I have just viewed my result for assignment 1b, thanks to the announcement made by Jan on LMS about how to access it. I am actually really impressed, I don’t think I could have got the mark I did if it wasn’t for the help I got from the companion website and my peers. Due to getting a short and an ill described peer review from my ‘peer reviewer’ I got one of my peers from our tutorial class to review it for me and tell me what to improve rather than attempting to guess myself. I think for me getting someone else to read through my work and being honest about telling me what I should change really helps me out. Because like everyone else, we think we have done a great job and have turned a blind eye to what can be improved but when someone else goes through your work, it opens up your eyes and you can change that and potentially get a better result.

This is the first week that we start our online lectures and tutes. Luckily for me, I got reminded by a friend that we didn’t have a lecture this morning otherwise I would have rocked up ready with no lecture to attend. I haven’t yet viewed the online lecture but that is on my to do list for my day off on Thursday so I can do my lecture and tute immediately afterwards. Nonetheless, I have done two of the recommended readings available on the companion website that will assist me in assignment 2 (Non-Discriminatory Language Guidelines and Information Quality). To get a better understanding and to refresh my memory I will revisit them on the weekend after our group meeting at the end of this week. To get our assignment underway as early as possible we will meet up this week to discuss what resource we will utilize as our focus of assignment #2.
