First of all we were kicked out of the computer lab that was booked for us, which was very annoying because we had to go off and find another computer to work on. However before that we managed to sort out why the lecturers were unable to view my blog. For some weird reason when they clicked on my profile it would not show my links (blogs), it only showed the blogs i was following. I solved the problem by just following my own blog so they can now view it with no problems.
The presentation was alright, once again we didnt have any time available after we finished making the power point to practice it, however we presented it reasonably well anyway.

Week Four
So This week was not nearly as helpful as I thought it would be.
For starters the library workshop which was supposed to specifically help us with our assignments/essays/H&S case study was rather useless! All the librarian did was show us how to search for different cases and the Health and Safety Act in Employment. Its not that he didnt know what he was doing, its just that he hadnt really planned anything, so some of us asked him some things and he would search them up. Overall I think this workshop only helped a few of the students, and not nearly to the extent that we thought it would. :(
The referencing workshop was much better, But personally I think just giving us the power point and notes and making us read them for H/W would have nearly as good (for me at least), other than that, Wednesday was a rather boring day for me. I didnt even get a chance to catch up on some of my other work because after lunch I wasnt feeling great, so I had to go home.

Week Three
Im not sure what was going on, but apparently Sylila and Rashika are unable to view and comment on my blog. That explains why they had not yet commented on it. It sounds like my profile doesnt show a link to the blog, not actually disallowing them access.
I checked in the settings and confirmed that my blog wasnt banning anyone from viewing it, which is what I suspected.
OK.
So we got our first presentation today, to do with communication. Not my favorite topic...
I did most of the research and made the power point because the others in my group were not putting much effort in.
We had totally forgotten that it had to relate to our group idea. mostly because we hadn't really discussed or come up with one. so some of the time was spent brainstorming that. We managed to finish (only just) our power point, and we rushed off to class.
We had forgotten to do any sort of practice or organizing who was talking on which slides so we just assigned one of us to a slide and went from there. We managed alright even without a run through before hand but we could have done a bit better if the others had actually had more input into the power point and understood what we were talking about (a bit more). It was nice that we were only presenting to half the class, way more relaxed, a lot less pressure on us.
It is slightly annoying that we have to keep moving around to different rooms, but I doubt there is anything we can do about that.

Week Two
So, last week we were told to look at the posters and try to figure out which 'step' we think we are on.
Well I figured I was around 5 or 6. Today when we did the NAT (national assessment tool) I found some of the questions very hard. (One of them even so ambiguous that I thought it was a spelling error. Either that or the person who wrote the question was assuming WAY too much...).
Well I am at step 6. XD
I did answer 3 questions incorrectly, which is not too bad I suppose.
I have never been one for writing essays. I just cannot understand what obsession schools and universities have with essay writing! The longest essays I had to write at school were about 500 words, NOW I am supposed to write 1000 words on one topic! This course is going to be tough, but if I just work on it slowly over time, and don't leave it all to the last minute I think I will be alright. (hopefully...)
I was slightly disappointed when I checked my blog the other day and there were no comments, because Sylila said they were going to check and comment on our blog posts.
But I was even more disappointed when I check them again (still no comment) even after Sylila said she had commented on our blogs...
