So after 10 weeks of this course how do I think it stacks up? Well the best thing about this course is each week there is a new and interesting topic to cover. Many of the topics were new to me and some not. I can definitely see that many of the topics will help later in my degree and further into my professional career.
I do have 3 things that I didn't like about the course:
1. The lectures should start on time... We are timetabled to start at 10am so the lecture should start at 10am not 10:15.This just eats into time that could be spent explaining a topic more. If people are late that is their own problem, and I'm sure the lectures can have their chat later in the office.
2. More organisation with regard to the tutorial tasks. The items like the 30 frame movie, cyberjamm and cyber punk were good tasks, but looking for the answer to a bunch of questions that had nothing to do with the course was a big waste of time. Speaking of a waste of time, sitting around in the class room while our tutor tried to find out what it is we were ment to be doing that week.
3. Better communication about what is expected in these blogs. It is pretty pointless to get feed back in week 9 about the first half of the posts when the second half are due in week 10. The marking criteria should have been available at the start of the semester so we knew what it is you are looking for and a better explanation of what is expected.
I understand that this course is more relaxed then some others but you can still be relaxed and have organisation. Especially considering this is a large class communication needs to be spot on so all 300 of us are on the same page. In all I did enjoy the content of the course I think with some refinement of the tutorial tasks and the other points above will make the course a lot better.
