Get a second opinion

Bugger, has all this time been wasted of time?

After reading a few posts on the uni Blackboard by Peter Fletcher and taking his advise to have a read of the great articles on Dave Carr's blog, I became a bit concerned of the way I have approached my studies. This is the the my first unit of study after returning to Uni from a break of ten years and I think I have confused speed with quality—trying to keep up with the Jones to finish the modules as quickly as possible. Reading Dave's blog has been a great eye opener to see that doing just a bit of extra research adds validity to his argument—I think I'll take a leaf out of his book and do the same. Slowly, slowly catch a monkey! This type of writing was also advised in Rebecca Bloods Book, The Weblog Handbook but I can't quote from it because I have already sent it back to the library.

As for a waste of time—no I don't think so, I'm taking it as a learning experience!

So the moral of the story is, I may not blog as often but try to put more convincing content into it.

  1. Don't stress, I was getting freaked out by all the people speeding through the modules. Then I realised that I was exactly on schedule and I have been really analysing everything so I truly understand what I am doing. My main issue is going to be focusing less on my own experience as I have been until now, and more on others so I actually have something to reference!
