-Students'
feedback-
+I didn't
like talking in front of people but doing a demo helped
me.
+I enjoyed work sessions
and want to do it again, for in salon, there's few opportunity
to spend so much time and focus on cutting
+It was
good to learn about VS history and ideas behind it which
I didn't know before
+The marking was higher standard than the last time.
It enabled me to see my goal more clearly.
＊Since returning to
Japan, Tadashi Miyajima has been asked to carry out
seminars and teach cutting classes in his hometown.
Read about it here.

| On Wednesday evening,
the students and the teacher dined together in a Chinese
restaurant. Danielle leaves for Italy for new collection
on Friday after the class. One of the guest on the final
day JB said " I was taking the Advanced Academy two
years ago. It is like a dream that now I do a demo in
that very place." |
|
| |
|
Next
time
+I
want to study about colour as well as cutting and how
to advise the customers
+Increase the students demo from once to twice
+I want to learn about Contemporary techniques (15 patterns)
+More emphasis on demo
*The students' feedback
will be taken into consideration for the next Specialised
course curriculum.
