Week 4 3D E-Learning (Lab 1) - 3D Mindset

Does multi-tasking give you a real or false sense of having accomplished something?
Personally, I feel that it gives me a real sense of having accomplished something as long as I produce the same results that is expected of me. I agree on the point that we should be doing things the old fashioned way which is doing things by single-tasking as it may allow me to produce better results and also prevent myself from being confused over different matters.


Is learning 3D and design different from learning programming, or is all learning the same? Why?
I feel that learning is different for every single subject. For 3D and design, it requires plenty of exposure and experience. As we become more exposed to many different design elements, we will get to think creatively and having a 3D mindset we creating designing things. As for programming, it requires us to have maximum amount of practice, practice and practice in order to do well for it. However, they do have one similar and important factor, which is failure. When we fail to accomplish the desired result, we will find different ways and methods to achieving it. During this process, we will learn more things instead of whatever we are supposed to follow and hence, become better at it.


The article states that "Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual". Do you agree with this? Do you feel that you approach your learning in the best way - if yes, how, and if no, how can you change your work style?
I agree with the article that "Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual." Finding the right learning method is very crucial for one. There may be so many different learning methods and styles but finding that perfect one is a matter of testing and trying these methods. I don't think that I'm approaching my learning in the best way because I still do not produce the desired results that I want. I should be disciplined and more focused in my work which brings the problem of multi-tasking in my work.


What are your thoughts about the last paragraph in the extract?  
I agree with the last paragraph in the extract that communication is very important to have success in business and design. Communicating properly will result in passing information from one to another with the closest meaning to what one is exactly think of. And yes, the ability to write an email, give and take constructive criticism, articulate a solution to a problem, and in some situations talk with a client are foundational skills necessary for success.


Should your lecturers also focus on your work attitude, or just leave you to sink or swim on your own? Why? 
I feel that lecturers should provide us with the basic necessary information with the assignment that we are tasked to complete. This gives us a motivation to do the assigned task as we have an idea of how we can complete it. Throughout the assignment, if we encounter any problems, that's when lecturers can help and also provide us some additional tips. Also, there should be bonus marks for any additional works that are being used in the product of our work so that we will look in depth in our work and produce better and creative animations.
