Sketch up Room with pool



Exit Interview - January 2019

1. Comment about your work ethic in this course. 
I believe that I could've worked a lot harder than I showed. the problem is that I easily get distracted by other and what they're doing. I can get work done and I believe that i put effort into projects but like I said I get easily distracted, so its not my best work 

2. Which assignments did you enjoy and why? 
I enjoyed the Adobe projects (Photoshop and Premier Pro) because it expanded my knowledge of those things. the premier pro video experience actually helped me recently in a Bio project to make my own video and handing it in. I liked the Minecraft project because we had lots of time to do it and had freedom in what to do. Sketchup was also a really cool thing to use, making houses and offices and learning what 3D modeling can be used for.
Playing Raft was a mixed experienced, it was difficult for me because we had to work 24/7 ( and that's apparently a problem for me), but playing the game itself was really fun. another thing I liked was dynamic systems 


3. Which assignments did you struggle with and why?
The assignments that i struggled the most was Thunkable, because i didn't have a phone at the time to easily do the projects, so it was done through a android simulator on the computers. That was really the only thing that was problematic for me
