Reflection on my tutor meeting

I found that my tutor meeting with my personal tutor, Tom Scott, was very helpful. We talked about how I have been finding the course so far and I explained to him my difficulties with managing my group work in Design Principles. As mentioned before in my SWOT analysis, one of my weaker points is that I tend to perform less while working within a group, due to group stress. We also talked about my successes this semester, including how much I enjoyed this module and how I performed well in practical lessons in the Computer Systems module. We also talked about Coding Concepts and thehow I believe I have performed in that. It was mentioned that my coding lecturer was aware that the module needed improving for particular types of people and I explained that I found the coding easier due to my past experiences, whereas someone who probably has not done programming before would struggle slightly. It was agreed that e-tivities should be created which will help those who need the extra support.

Reflection on my Mentor

The person who I have chosen to be my Mentor during my studies is my father.

This is because he has my best interests at heart and knows how I work best. He has a neutral view on what I do and he can see issues in different view points, not just his own. This was incredibly important during the groupwork I did in other modules this semester because if there were group disagreements, my Dad would be able to help me calm down and work out the best route of action to take. He also proof read my dissertations, giving me ideas on how to improve them and gave me positive feedback.
