Week 6

Reflection

This week I finished the third and last training for gmetrix and each time i got a score of 1000. As I went further along I was using less and less hints and by the last tests I only used around 4-5. I also got increasingly faster and doing the tests with the first one taking around 40 minutes to the last one taking a little more than 20 minutes.  


Success

I would definitely call this week a success with me finishing the trainings. I think that the test will take more than one try for some, but it should not take too long. I also used very minimal hints because a lot of questions are just doing the same thing with 1 small change. For example questions regarding L cuts, rolling cuts, exporting, in and out marks, video effects, changing audio volume, and copyright questions came up more than twice and in some cases 5 different times. This really helps because once you learn it you get extra practice with that skill.

Problems/Obstacles

This week went pretty well and I did not have any real issues or problems. 

Thoughts and Feelings

In past weeks I was really worried that I wouldn't actually be able to get my cert because the gmetrix is pretty hard starting out. But after you learn a skill once and you get that same skill tested multiple times you start to get the hang of it. Now I genuinely think that I will pass my tests and certifications fairly easily.

Season 2 Week 3

Reflection This week I finished the second testing out of the three for gmetrix. I finished it with a 925 and since I got a 950 on the first one from last week that means I am ready to take the certification test. I think I will be taking it next Friday. Compared to the first test this one only took the one try and I got it all done in class. So that shows me that since i'm taking these a week apart I actually learned them and not just memorized the answers.  Success I would call this week the most success week so far. I passed the second test easily the first time so i'm sure that i've learned the program. I feel that I had a good understanding and none of the questions really caught be off guard and I knew how to do majority of them Obstacles/Problems I did not really run into any problems expect for the 3 question I got wrong. With those 3 questions they were just stupid mistakes that I went back to correct and not stuff I did not know how to do. When I take...

Reflection This week I did my first test for gmetrix and scored an 800 (80%). Considering that on most first test I get a 600-700 and this is a week after all the trainings, I could call that a very good score. Also while doing it I felt like I was going to get a 500-600 but looking back and after doing the review it was fairly easy.  Success With my 800 on my first tests I would call that a good success. Going forward I am very confident that I will be able to certify based on how the trainings and now the first testing went. Like I said on the first tests the usually are 600-700 and go up from their after the second or third test, so I think it will take me 1 or 2 more tests before I get 900. This being considered I think that it will take me the next 2-4 work days to complete the gmetrix side of certifying. After doing all of those I plan on taking the certification as soon as possible. Obstacles/problems Other than a few questions I ran into no problems this we...

Season 2 Week 1

Reflection This week basically consisted of me trying to get used to using premier pro against since it has been like 3 weeks. This was unsurprising to me so I decided to do another training instead of trying to test again and most likely fail. This proved to be a good idea since I did have to use more hints than before but by the end I felt like I remembered most of what I needed to. So going forward I think I am in fine in terms of meeting a deadline for getting my certification. Success I was pretty successful going through the training test with the further going in the more I started remember. By the end I felt like I could go back through and get majority of the questions right without hints. Obstacles/Problems I did not run into any notable issues this week other than the odd question that took my a few tries. Plans for next week Next week I plan on going through and (hopefully) passing 1 of the 3 tests. I am unsure of which one I want to take but it will most...
