I think my reflective skills have improved greatly whilst studying at Loughborough. Normally after a design project, I would not reflect on it or think about what areas I had done well, what areas could be improved, etc. But being given the capacity to reflect and communicate amongst my course mates has helped me improved.
I found the one-to-one tutorials during some modules to be quite informative as well as the lectures that were prepared for each module. It helped me open a new perspective towards design as well as provided a structured, methodical way for executing my design work.
