1st term review

16/1/2013

This post will be a smallish and will be about my progress from start of college, September until mid December. The main focus of this post will be to review my progress during term one; I will do this through a number of criteria:

·        Behaviour-

Overall my behaviour was good with minor issues such as talking in class or not paying due attention to teachers. There was one incident where I scared a student with some Chinese snappers (you throw them and they make a loud bang when they hit something)

·        Work detail-

My attention to detail in work has been varying due to many factors such as sleep or family. One aspect I have noticed about myself is that when I cannot put sufficient detail into something I will then go on to something else before returning to the area that lacked content, I have done this several times in this post.

·        Knowledge-

My knowledge on subject has been good for the most part and I have participated in  most of the talks (something I never really did at school), doing this has helped me stay   alert in lesson for the most part which has in turn effected the amount I learn and kept me up-to-date with the Unit’s that we are doing.

·        Assignment completion-

I am currently up-to-date with Unit’s 1 and 18 unit 4 I believe I am up-to-date on as I am waiting on marking for that, with regards to unit 2 however I am behind as I was absent for the last week of the term and therefore was unaware of the assignments

What have I done in that term?-

·        I have become proficient in computer construction

·        Gained qualifications in the use of Microsoft Word Excel and PowerPoint (Microsoft office specialist)

·        Learnt about the various business applications of IT in the real world.

Things that I can improve upon;

·        Initial submissions have been good for the most part with two or three not being up-to-scratch /being submitted past the deadline or not at all.

This can be improved upon by keeping up-to-date on submission dates, one of the things that I have repeatedly mistaken as midnight the next day (or X time the next day)

·        Punctuality is also a major thing that I found I have trouble with as I am regularly late by a few minutes in the mornings
