Reflection 2
Workshop-7
Workshop description
In week 7, workshop- 7 held on different topics, related research work, such as Research
approaches, Data types, Data sources, and Ethics. During that week, I also learnt about
interviewing and observing. Workshop was ended with the discussion held on data analysis and
assumption testing topics.
Thoughts and feelings during the workshop
During workshop, I was a bit nervous in start, but after sometime, it seemed quite interesting.
As I learnt many things related to the design process like sources of primary and secondary, pros
and cons of these sources. Secondary topic was Ethics and many activities as ethical group
discussion, Interviewing for Design Projects were conducted including ethics.
Thoughts and feelings after the workshop:
Now that I was given a few days to think about the experience, I was surprised to the level of
knowledge and ethical skills that I have obtained during my whole tenure in workshop.
What can you learn from this workshop?
I leant that I had many weak points from interview point of view, hence I can modify those
attributes of myself, which are necessary for the interview process.
What can do to develop yourself further in the context of this workshop?
I need to become more effective and my behavior of observing is changed. I could start a
research base project.

Reflection 3
Workshop – 8
Workshop description:
In workshop- 8, many different topics, related Prototyping early and later binding was
discussed and also held some activities related from prototype techniques
Thoughts and feelings during the workshop:
During workshop, I learnt about early and later prototypes, which are so helpful for my
professional career. In that workshop, a topic “Rapid prototyping” was discussed in brief. In
Rapid prototyping, I learnt about quick and rough manifestation of many concepts, that means
transform your concepts into feasible and testable model. It have many advantages in case of
money saving
Thoughts and feelings after the workshop:
I thought after the workshop that early rapid prototyping is very useful in making 2D designs
for different models. For many of 3D models, I used later rapid prototyping. That workshop was
really helpful for my present work.
What can you learn from this workshop?
I leant that I had many problems in model design but after that workshop, I learnt about
sketching, storyboarding, paper prototyping, and wire framing.
What can do to develop yourself further in the context of this workshop?
I need to become more energetic and my aim is changed. I could start a designing model
based on the prototyping approaches.

Reflection 4
Workshop – 9
Workshop description:
In workshop- 9, Learning was main topic, which means able to plan, execute the work, and
takes reviews for that work. Also discussed about real launches and some assignment held on
that workshop.
Thoughts and feelings during the workshop:
During workshop, I learnt about Learning launches and different steps of it. Workshop was
interesting for managing working at your organization that was business oriented. I also learnt
many things from different actives held at workshop.
Thoughts and feelings after the workshop:
After the workshop, I thought that learning was a first step to start anything for my career. As
per business requirement, anyone can learn better from his or her bad experiences. In that
workshop, I learnt about refining, that was necessary for my professional development.
What can you learn from this workshop?
I leant that spend a little more time for rethinking on your ideas on the bases of feedbacks. I
also learn that learning is best way to make your future bright.
What can do to develop yourself further in the context of this workshop?
I am so excited with my future planning after this workshop and different activities held on
this workshop.
