Exit Interview:

Question 1: Which assignments did you enjoy and especially why?

I personally really enjoyed doing both the Algodoo challenges and the flash lighting effects/Animate- Masking ,
the reason I enjoyed the Algodoo challenges was because I enjoy being challenged to think creatively to solve problems and as for the Animate- Masking I found it to fun to mess around with it.

Question 2: Which assignments did you struggle with and why?

I struggled with the Game Journalism and Minecraft Slideshow assignments. In the case of the game journalism, it was just difficult to do as the game was enjoyably challenging while in the case of the slideshow assignment I found it difficult due to my drive to make things both accurate and overly detailed.

Question 3: What innovative idea or software would you like to explore?

I would like to go more into 3D modeling programs and learn to use them to their fullest extent.

Question 4: What should you have done to do better?

I should have put more effort into the game journalism assignments as I didn't complete them all.

Question 5: Sum up your experience in IT

I had a great time in IT and genuinely enjoyed everything I did.

Day Log:

Summary: Got mauled to death twice by wolves, but ended with a good run so to speak though. Sadly there is not much else to say about it, as for survival I recommend keeping your carry weight low and to keep moving, don't harvest animals for meat as it wastes time, if you find coffee grab it and use it to extend the period that you can move forwards without having to sleep.
