Task 21. University Reflection

University to me is just a means of gaining the knowledge I need to create my career in computer games programming. By doing this course I have realised what areas, so far, I am capable of doing and enjoy doing and what areas I dislike. Personally I believe that the money spent on university is ridiculous, considering 90% of my course can be completely done at home thanks to blackboard. I’ve also found the feedback on work very minimal in comparison to college. But despite my complaints it’s all regardless as I have to go to university in order to get my degree which will then hopefully get my job and there’s no faster way I know of to get to the position I wish to work at.

Looking back there is only one thing I would really change to what I’ve done so far and that would be to try and get more motivation especially recently where work is beginning to feel very monotonous and none of my modules have really explained how this information is useful when I hopefully end up working as a programmer. I’m enjoying and am proud of the work I have done so far and I know it’s the best of my ability, the only downside is that most other students I have talked to all say that the first year is worth diddly squat towards the actual degree and is more of a knowledge base for you to begin your more ‘serious’ 2 years.
