Week 16 - Extra Credit

-

 I did a tech task this week where I used Adobe Spark to make a quote graphic.



I liked this quote from Albert Einstein, I found it really interesting and relevant to this module. I also felt like the background was relevant.

Time Strategies

( thenounproject.com , a clock with an arrow going clockwise) Time management is going to be seriously important this year. Avoiding procrastination, separating relaxation time and work time in the same place, and being comfortable to do so will all be major parts of our year. I found a few articles resonated with me. What I took from the lifehacker.com article is that we need to whittle down our to do lists to the bare bones and process it in its simplest forms. We need to look at what is right there in front of us. I felt like the message was that once it's simple, it'll be easy. List priorities, start work as soon as possible - these two things I specifically began doing last February when I felt overwhelmed in my first semester. It helped me stay on top of things and avoid guilt when I wasn't working. The businessinsider.com article also touched on listing priorities and ticking these off. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. It also talks a lot about planning fun,...

Week 10 - Unity Tutorials - Countdown Timer

Last week, when I was doing my project, I realised that my timer was set at 59 seconds and that I couldn't add minutes - I thought this needed changing. I found three tutorials to see if I could find a way to add to the timer I already have rather than to completely change it considering it took me quite a bit to get it to work. I selected three tutorials to try out separately and then I'll try and incorporate them into my project on Friday when I do it.  ( pinterest.com , digital alarm clock showing 9:24am) Firstly, I created a 'slider' timer which was really cool. It worked after the usual bumps along the way. I also felt more comfortable with the code than I have been because I'd used most of it when I was doing last week and the week befores' work on the project. However, I don't think this timer would suit my game. I just wanted minutes and seconds, not slider or anything fancier. I also don't need hours or milliseconds but  it was interesting. Then...

Week 21 - Doing the Reading

This week we had to review two of our peers' writings and give feedback. I too received feedback. From what I gathered, I need to rewrite a few pieces to sound less personal and I need to add more references as back up. Initially I hadn't, as I'd been told that references weren't being used but obviously now this is the real deal then they can be added. I'll have to sift through my notes and relink everything so I can give the correct references. This shouldn't be tough as I have several notes made and a detailed bibliography already made. Other than that, I enjoyed giving feedback and seeing others' work compared to my own and also receiving it so that I can better my own writing.
