Graphic Design and Illustration Studio / Assessment

Here is the survey that we discussed during class yesterday (Thursday)
If you are present in the studio today (Friday) please take a moment to write your responses and forward them in a word document to me at adteacher@ymail.com

Just so you know, I will also forward these to our front office so they can read and assess your answers.

SELF ASSESSMENT SECTION:

1. a.) Think about all aspects of the class from interactions with your studio mates to interactions with the teacher as well as the completion of your individual class/project assignments. What do you think that you got better at during the course of this class, and what do you think you needed to work harder on?

b.) Is there anything that Mrs. Harman might have done to help you get further along as a student of graphic design? What did she do that seemed really helpful, if anything?

2. a.) If you have particular art / design / creative / presentation strengths, what do you think that you could do to use them in a job?

b.) Have you learned anything new this semester about yourself?

c.) What are the things that being in a collaborative studio environment has helped you to understand better?

d.) What has been your own personal favorite part of this class and of the general atmosphere at Career Center East in general?

e.) What specific things have you not enjoyed about being a student at Career Center East?



CLASS ASSESSMENT SECTION:

1. a.) Are there some specific individuals in the class that you have particularly grown to admire, and if so, who? What are the things that you admire about that particular person? Is this a personal friendship or is it more of a professional admiration?

b.) What quality makes a great student?

c.) What quality makes a great teacher?

2. Would your recommend this class to anyone else? What is the main reason that you would or would not recommend the class? Anything else you feel would help Mrs. Harman with her teaching style or the content of the class?

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
