This is no doubts that I learn a lot in this course. It is a very good chance to work with the others and it is also a good experience to keep writing a blog for twelve weeks. I find that it is good to keep writing a blog in English because it can improve my English and also make myself get used to express opinions in English.
I think I am not the one who is used to work with the others because of my personality, but I did try hard to get used to it and I am willing to work. In my group, we are all international students and I have already been study with some of my group mates for two years. Although I know some of them for a long time, I still find that it is difficult to express the thoughts by speech. As English is not our first languages, we have some communication problems in the beginning. I find that we can do better communication on the internet, therefore we had the meeting online in the first few weeks in order to warm up ourselves and later on we have the normal meeting every week in the studio.
In my opinion, it is difficult to finish all the readings that are given by the teachers. Probably it is mainly because of the language problem, I lost the interest in reading in sometime. As it is a continuous process to update the blog, I think self-discipline is important in this process. It is hard to keep updating the blog every week. I think I am still doing good in the blog.
As a design student, I think we put all our efforts on the assignments and we did not have a time to sit down and think why we are here and what are we going to do in the future. This blog provides a place and also an opportunity to let us to think and say.
