COP evaluation form

1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
I learnt about lots of different places to find information and articles online. I also developed the skill of making imagery based on political issues but I am aware how poor my work is in comparison to the artists I have investigated.  Before COP I didn’t really think about politics much and I was blissfully unaware of a lot of global news, I now feel more clued up and interested. I wish I was more politically engaged when I was younger.





2. What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your practical outcomes?
I did not know about google books or jstor or google scholar. I now feel confident finding and locating books in the library. I now understand how difficult it is to go from reading a book/ information then finding some way to utilise it in an essay. i find it a lot easier to take in information when I read aloud, however this isn’t always acceptable when in public.


3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
I think my journal was my biggest strength throughout my this COP project. I will continue to create topic/political imagery; I want to make an illustrated news zine that creates an insight into my take on current global events. I also had a lot of conversations with people about glabal politics and social debates when I was trying to think of more things to draw; this lead to some very interesting conversations and I would like to further this in the future by maybe interviewing members of the public to see what kind of issues people are really passionate about.




4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
Organisation Time management; I will work solidly throughout COP next year rather than relaxing and panicking at the end. Also I will choose a topic that I am truly interesting in which would mean I will be more enthusiastic about research and investigating the subject. I am not confident with my reading speed and get very easily frustrated plus I feel like my writing skills, sentence structure and order is affected by my lack of books read throughout life so far and could be much improved.





5. Identify five things that you feel will benefit you during next years Context of Practice module?
Working solidly throughout not letting the tasks build up and having to retrospectively blog.
Reading books by allowing myself time, read in manageable chunks.
Work with DSA- study support sessions to help with organization and writing. Maybe get coloured overlays to help with reading
Investigate a topic I am truly interested in rather than trying to become interested through investigation.
Attending EVERY planned session without fail.
Ask for guidance rather than trying to figure it out myself.
Create a plan of action/ use a calendar to figure out my time and organize myself more effectively.

The evaluation of your work is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self-evaluation process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.
