Think think think..

9AM Friday morning is never a good time to have a group discussion about our work and collaborate ideas for group questions - especially today. This mornings question was pretty tough, we could only come up with three, not five, it was the word demonstrate that was throwing us off -:

What questions do I need to be asked that allow me to demonstrate my technical ability?

1. Since starting the course, how have you progressed?

>>In terms of softwares, a lot. I didn't really know what kind of softwares we were to be using when coming into the course, but now I feel I have got to grips with most of them, or at least know the basis of what they do.

2. How well do you understand the functions of the software?

>>When it comes to Flash, I know how to do create most things, yet when it comes the the Actionscript, I don't necessarily understand it. It's easy to just paste in the Actionscript and for the buttons for example to work, however I don't understand what the meaning of it actually is - I would have to copy it from somewhere first to do what I intend to make work. Apart from this, I'm pretty confident about picking up new softwares and trying to have a good understanding of them.

3. From a scale of 1 to 10, what would you rate yourself on your own technical ability? Explain why

>>I rated myself about a 5 - due to this being an average score. I know I try and work hard, yet the final outcome will not always amazing. Especially when you compare yourself to other people - I hate that. If I don't get or understand something, I like to use my own time to figure things out, by the use of online tutorials for example, or go into uni and just concentrate on it. But I was told I'm about a 7? Not entirely sure why, but thanks!
