With time not on my side, I had to do a lot today to catch up with the others since I had not done anything over the weekend. Last lesson, I had finish drawing my first design therefore today I was able to manage to test and evaluate the design against the design specs.It was kind of hard to test the design with the design specs since we had to give appropriate marks and be as fair as possible. I tested the design using pass, partial and fail with each design spec scoring a mark out of 10. In order to test my design I had to refer to the design often and also be honest in scoring, as possible. Testing the design with the design specs took me about 10 -15 minutes. After testing my design, I moved on to evaluating the design, which with the help of the testing aided me to evaluate thoroughly going deep into each aspect of the design. Throughout this lesson I was able to learn and develop my decision-making skills, judgement skills and evaluating skills.I was glad that I had finally finished my first design since it is said that the first design is the hardest and takes the longest. Since, I now have a clue of what I now have to do in my other designs, I will try lift up my pace during the other lessons and will try improve on my time-management skills so that I can spend more time on working on my designs so that they come out of excellent quality. My first design is like a normal rack with 3 compartments more or less looking like a shelf with wheels.
