Week Two - Session Two + Exchange

This morning's class began with a lecture down in The Pit where the lecturers were clarifying the visual brief deliverables, and also defining what they meant by 'blogs' and 'reflective diaries'.

In all honesty, it was pretty obvious how to go about the reflective diary right from the start, as we've had to do it for literally every class we've had for the last couple of years, so I was surprised at how many people still couldn't wrap their heads around a 'reflective diary'.

Once we headed on up to the Studio, we continued trying to define our standpoint for the brief, and trying to break it down further and become more specific through the use of journey maps. The journey map was an effective way to find all the smaller aspects of a reasonably large timeline, and then focus in on the most important parts.

At the end of class, we went along to the first EXCHANGE session. This was quite interesting as it gave me an opportunity to find out how other disciplines are reacting to the brief around well-being. It was quite cool seeing how their research differs from ours, and what sorts of stances they were taking on the matter.

During the EXCHANGE session I shared how I had been looking at the '5 Ways of Wellbeing' and the students from the other disciplines found it really interesting and said they hadn't actually used that model during their research, and it gave them another path to research and look into to further their understanding.
