Coursework Getting started: Exercises

Exercise 5: Saying hello to your fellow students

For this exercise, the OCA advised me to get in touch with other students. Recommending I share something about my practice. This is because it can provide a social support for my studies.

For the first three units, I kept in constant contact with fellow OCA students through Discord chat. It was great because I felt part of a community and could share my work for critique and see other student’s work. However, during the last unit, there were a lot of upsetting and personal circumstances that prevented me from completing the coursework, and I was a little embarrassed at how far I had fallen behind.

Yet, I have decided this is a silly attitude and I still need the support that these students gave me and I hope I helped others, too. Therefore, I am about to introduce myself back to the group.
