I made my very first project in design today, and I am quite pleased with it.
The assignment was to create a 4x4x4 cube out of foam core board. Professor Massey demonstrated one method of creating the cube in class on Tuesday, and today we all had to make our own.
I got mine on the first try! I could still see some things that weren't perfect with it, but it was comparatively a lot better than most of the other first trys.
I asked Prof. Massey if I should make another one/do it over, and he said that he wouldn't. He said that he noticed really only one area that could be fixed, but it was not a big enough mistake to lower my grade. I think that means I will get an A+ on the project! We are mostly being graded on our craftsmanship on this project, and it will be a major part of our grades on our other projects as well.
I really hope I do well in this class, not only to bring up my GPA, but to make some good work that I can present at my Sophomore Major Advancement Interview next semester. I suppose I'll just see how it goes, and maybe next time I can write about something a little more creative.
