For this module I needed to write a 2500 word essay on a topic of my choice, centred around the animation/illustration industry. I chose to write about the increase in accessibility of animation, of which I mainly focused on the rise of the internet and advancements in software.
I wouldn't really say that I had any particularly glaring strengths during this module, but I do feel as though I got the writing done in a timely manner (after gathering ideas), as the deadline was closing in (which I admit was my own fault).
My main weakness during this module was mainly that of me being initially slow to get ideas together, to begin writing, meaning I kind of messed myself up in terms of getting the work done. My other main weakness was being messy about my bibliography, in which I would often forget to add the sources right away, meaning I would have to go back and find the right web page and add the reference later, which wasted a fair amount of time.
Even though this module was my least favourite of the entire course, it did provide a bit of a wake up call as to how I should go about writing my essays, and taught me what not to do when beginning to write/writing an essay.
My target for after this module is to improve my essay writing skills in the future, as I will likely need these skills for the third year.
