Re-Re-Done

Kirsty Adams Work , , , , , , , , , , ,

I’ve re-re-done a past assignment today, a little bit more in-depth than when I did it the other day, I’ve literally used everything I can possibly think of that would help me to write a uni assignment.

I started with the unit handbook, which includes little questions that tend to give a brief background to the topic the assignment is on. I then moved onto Blackboard, where lecture slides are posted so you can access them whenever. Then I used the portal…what an absolute godsend!! Its brilliant for the E-Library links, e.g. Westlaw and Lexis Nexis, and for accessing the Library website too. The portal allows me to access E-Books and E-Journals and scan through books and journals on the internet, instead of having to check them out of the library.

I had a go at using google, but believe it or not they’re not specific…they have so many books and links none of them are as relevant as I need them to be.

Week Two

For starters I want to say how gutted I was to hear about M.J at the weekend…he was an absolute legend and my thoughts are with his family.

DAY 4 –
No major projects given yet! Well…nothing given yet. But I think everyone is really busy today so that will be why. I’d love to just go and walk round and talk to people and just ask them what they’re doing but I’m far too scared!! If everyone is busy they don’t need a newbie pestering them asking what they’re doing, thats the last thing they’ll want!

I had a meeting with Joss this morning about blogging (I needed some help) and it was great. Had a fiddle with the little bits and bobs on the dashboard page and read other people’s blogs. Not too sure if mine really is about what its supposed to be about (me in ICT) because I just seem to babble on about anything I’ve done!
I will be honest though, I have actually used today to have a look at some revision for my resit in August. A bit like what I was asked to do last week with the assignments and using different websites, but I’ve just been looking at something different.

So…

I’m on my 3rd day now, I finished my induction this morning,  last meeting with Mike Day.

Yesterday I spent the day looking at the portal and everything in it and google again.
I did the same today until I couldn’t find anything more to look at so I thought about giving ‘blogging’ another go! And it still doesn’t seem to be working…I can’t seem to write things about my day that I think people will want to read!!!

I hope that I’ll be given lots of work to do next week =) I much prefer being busy than not doing anything. I’ve kinda ran out of things to look at now! I was told to re-do a past assignment from uni by using the uni’s services and by using google too. I did a couple…well I say I did a couple, I researched stuff as if I was going to answer them, and I found that google was tonnes better in giving me more results in my searches (obviously) but in finding journal articles and e-books (the next BIG thing!) the portal was loads better because it has the uni library website and the e-library too.

But…I can’t think of anything else to do now!

I think I’ll go and make a cup of tea =)
