Self-Directed and Continuous Learning

In this competency I am not so strong yet. I find it difficult to constantly reflect on everything I do because I am not used to work like this. When I make something at home I just build something and do not think about it or reflect on it. But I realize that reflecting is a very good way to learn from your mistakes. I think I am in the awareness state at this moment. The previous months I feel I have developed this competence very much. Especially during the RSLW for example I did a HTML course, a Photography course and I visited the DDW. In the beginning of the year I spent most of my time on calculus because I don’t have to do it again next year. After the exam I focused on my drawing and I started in the book: Sketching the basics. This taught me the beginning of design sketching and can be very helpful to express my vision on design end to show other people what I am thinking. 

I also attended a workshop product photography. This can help me to learn if I have made a product that I can visualize it in the best way. From Monday 4 November till Wednesday 6 November I attended a workshop, which tough me to build a site for my showcase. Although it covered only the basic of HTML and CSS I now understand how it works. It was the basics of HTML and CSS so I can understand how the program works.  I think I am still in an awareness state because there is still a lot to learn but I think I improved a lot since I wrote my PDP.
