My personal development plan could be improved by adding more long term goals. I could also add skills that I need to improve on to complete this course, skills such as animation and graphic design. another way to improve my PDP would be to add more personal goals that I wish to achieve outside of college. I could also get peer assessment on a more regular basis for each of my PDP goals.

MY PDP has improved how I would preform in a positive way in certain situations such as writing a to high standard game review, because I have now learnt how to use a consistent style in my documentation, I also have a much wider knowledge of technological terminology. this is means that is I had to write a game review it would be to a professional standard. My PDP had also improved my time keeping by helping me meet deadlines for work, this would improve my employability prospects by giving me a good college reference and it would also help me in everyday life situations. I have also improved in confidence when talking to a large audience, this is something that I found intimidating at first, but after a practicing in front of my peers and finding out what I did well and what I could improve on, I felt much more comfortable in that situation and I now feel that I could give a professional game pitch. since starting this course in September I have also gained knowledge about how to build and design a computer system, this is a very practical skill as I am looking to build a custom computer in the near future.

(M2)

After I revived my peer evaluation about my PDP I went back and changed certain aspects of my PDP such as, being more consistent with my use of language and terminology. I also went back over my work and added the correct dates to the suitable boxes. making these changes has made my work much easier to understand and has improved to overall quality of my work.

I pitched my presentation at a professional level because I used the skills that I have learnt about in communication and employability such as, using a visual aid to keep my audience engaged in my presentation, I believe this was one of the main factors that my presentation went well, this technique is also very good for keeping visual learners engaged, because this uses one aspect of their learning style. My pitch also had bullet point that I made short and to the point, I did this to keep the audiences attention on my voice, instead of reading a large amount of text off each slide.
Another reason my pitch was at a professional standard is because I was dressed suitable, this gives a professional impression to the audience and raises the overall standard of my pitch.
I feel I could have done slightly better in my presentation if I had a done it a little later in the week, due to the fact I started to cough towards the end of the pitch due to sickness. but overall I felt that I spoke clearly and kept the audience engaged. this was done to the interpersonal skills that I have learnt about during my time in the course. I feel I could have improved my pitch by adding in a couple more slide about my target audience, this was a vital piece of information that I missed from my presentation, missing a slide of this Importance made my presentation seem less professional. My during my presentation I should have slowed my speech down a bit more, because some of the audience may of found it hard to understand me a at times.
