I finally handed in my Image Analysis for Contextuals last Tuesday and got my feedback this week. The feedback was great the only real problem being that I'd forgotten to include the Bibliography! I was a little disappointed there was no mark to guide me and did ask what kind of mark it would have got. However, I was told it hadn't been looked at according to the grading matrix so it wasn't possible to give one. I was reassured that I had no need to worry, that it was a very good analysis. My written feedback said it was a fantastic first attempt and it contained comments such as brilliant link etc. So I guess I have to accept there isn't much more I can do to improve on it. I should be pleased with my effort and hand it in as it is. However, I would still have been happier had I got a grade. As I still don't know if very good means 60% or 80%?
Now I'm moving onto the next part of the Contextuals Assignment but hopefully staying with the topic of visual culture.

Formal Intervention Feedback
For my Formal Intervention assigment I received back last monday with my mark and feedback. I got 64% for it and really good feedback. I was really pleased with my grade as I'd been off sick for the last 3 weeks before it was due in. The feedback was really helpful and has certainly given me ideas as to where I can improve on the next assignment. My research needs to be broader which I knew and more in depth. I also need to experiment more with my photography and try and do more shoots rather than just stopping when I find a photo I'm happy to submit. I do understand this is important in terms of my development as a photographer but it just wasn't possible on my Formal Intervention assignment. I found it really hard to get assistance with my shoot and I'm not physically capable of doing location shoots on my own. I was told prior to starting the course that I would get support with these things but have since found out that I can only get support in and around college. I therefore have to rely on the help of my family and friends. Finding times when they are free and I am well proved difficult. As far as the research goes I can hopefully do better with that on my next assignment "Cover Story" but again this depends on my health. I will always endeavor to improve on my previous grades. It would be fantastic if I could attain a First Class Honours degree and this is my aim. However, realistically given my on going health problems I wouldn't be at all disappointed with a 2:1 and with a mark of 64% I don't doubt I can achieve that.
So pleased with my progress so far!
