this is a weird one because until this post/task i actually dont think i have ever asked myself these questions - and seeing that the majority of my 22 years have been spent in education its quite bizarre!

•How is teaching different from learning?

well its the complete opposite. teaching is passing on your knowledge to someone....and receiving that knowledge is learning.

•How do they fit together – why does one rely on the other?

Going through secondary school answers this question! When a pupil doesn’t want to learn the teacher cant teacher...therefore the learner isnt learning anything. When i was in year 9 at school I had the worlds most useless French teacher...barely taught us a thing all year because the majority of the class just didnt want to know, and she never bothered to overcome that. I remember sitting there thinking 'actually id quite like to know all this stuff' i wanted to learn french and after begging/bugging the head of department for weeks i was transferred to another class.

•Why do you want to learn?

i want to learn as much as i can, ive always loved learning - loved school and unis even better! more specifically on the Fda course i really want to learn how to use Kaledo – I tried to use it in the workshops with Karen – but having found I was useless at it, I only went to one session and I haven’t been back! So I didn’t really give it a fair shot, so this term im going to make sure I give it another go and hopefully I can use it to draw my final illustrations for the PP.

•How can you make the best of your uni Learning experience?

I think I do make the best of my uni learning experience. Im in uni almost everyday, and I feel being in and around the studio you pick up on and learn so much, I always feel that the people who aren’t there are missing out.
