week 7, VU visit

this week was supposed to be the second week of VU visit but since the last week was cancelled its going to be our first VU visit. ms megan is down as planned and she was taking over both the subjects (writing for web and this subject too). so sometimes, its a bit confusing when the same lecturer is there for two subjects.

she looked through our proposals and as for me, i wrote up more because i felt it was best to show her more of my work and do a little extra since she could check it and give a feedback. i wrote roughly half of the proposal and showed it to her, she made alot of changes and made me think about the whole project further. there were some issues that were not too clear such as the deliverables and also the target audience.

after talking with her about it, i was more confused and stressed out but just as she suggested i took a day to re-think everything and started to make changes on the proposal.

we had a class discussion (which is something i really like) but unfortunately we dont do it often during our classes usually. this was the best way to get other people's opinions and also suggestions and this would improve our work. i got alot of feedback and from the suggestions that my classmates made during the discussion, i got more ideas which was a really awesome thing.

as for the assignment, the DVD was due this week. and we were asked to hand it in directly to ms megan before she leaves. i had already finished up the DVD two weeks ago! :) because i was doing it on a friends laptop (using a mac) since i couldnt install adobe encore on my pc. i did it much earlier because my friend was free then and i figured it was best to finish that up and focus more on the final year project.

although i had finished it up, i had trouble burning the DVD because her laptop doesnt have a DVD burner!!!! it made me panick but finally she found a friend who happened to have a DVD burner so we installed the software on that and burnt the DVD. it was done on time and i was so relaxed and free because i didnt have to panick about it last minute.

most of my friends who were using adobe encore faced alot of problems burning and completing the final product. i heard it was some bug that they resolved later on. i was just glad i used DVD studio pro instead of trying to work with adobe encore because to me, DVD studio pro was much easier to handle.

after handing in the assignment to ms megan and also after completing all the classes, she made appointments with us to meet everyone individually. it was really useful because i was able to ask her so many questions that i had doubts about and clear out my project further.

overall this week alot of work was done and it was done efficiently i would say! :)
