Overview of the Paper

After having the final presentation today, which I think went quite well, the paper has officially come to an end.

Overall, my preferred assessment was the app one, mainly because I am majoring in Visual Communication Design, and designing an app interface really appealed to me. In terms of the second project, I didn't really enjoy it quite as much, although nonetheless it was a good experience figuring out some basics to electronics and breadboarding, along with seeing just what we are capable of. It was quite interesting to think about the potential for future concepts, and what we could experience in a few years time. In terms of our project, the active alarm, I think it was quite successful. Our idea was quite a creative, quirky, and experimental one which allowed us to have a bit of fun with the project.

Our group worked fairly well together across the two projects, and made sure to meet up on a regular basis to discuss and share ideas with one another. In both projects, the workload was split roughly 50/50.

With this being said, overall it was a good experience taking this paper as an elective. In terms of feedback, I would possibly suggest to have a day where the paper is promoted and explained in-depth, as when I signed up for the paper (based on myMassey descriptions) I assumed it would be revolving around web design, app design, and forms of coding etc.
