• There is a desire for shorter deadlines so that you do more work – that somehow the responsibility for the amount of work you do is somebody else’s. You could organise this in your learning agreements – set yourself short projects with precise deadlines – take control of your learning!

Project outline

Project outline

• As individuals you must work out what your strengths are and use these within the group.

feedback

• Three people wanted a solid brief reflective of those that they believe they would receive in industry – the flexible brief was there to enable a wide range of approaches. It was up to the group to create as many rules as they wanted – some groups created very specific criteria so I am unsure what the issue is here as there was scope to be as narrow or precise as one wished.
