Reflective Statement 

At the beginning of the academic year Maya and most of the other software's were completely new to me. Even though I found it difficult it made it easier knowing that we were starting from scratch and learning the basics. I feel that over the course of first year I have gotten the hang of most of the basic elements of Maya but I still feel that I could go over some of the tutorials that I struggles with to make sure I fully understand the process. 

In terms of time management I feel that I kept on top of the tutorials fairly well although I need to be stricter in terms of setting myself deadlines to make sure that I complete work on time. 

The adobe software (e.g. premiere and after effects) was fairly new to m, however I found that I picked most of the information up quickly. Overall, I think that I was successful in completing all Maya tutorials to the best of my ability.
