recreate the game. I know, why do I want a challenge when I am already drowning in work that I have barely any time to do? I don't have the answer to that question just yet but let's hope the challenge is worth it! Nintendogs has a lot of elements to it that is impossible for me to create this semester. I plan to take out a lot of difficulty to the game and only focus on the basics but with a twist!   To start, the dog owner (the player)will own a puppy. They must name it and train it! Basic training will have already been complete (learning...

Feedback Strategies

 Hello!  Today I will be talking about different feedback strategies. Last week I spoke about my thoughts on feedback in general but today I will be going into more dept and talk about how I can give feedback to someone else as well as my general thoughts. I have read two articles about feedback:  Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback  by  Marshall Goldsmith and  How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk  by Adam Grant.  The first article I read was  Try feedforward instead of feedback . I found this article very interesting and the title immediately caught my eye. In the article, Goldsmith talks about both the positive and negative sides of feedback. Goldsmith says that feedback can benefit a person but also can focus on the past and what has already occurred. He then suggests using the method of 'feedforward'. This is when a person suggests how to improve in the future and suggests help. I have never heard of feedforward until I read ...

Tech Tip: Blogger design templates

 Hello!!  I decided to chose a new blog design, the design is quite simple so my readers can focus more on my words rather than the site surrounding my words. I used the design template "notable" and customised the colour to blue (my favourite colour). I was unable to change the background image but I prefer my blog sweet and simple. I would highly recommend to anyone reading who has their own blogs, to redesign your blog to suit you and make it more personal so your readers can learn a little bit more about you. Thanks for reading another tech tip!! Student online, going offline <3
