Today we learnt about the different types of file formats (doc, x PDF, JPEG) and when they are most suitable to use like JPEG for web or PDF for a person that might not have Microsoft Office. We also learnt about the different types of compression (Lossless, Lossy) and the advantages and disadvantages of them both. We then had to hand in our first assignment as it was the hand in date. We also completed two surveys that were designed to show us all how well we knew each other with different questions like how long we travel each day and who was the eldest on the course.
I enjoyed learning about the different file formats particularly when we were each assigned a file format we had to look up the definition of without using Wikipedia.
I did not enjoy comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Lossy and Lossless as I found making another table to be repetitive and boring but I still found it to be useful.
I felt I did well in picking out my definition as I now feel more informed when it comes to file formats and it was good to see what everyone else had put down as their definition of the file format they were assigned.
I feel I need a bit more help with the second assignment that we just recently started. I do not understand what we need to put in our tables but this should be rectified tomorrow when we continue with the assignment.
In conclusion today was very informative as I learnt new things like file formats and I learnt more about the people that I am on this course with
