Assignments First Impressions

Animation Gif


1. What assignments are you most intrigued by?

The first assignment that I am intrigued about is the Reading, because every task will have different contents that could change your perspectives about certain things. It could be a way to help me challenge myself more and see how far I go with my writing capability. I am also hoping that the reading topics are interesting. I'm also curious about Unity3D and I am excited to create my first game. Hopefully, the tutorials are straightforward and easy to understand so I won't have any problem doing the lab tasks during this semester.


2. Is there any extra credit options that grab your attention?

I like all the extra credit options because each of them has different content that could improve us, students, in many ways. For example, Tech-tasks makes you learn different kinds of web-based useful tools that could improve your technological skills. It can also make your blogs and posts more attractive to your readers.

I think Growth Mindset being an extra credit is a good thing because apart from giving us more points, it can also help use clear or minds and think about the ways we do things such as planning our college works. It also help us rethink our opinion about how we deal with failure that it is not a bad thing to fail because it meant that there are more things we would learn to improve and succeed on the next obstacle.

The extra credit that I like the most is the "Extra Commenting" option. I think this is the easiest way to earn more points because we can socialize with our friends around the class through blogging. This is also the best way to show our support to our friends by just commenting on their blog. We could also make new friends throughout the year by just visiting their blog site and might discover similar interest!


3. What kind of things are new/or not to you?

Giving feedback on other students' work is not new to me because we did it last year with our website development projects where we also gave each other tips and help so we could all improved our work. Blog commenting is not a new thing for me even though it has never been an extra credit before and that is the only new thing to me with it. I have never used Unity3d before as well so it could be a new challenge for me this semester. 


4. What kinds of thing you are more excited about?

I am excited to learn how to use Unity3D and create my own game. This project caught my attention since the beginning of the semester as I am fascinated with games and really want to learn the program behind them.


5. Do you like the way the course was divided (with extra credit and tasks)?

Yes. Dividing the course like this is a good idea for students because we have many options to gain credit for this module. Everyone have different things they can excel in, and I think dividing the tasks like this are one of those. What I also like about this distribution is that extra credit is easy, and some tasks can be challenging so it gives the module balance.


6. What do you feel/think about giving other students feedbacks?

I think that giving other fellow students feedback can be very helpful because everyone has different skills and perspectives about the projects that are given to us. Some advices and critiques can change everything.

Twitter List!

Lee jong Suk giving you flowerrrsss Hi guys! How are you doing? I tried to create a List on Twitter. Link to an external site I have never created a Twitter List before so it is a new experience. I also think that this will be useful to me especially in the future as I want to explore more about animators and designers and learn from them. I also think that creating a list of specific topics would help you to find them easily and it is more organized.

Unity Tutorial 04

This week's tutorial lesson was very straightforward and easy to follow. I also did not have any problem with the Unity tutorial videos and the software this time which I am really glad about. I learned how to apply codes that can destroy the objects when the collision is detected. I also know how to add the "Game Over" message in coding if the farmer missed feeding one of the animals. The tutorial lesson also taught us how to spawn the animals at timed intervals so that the animals will appear randomly on the game. Here are the things that I learned for this week's Unity tutorial: Lesson 2.4 New functionality: Animals are spawned on timed interval and walk down on the screen and the animal gets past the player without getting fed, there's a "Game Over" trigger massage at the left bottom of the screen. When the projectile and animal collide, objects are removed right away. New Concepts/Skills: Create custom methods/functions InvokeRepeating() to repeat c...

Feedback Stretegies

  Feedforward The first article that I read is called "Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback" by Marshall Goldsmith. He talks about how feedforward is more helpful than getting feedback. I learn that getting a feedback can have a negative effect to the person who is receiving it because they tend to get personal on their suggestions which some people cannot take. This is when Feedforward enters. Feedforwards is all about people listening to suggestions for the future then learn and help as much as they can. There are also eleven reasons to try Feedforward, but I will be only addressing some of them that I find personally works. 1. We can change the future. We can't change the past. Feedforward helps people focus on a positive future and not a failed past. This means that people who use feedforward does not concentrate on the mistakes of what the other person have, instead they give them advices on how to improve their work better for the future. I also think that giving peo...
