One of the topics on this hangout was put forward by Nicola was “Tips for students to ensure a smooth and stress free first assessment preparation experience?”
This topic was discussed by the group with a number of students talking about the possible way of preparing, presenting their work and learning logs. It was an interesting topic that I felt I couldn’t really comment on after listening to other students approaches mainly because I seemed in my own head I completely went against the grain. The students approach I felt was the way to go. Allow for time at lease 4 weeks Review learning log and reorder making it easier to navigate Spell check Ensure that exercises were complete and that reworks were done where needed This in my own head is the best practice however was something I failed to achieve in my first unit https://whatifiamwrong.weebly.com/ I failed to complete a large portion of the exercises. I left the process of putting the assessment together within a week or two to organize and order prints, never reordered or spell checked (a task to large to perform) the learning log which I felt was very light in terms of research and context. This I felt was at the time a failure of the unit and that the other students were working in a way that I wasn't and I felt I failed to manage. I wanted to comment but it felt wrong to do so, that I couldn’t comment because it would seem that I was taking a position of opposition. It felt like I would be taking the stance of lack of care and regard of the work has well has the course, fearing of coming across has over confident and flippant. I scored 80 on EVY and I didn’t complete all of the coursework, didn’t spell check or reorder the learning log or even really reworked the work. I left it that late that the prints and clam shell, the assessment preparation was completely last minute dot com. Not knowing if prints I received from the printers were a good quality. I placed the prints in the order I wanted them to be seen in. Me basically saying here I am with a score of 80 for the unit not knowing if it would all come together in the end, the lack of research, me saying it is what it is, seemed insulting the efforts of others put into their preparation. The only thing I could think was that I thought and felt on what I did but at this stage I find it difficult to articulate openly face to face. I should have done what the other students are doing but I didn’t prepare nothing beyond what I had already done it was warts and all and maybe I need to accept this and moving towards the end of this unit I believe I will end up doing the same thing even though I have tried to been more organized and mindful of the exercises again I have failed to do this. I need to learn how to verbalize this without sounding flippant or sounding like I don’t care. But I didn't prepare.
