Well as usual, I haven't used this space to record my reflections as much as I intended to. It has just been so hectic this term, however looking back, I have used it at key moments, and it has been useful to record those key moments in a way that I can point to for assessment purposes.

I was really over the moon with my mark for the first assignment. I am sure the second assignment won't get such a goood grade, however having one top mark to start the year off should go some way to make my average mark acceptable by the end of the course. The good grade really was a boost as I was feeling quite despondant about my ability to finish the course after the second deadline, but the grade and the really useful feedback has enabled me to focus more on areas that I need to make sure I improve on over the next 3 assignments, as well as reassured me about areas that I have done well in.

I am trying really hard to start getting organised for the 3rd assignment as I don't think I could cope with the same stress that I had the week between the 2 deadlines this term. Part of the problem was my frustration with a couple of the tasks and the order that the activities were in, spread across the 2 assignments, so I am starting to plan what will be the most logical order to to things in for the next assignment in my opinion and get myself organised in a way that suits me. I don't think there was much that I could do about the last 2 assignments as they were so close together, but with a couple of months till the next deadline, I should be able to sort it out into an order that suits me.
