Feedback on your work seen in class:

Overall good standard of output but a lot of vague


documentation on your blogs. Some blogs have hardly
any written element.
Remember - You are marked not only on the final
photographs but the process of getting to the final
choices.

Blogs - need to be clearer about headings. Do not make it


hard for us to know what is relevant to each assignment.
Create pages / sections relating to each assignment.
Research is lacking and remember to credit sources and
link back to this.
Rushed/lazy work - we can tell.
