My first semester of grad school is officially over. It was a journey that I didn’t expect and couldn’t have predicted. So far I’ve made some great friends and learned a ton. Although, it wasn’t numbers and facts we learned so much, but rather concepts, the ability to take criticism constructively, and introspect, among other things. Final presentations went relatively well, at least for me. The jury wasn’t 100% supportive of my drawings and some other elements, but the overall impression I got was “you f’ed up A, B, C, and D the first time… we complained… you accepted our comments, reworked things and fixed A, B, C, and D satisfactorily and good for you.” I thought it struck a good balance between encouraging pats on the back and cautionary, yet nurturing advice for the future.
Here are my boards:
