Reflection of the plan
I am falling way behind the plan because Tuesday 14th was supposed to be the day when I aim to finish my design but I have not even started to put in details.
Also I did not work on this project on the days that I said I would be because I had received other assignments which had shorter deadlines or needed more work.
Thursday 16th focuses on evaluate of the design cycle
Thursday I will finish up my evaluation and get ready to submit it on Friday.
Friday 17th focuses on evaluate of the design cycle and due date of the design cycle report
On this day I will submit my work and have PARTY TIME!
Reflection on Friday 10th
At the beginning of the lesson I had to go measure different parts of the building and after i came back i had technical problems such as my computer did not have sketchup so that took up a lot of time. However I made a basic template of how my DT lab will look like so I have done a part of my plan.
