Jessica's Introduction

 Jessica's Introduction [IDM]

Week 2, video tasks


Hello my name is Jessica. I was born and have lived in Ireland my whole life although my ethnicity is Chinese. 

I chose to do this course because there was a lot of stuff I had really wanted to do such as photography, designing websites, coding, film and so much more and this course seemed like the perfect one. I wanted to fulfil all of those wants and this course is so broad and included everything I want to do. 

I would say that I am most interested in coding and learning about how apps, websites and different software work. 
Before I found this passion, I was very intrigued in photography. I always knew I wanted to pursue photography as something to do on the side. 
Not too long ago, I found a deep interest in creating content for entertainment. I found myself quite invested in film, acting and directing.
 I had come to realise that I could accomplish all of that through Creative Digital Media once I read more about this course.

I look forward to learning about the different aspects of creativity through CDM.
I am also quite thrilled to be learning about the many different functions of a camera in a more advanced way, the different camera angles and lighting that can change an image completely. 
Although I do have a bit of knowledge on web development, I am exceptionally looking forward to the project that Web Development 1 requires. 
I believe that Visual Creativity is going to offer me a new way of looking at the world. I will learn how to generate ideas and look at different textures and colours that make up our world in depth and learn how to appreciate them.

Study Skills

  Study Skills Week 3, Video tasks In the series of videos that I watched, I learned many study skills from them to set myself up for success and make my college life a little bit easier. In the first video, 'The 3 Best science-based study tips' uses many different resources from universities and professional studies. Mike states that he is a doctor working in California. He shows evidence-based learning strategies about how to study for exams and how to train our brains effectively while backing everything up by science.  What I learned is that the more brainpower and effort one uses, the more retention one will get. This is because you can learn more under difficult conditions since it would be harder to forget. This had made me realise why many people in my life had told me that trying to study lying down or on your bed won't work as well, this now makes sense as to why.  There is a study by Kornell that states ultimately quizzing yourself is a great strategy for study...

Peer Review #1

Peer Review #1 Week 5, Reading Task  For this week's reading task, we were asked to review a blog from 2 of our peers. I had received two blogs that I found very well written and it was interesting and insightful to see how they differed from mine and each other.  I learned a lot from reading these blogs by my fellow classmates. I learned that people have very different writing styles even if it is writing on the same topic and I personally found that really engaging.  I also learned that everything can always use some constructive criticism or advice. Although the blogs I have read were exceptional and written great, there was still room for improvement.  I had also compared my peer's blogs and my blogs to gain insight on how I can also improve my blogs. Their blogs also helped me how to reference since I found it difficult to insert references into my blogs. The blogs I read taught me a lot about how people's opinions can differ so much and it was interesting to re...
