Angela: was comfortable doing Horror Genes and found it easy because of her completed summer work. However she found treatments difficult but was still able to successfully complete it. Angela would like to improve by learning to use the mac room scanner as well as her attendance. Tomas: completed textual analysis and was comfortable doing this has it had done a similar task last year. Tomas also found his task easy because he enjoys writing and completed it on time. To improve Tomas would have like to understand the plot of every movie so he could go in more depth for the analysis. Natasha: Completed the website and created the logo. Natasha was comfortable with her task set because she has experience with creating a weebly from AS however she feels she could have made all the pages interactive by adding more GIFs and adding more photos to the logo. Overall she is proud of her logo initial she started the logo and was going for a complicated look but ended up not liking it as much as the final logo as she feels being simply is much better. Natasha feels as that if she read through the task's worksheet properly she would have found the task a lot more simpler from the beginning. Overall the team is happy with the outcome of our first task as we all managed to complete our tasks on time and properly. |
