So about a month ago (actually about 4 months ago...oops!) I handed in my first assignment, a 1000
word formative essay about lifelong learning and the skills and attributes
needed to be effective. I got it back a couple of weeks ago and was pleased
with my result - a healthy 63%. In 2 weeks we have to hand in the same essay
but this time it's 2000 words and summative which means it counts towards our
final mark for year 1. I'm hoping to at least retain the same grade or of
course improve (if possible!) but can't seem to find the motivation to get
going again. I feel that although the formative essay feedback was useful,
finding another 1000 words for it seems impossible!
So now I'm technically on a 'self-directed study week',
which so far has comprised of spending time with family and drinking obscene
quantities of tea. I must be more productive with the rest of my time off...I
mean my study week, ha!
UPDATE:
I handed in said summative essay (in July) and managed to get 70% which is a
1st. Weyhey! I now have another essay due at the beginning of November that I
have not yet started...old habits and all that. Why is it that you consistently
tell yourself that you aren't going to stress yourself out and do everything at
the last minute again and yet it always happens?! One day Carlene, one day...
