In kitchen, no specs

Monday, Tuesday....

Visible to anyone in the world

In both cases, the big "thing" for the day has been medical appointments. Still, did sections 1.4 and 1.5 on Monday. Tuesday, got left to sit and wait rather a lot, so read Jane Eyre (promised from the end of the Intro unit) and finished it once I got home. Added a new word to my "glossary" as a result.

Meanwhile, noted a Facebook rant from a friend about descriptive v. prescriptive grammar, and noted it for future use. I remember it's mentioned in TMA01.

Onward to 1.6, a writing exercise (and 1.7 and 1.8)

My learning diary should, I'm told, contain:

  • 1.     Your thoughts and feelings about the different aspects of your studies (subject and skills)
  • 2.     Areas in which you feel you have progressed.
  • 3.     Areas in which you would like to develop your skills.

I'm feeling good. Enjoying it, and having no real problems. It looks as if my learning skills so far are up to the job, and my ability to concentrate is fine. The indication of how long each section will take is very useful, helps me plan.

Progression: really,  this is assurance that I'm already pretty good at what I'm being tested on.

Areas to develop: referencing! I keep putting that off. Also, not letting notifications from email etc disgtract me.
