Reflective Journal Entry (first week):

What I am expected to do in this course:

Based on what I know of this course, I expect to be doing idea generation through brain storming. Also have to work and learn teamwork and as a team we have to reflect and refine different design ideas.  We have to critique each other’s ideas in a manner which is constructive and valuable.

And also hopefully by the end semester be able to deliver, as a team, a finished project.

 I want to learn new design techniques in new design space, I want to learn how to ideate and be able to explore range of solutions by learning new programing languages and tools.

Speaking about programing languages, I’m worried about that bit because I never enjoyed programing that much as I consider myself a Database guy.

I hope that I can overcome that weakness by doing this course

My expectations for this course:

My expectation of this course are very high and I think I will learn a lot through this studio course.

I hope through this course I can learn about the design process. Through this course, I hope to develop further understanding of the nature of design and the design process.

I hope to develop skills in the communication of design ideas, approaches and outcomes through a variety of forms. I am expecting to develop skills in the management of team-based projects, from a project and team perspective. So I am overly excited and a bit nervous.
