The first few weeks at UCCA

The first few weeks at the UCCA has not been too bad but there seems to be numerous issues with regards to the way things are run here (Remember Mumbai group's project: University College for the Confusing Arts).

The generic part of the MA programme seems to need a more open approach towards group discussions and for reasons I am not aware of, the MA Animation at UCCA is considered as a subdivision of Digital Games Design course!(Is not a digital game one of the very many uses of animation?)

There are no specialised classes or lectures for the MA Animation course and students are supposed to adapt the DGD sessions to their animation needs !?

So far I have been attending some of the BA Animation workshops and tutorials to compensate for this but what would the outcome be is to be seen (as many of BA classes and workshops are not really tailored for the needs of postgraduate students)...
