Screen Based Communication 2 Results

We got the marks back for our website the other day. I had been looking forward to this since we handed it in as i had tricked myself into thinking that i had done really well and i was really pleased with my finished site. I knew my sketchbook would let me down but i completely forgot that it was mainly marked on the work in my sketchbook, which i really don't like about design. I much prefer doing a sketchbook almost in a way that only i can understand, one for my own use and that is not marked as part of a project. Getting the marks back then and it finally hit me when i was reading the feedback that i had forgotten that it was marked on my other work more than my site. Having said that, i did get high enough to boost my average up but 56 is still not what i would have wanted.

I'm not going to let this put me down as after reading the feedback on the sheet i think i know where i went wrong and it is not the end of the world. I just have to put it behind me and use it as a learning curve. As well as that, i remembered what we had been told at the beginning of the year about coming into the 2nd and final year of our studies and that was that each grade we got in this year would be roughly 10 marks less than what we would have got in the 1st year. This helped a lot and to be able to still get over 50 when the grading is obviously getting a lot harder takes the sting out of it a bit.
