November major review

in this blog i will be doing a review of my previous blog posts and reviewing my progress and taking note of skills i have developed i will do this review in three stages:

targets achieved or in progress-
notable skills learnt/developed-
points for improvement-

i will also write a summary to give my general opinion on my progress.


Targets:
job-
in regards to getting a job i have put that on hold due to christmas however i am still considering placements at various places.
work hard at college-
this has been supprisingly hard to keep to as i have been getting distracted by my class as well as distracting memebers of my class, this means that not only am i producing less work but my class mates are as well.
get work reviewed and understand my tasks-
since my teachers spend the majority of the lesson helping others who i fell could use there time more effectivley i have taken to asking classmates about the quality of my work and asking them if what i am doing is correct.
organise my time-
i would say i have probably failed on this one because of various things at home such as needing to be a chaufeur for my family as my car is normally first off and last on the drive in the week due to college times, there are also many distraction such as the various networks my computer is linked to and there ability to send notifcation or invitations to you in realtime (facebook, steam, teamspeak) this means that my firends online are able to continuousley invite me to events on games wich distracts me from my work.

skills:
since i have joined the college i have learnt about the construction of a computer and the importance of various components also there appoximate value on the market (online stores such as amazon)
i have also developed to a lesser degree my grammar and literacy skills.

Points for improvement:
i can still improve upon my grammer
my public speaking is also in need of improvement as i have a tendancy to stutter and go off topic when speaking to a group.
there are probably many more of these that i cannot think about at this time. i may come back and edit this post.

summary:
as a general rule i am easily destracted and find it hard to focus on my work for extended periods of time without making excessive mistakes or going off topic

weekly update (week something like 9)

college is looking up i have finally got my unit 1 and 18 (i think) to a pass level i have plenty to do in unit 2 and 4 on the assignments set for them.
pleanetside 2 is out of beta so i want to find a decent amount of time to play that but im worried about not focussing on my assignments. i think that if i setaside time at the weekends to play it and play league of legends during the weekdays when i dont have assignments, this way i will have thursday (soon) and friday free to focus on college work if i have any or persuing personal intrests such as gaming or working on Bluej, which is a instuction course for learning java programming.
i have no aims that i havent stated im my previous post or i havent stated here except maby to cut down on my caffine intake as its causeing me to get headaches when i dont drink tea or coffie regularly.

review of my progress at college

in this blog post im going to be looking at the feedbacks from my assignments

this screenshot from top to bottom shows:
unit 4 A1
unit 18 A1
unit 2 A1
unit 1 A1
unit 1 A2
unit 2 A2
unit 4 A2

now that the boring list is done its time to review the comments.

i shall start at unit 1 and proceed to unit 2,4 and 18

unit 1 feedback is simple and states that i have achieved the P4 P7 but not M2 and P1 (in assignment 2) due to trouble with these two assignments and confusion as to the tasks required for the assignents i was unable to achieve the merrit for the first assignement, so this feedback essentially means i have achieved my maximum mark for these assignments.

unit 2 feedback is also simple however i have not achieved the merrit for the assignement 2 which means i can probably go back to my submitted work and submit a re-written version.

unit 4 feedback is more substantial with comments saying that i understand the requirements for the assignement and can relate my knowledge to the scenario well along with good presentation, this is nice to see my instuctor go the extra mile when marking the work even if it means that i have to wait a while for my work to be returned as i then know if i have things to correct or not.

unit 18 is not yet at pass according to this feedback sheet saying that i have areas to improve upon
i have however submitted a rewrite of that assignment to my teacher and am awaiting a reply.

UPDATE: unit 18 is now at a pass
