My first week of DECO1800

An architect's work is not complete until the draft paper is correctly rolled.

After leaving the first lecture for DECO1800 last Friday, numerous questions buzzed around in my brain. 'What do I expect to be doing this semester?', I could hear a voice whisper as I approached the bus stop. I tried to focus on something else, but the questions persisted. 'I want to learn/experience/do...', the voices persisted, 'What are your expectations for this course?'. I mulled over these questions but was unsure how to answer them, so I studied my course description, 'I'm worried about...' it spoke. Minutes blended into hours, the questions persisted. Suddenly, an epiphany tore through my synapses. I rushed to my computer to document my thoughts and confront the questions that had plagued me all day.

I expect to be undertaking a group based development project throughout this semester, working extensively with HTML and JavaScript, whilst simultaneously updating a regular blog, compiling a portfolio and submitted reflective journal entries.

I hope to experience working on a project with a zealous team and complete a project that exceeds the sum of its parts.

I hope that my contributions to the group project will drive it towards a collective goal.

I expect this course to be:

1. Time Consuming
2. Challenging
3. Rewarding
