Second Term Start

Second term start


My second term at this college has been a bit harder but I also started to learn my weaknesses and strengths .

Week 1 when I came back I started to make loads of friends and I started to get used to my surroundings in the college I also decided I wanted to stay as I was considering leaving because of travel expenses and time as I was not hitting the nine o clock lessons on time but as the time moved on started to get there on time

At this point I would say that my weakness in lesson is chatting, I don’t think I have been applying myself the way I can in lesson then when I get home I have a pile of work that needs to be done before I can relax and plus I now have work on a Saturday and Sunday so I hardly have time to do it

By this time I realised that something had to change and I needed and organising system so I don’t get behind on my work.

Week 2 I got my first assignment for Anna O the one assignment I dreading so to solve this I asked for even more lesson and as I started to remember the programming off by heart I still didn't understand it enough to do the assignment so I turned to my friends for help and they fully understood my struggle and decided to help me I got it all in and I was happy with my work

Then I got My assignment For Louisa which was about the use of excel I found this was pretty easy and found out later on that it was to get me ready for her second assignment for her But going back I had to speak about the definition of a spread sheet, Typical users, Manipulating data, data mining and complex problems I did this in about a week.

In P3 and M1 We had to speak about Communication barriers and overcoming them where I chose to write about. Background noise, Language differences, Lack of concentration, Lack of interest, Too much information, Cultural, Psychological and being late as I spoke about how it will be barrier 

 For this assignment I used the same techniques as P2 but I learnt from my mistake and did research for half the lesson and did the assignment for the other half I also used publisher to complete the assignment where instead of wasting time on creating a document to look appealing I used a template instead and changed a few things for example instead of a company name I just stated my college and instead of my phone number I used that as my bibliography. I also got a classmate to proofread it as because it is a publication it’s harder to spell check.

How I could improve

 The techniques that worked was doing research and the assignment in class as it took me less time to do and gave me time to focus on other assignments and using publisher software as the specification says to make a leaflet and I did that the only way I know how and that is on publisher and using a template and I didn't feel anything could of been better in this assignment.

During this time I had my first studio session at the new studio and I truly enjoyed myself

The thing I  can also improve on is making more time to do assignments
