MODULE EVALUATION

I feel like this is the least time given for finishing the whole module. I don't know if it is due to the pandemic or its just my own personal issues, but I am definitely working under loads of stress in this module. As the deadline is around one month after COP's I tend to feel so dead and not motivated to work for this module after the COP deadline. I procrastinated and had no motivation to work for the almost 2 weeks after the COP deadline. I felt so stressed every day, yet, have no motivation to start doing work. Whenever, I got that slight motivation to start, I felt like I was having a creative block and that my ideas were so bad. 

I also realised that I tend to magnify my stress a lot. I always feel like there is no time left to finish everything and I would not be able to handle it before the deadline. This habit of magnifying my stress is giving me even more stress. However, I would say on the other hand, it helped me to work efficiently..? I started to officially start working around one and a half week before the deadline. Before that, I did some brief research and reviewed the brief to get myself familiarised with the requirements. After officially starting to actually work on the design work, I felt like the pressure that I gave myself actually pushed me to produce a large amount of work within a day.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with my final outcome. This module requires a lot of observation work and responds to feedback. These kind of primary resources from peers actually is turns out to be taking a big part in my research work. I would say crits with peers were the most useful primary research. I even changed the whole design direction 4 days before the deadline. It was tough and I was working under a lot of stress, but luckily I ended up liking the final outcome even more when compared to my work before the change. Peer feedback really had helped me a lot in the module and their feedback actually acted as a primary research for my work. Although I was not comfortable in attending the google hangout crits, I tried my best to get feedback from peers. I texted my friends for comments and asked them "what if"questions in order to get more audience's feedback.
