Growth Mindset College Students

A person with a growth mindset is someone who can learn from they're mistakes, who promises to do better next time , who says they can improve their work even better. A person with a fixed mindset is someone who does lose hope and gives up after feedback or a low grade, who believes they can't do any better and that the subject is too hard.

One thing that stands out for me in college is not the work itself but having the proper mindset that is required to survive yes I mean survive in college. I know that is a harsh and negative word to use but one thing we have been taught our whole lives in school and outside is to not worry or be stressed out. One factor I'd like to point out is feedback ; "the truth hurts" and that saying is 100% correct, the work you put in will always be judged in a way you wont't like whether it is to help improve your work or belittle it.

In Carol Dweck's TED talk , she goes over about the power of the word "yet". She tells the story of a High school in Chicago who conducted a test where some didn't pass the test got the results "Not Yet". I myself found this very intriguing as it wasn't as such a negative result; the words "Not yet" meaning hard luck or learn and improve your results next time instead of the hateful and sickly words of "Fail" which causes such unhappiness especially if you worked your hardest.

Prototype: First Playable

Source: Myself For my project this week, I worked on getting my character moving around the terrain and testing that out with the "on ground" feature that was discussed in our Unity tutorial 3 and put into our C# script . We had the player, jump and move that is what I wanted to mainly focus on and this was a difficult task and I had to go over the tutorials again just to be sure but I got it working in the end! My character's view will be first person in my game so I had to add a FPS controller to the player , I had to get one from the assets store off Unity, adding the main camera to the player was and angling it so it was attached above the character's body was quite easy; getting the camera to move with the player was ever more difficult. These videos provided me with great help into attaching my FPS controller and camera to my character! Attach the camera Adding the FPS controller

Introduction

My name is Aaron Mulholland, I am 19 years old and I'm in my second year of college in TU Dublin doing Creative Digital Media. The module in which I'm doing this blog is for Multimedia Development 1 and I hope to pass this.... hopefully XD. Before heading into TU Dublin I first went to a PLC in Dunboyne and did the exact same course I'm doing now; after completing my year there I decided I wanted to take a career in the art of designing on computers as I heard many positives about this chosen career especially in the money ! Technological University Dublin (TUD) logo The hardest part of my first year occurred during the Lockdown during the early stages of Covid-19 when I was in my second semester. It was a tough time for work and trying to work at home and online with limited resources such as cameras, adobe software and the Mac's that the college provided which was where I did most of my work for the modules and to move from that to my Windows laptop was very diffi...

Game Design

Firstly, What is a game? A game is designed to create entertainment, relaxation and in a way let the player or players enjoy a place where they can be something else but to also have fun.
