Blog 2 - The Pressure of Tests & Coursework.
The subject of
our second blog is the Pressure of Tests & Coursework. Please
take
time to think about the pressure or stress that you have (or haven't) been under thus far this term. Has the
workload been too heavy or has it been manageable? What can you do to
lighten the load and make life easier for yourself? What concerns do
you have about your workload and what expectations of future workload?
Please
plan your
thoughts in Word first
so you can check you spelling, grammar, and punctuation before
posting.
Although a blog can be less formal than a normal piece of writing, try
to use language thoughtfully watch for overly simplistic language and
repetition and refrain from using slang etc. Spend some time on this as
you will be using as a input source for a 'reflection' later and the
quality of your blog entries will constitute part of that overall mark.
Please feel free to make (respectful and thoughtful) comments on others’
posts but please refrain from insulting or offensive language - I
will
have to remove it and it may constitute an academic offence. Please note these posts can only be read by myself and the other students in your
academic
skills class, unless someone has the specific URL.
This
blog was supposed to be completed by the end of Week 10 but as I am a
little late in getting it to you you can take up to the end of week 11 -
so the new deadline is lunchtime Friday 13th.
