Strengths<\/em><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a fast learner, it takes me a day to learn how to use a program I have not used before, for example the first time I turned on blender I had no idea on what I need to do or how but after few hours I already had a simple sword made. And this experience helped me later when I had to use Maya for 3D modeling, because they are similar but really different at same time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am independent, I usually do not ask for help and try to figure everything out on my own and I rarely ask for someone’s help, usually I will need help in something I have not done before for example sound design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I\u2019m also good in working as a group I always try to get everyone to do something for example in film lessons I always worked in a small group and everyone had something to do we had two people on cameras and 3 people acting and the roles changed threw out the filming to have people do different things and have a brake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaknesses<\/em><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can be easily distracted by friends to talk or if they need help with something that can sometimes become a problem because I have my own work to do. Having to work from home is a huge problem because it’s even easier to get distracted at home by bunch of different things.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I have a challenging time understanding some tasks because English is my 4th<\/sup> language. And that has been a weakness for a while although I have been dealing with this for a while now and slowly it\u2019s becoming less and less of a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And carrying on with the language problem spelling is another one because I know 3 other languages, I try to spell things the why it would be spelled in Latvija or Russia so sometimes I spell things wrong without realising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are asked to self assess their skills on a five-point scale:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 = wide experience <\/td>3 = a little experience <\/td>5 = don\u2019t know <\/td><\/tr>
2 = some experience <\/td>4 = no experience <\/td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
