I found that there was a lot to do in Unit 2 and although my tutor had pointed this out in the Tutor group forum I did not totally comprehand the quantity of work. Consequently I spent lot of time concentrating on Core Activity 2.1 which did not leave me enough time to do the rest of the unit as much justice as I would have liked. I would have like to participate more in the forum discussion but by the time I had formulated some ideas that time for the unit had come to an end.
I was able to complete the work by the end of the unit ( with one day extra) but I felt annoyed with myself that I had lost the opportunity to discuss some of the issues in the other core activity with my fellow cohort. My belief was that I should work through each activity from beginnning to end in chronological order and therefore I did not look at the other discussion forums as I was not ready to do that work.
From this experience I have realised that I must read through the whole unit briefly on day one and make a mental note of what is required for each activity. I must also try and work on more than one task at a time in order to get the most out of the interactivity of this course.
