REFLECTIONS

Design principles is a module that can't be expressed with words. It is really leading me to a design world. I was a complete beginner who had no image of the design world, and all I could do was doing everything without any direction. However, after getting knowledge from this module,  I can have a better understanding about design. This module really taught me the design principles from zero, that's why every design principles I learnt is so valuable to me. I realized that I'm pretty enjoying this whole module and always trying to keep up the pace. Every assignment I received is very significant and useful for me to improve my skills. Some particular tasks might feel challenging, but I really enjoyed the whole progress and the outcome. Sometimes I didn't feel satisfied with my outcome, but through the ups and downs I faced, I found out what is the missing part. I'm glad that I can be in this Design Principles class with Dr Charles and also pleased to receive the lectures from Dr Jinchi. I really hoped to get more briefing for the particular project, but it's okay, maybe we can get it next.
