Module Feedback from Level 5

OUIL501
This module was an enjoyable one last year. I got to express my concerns as a part of my practice, and this, I believe I can do quite well. If I'm passionate about something, I can analyse it to death, so the written element of context of practice is easier now. (Last year I had no idea what I was talking about in cop, I couldn't choose my own subject so I had no interest in what I did, so of course I did REALLY badly.) To make sure I have success in my dissertation, I really need to be interested in my subject, which is why I've already began investigation of my research project. 
I need to improve my introduction and conclusion, as well as link my theories to the texts I read.

PPP was my best outcome of the year! I'm really happy with this grade. It shows that I am naturally good at evaluating my progress and looking ahead to the future. I hope that I can continue at this level, I just need to stay confident and believe in my work/ abilities.

I didn't feel too great about the responsive module. Throughout, I'd find it difficult to manage my workload, and organise the projects. I found myself trying to do everything at once, which meant I applied myself too thinly to each project, and generally could have done everything a bit better. I need to work on my problem solving, and fast, if I want to improve on my practical work. 

OUIL504
This was my first project after first year, and I don't think I'd fully got out of that same way of working. I was pretty certain that first year was a disaster, I wasn't happy with a lot of the work I did, or the outcomes. It was all new to me. The only success came at the end of the year with PPP; I worked on a project I really liked, got into and enjoyed the outcome. The difference was that i'd settled down, got used to everything, and gained a momentum that made me very ready to take on the last project. In a similar way to this, I found the start of second year to be daunting, I had to learn many new processes and I got stressed out again, and was unable to apply myself as well as I could have. There was a success - my prints - and this gave me a new outlook on how I make my work. 
My entire time on the course has been trial and error and improvement (which is what it's meant to be, probably?) I have learnt a lot, and I have improved as a person more than I will admit to myself. 
The main place I keep falling short - 
ASKING FOR HELP. I can't, when I'm feeling rubbish is when I'm the least likely to ask for help/ improve. I need to try and stop this from happening by rising above whatever it is that makes me feel bad and getting help on whatever it is that is confusing me.
For this project I could have improved on:
- Time Management
- Documentation of work (more thorough) 
- Pro actively conceptualise Initial ideas 
- Keep practical investigation consistent
- Develop a higher level of written and visual communication
- Wider research into Illustration
- Recognise potential Audiences 

OUIL505

I enjoyed completing 505, I made images I was really proud of, as well as reasonably successful, commercial items. I could have improved this project by being more consistent with my evaluation.
