This Weeks Countdown Conundrum “glob”

This week our tasks to complete were to finish task number one for the CiSSy assignment and to choose 3 cultural icons for the Culture Vulture assignment. Both tasks were completed and I didn’t feel pressured like I used to do in the past.

Monday’s class, we went through all of our choices for the cultural icons and I (with the help of Steve) chose the icon that we were going to write about. The icon that I have to talk about now is the Fender Stratocaster. The rest of Monday was spent doing research, creating the time plans in my sketchbook and creating an essay plan.

Tuesday I carried on with my Culture Vulture assignment and added a little more to my research and have made a start to the actual essay. I learned a few things about time planning, to make things into very small chunks and that I don’t have to use the time planning sheets that were created by the tutors (as nice as they are), I believe that I will benefit more from one that I create because it’s my own approach and will have more motivation to stick to it. Lists are rapidly taking over my life, much to the joy of my tutors, it is going to be the first thing that I do in my self study because we have a week “off”, and when I say week off I mean that we have been given a lot of extra tasks which will get us back up to speed with things.

There are a lot of tasks for this week and the holiday too, the main tasks are to:

  • Complete task one of culture vulture
  • Complete the web plan for CiSSy and the web plan for the second part pf the iME assignment
  • Create a proposal for a 6 month learning outcome stating the things that we’ll have to learn that is not part of the course curriculum
  • Make amendments to the CSS essay
  • Organise filing structure because there are duplicates of things and it is wasting unnecessary space

That’s all from me for this week, thank you for reading and your comments will be appreciated.

Bye.

    Hi Luke,

    Good idea for your own kind of time plan, that really shows independance :) And that's what we're going for this year.

    Have you created a template for it that you will use over and over then, like in Pagemaker or something? :)
