So it has been to long since I have been on blogger! It’s a busy couple of months since I sent my last piece of work in so I have been really busy since we got are feedback back I started the practical said of my project which went really got all the data that I needed and also got all the extra notes that I needed for my final project. So now I am get all my research together now and now cannot wait for the next module.
See everyone in September J
Looking back at this module it has been one the harder one’s of the hole course as there has it has become a part of my life too which is a really good thing because as from this summer hopeful I will have my project up and running and that will come a part of my life so it’s all ways good to get a head start with these things.
Looking back on the first day back from are break I was think to myself what am I going to do for my project and am I going to be able to do this module will I have the time to be able to fit everything in my life with work and personal things that were going on in my life at this point but I thought I have to go in with a positive mind or it will not work for me. The first part of the work was to find my project now I had a lot of ideas popping in to my mind but one was kept on pushing itself to the top of my mind which did end up being the one I want for at the end.
This module has been a interesting one for me as I have learnt so much more than I did before and also it has shown me how to keep myself on task and also make sure that I do set time for me to have a chance to do my work while being so busy at work. The learning diary’s have been a big help in this module has I did find that the session at the campus where good but I do not feel that they are the right way for me to learning as some time’s for me to much information for me to take so I would just shut down and not take everything in as I should do but the learning blogs helped as I could try and put it on to paper and put it in way I would understand it for myself.
This module we started something new which was the Chickenshed learning set’s which was set up with the Chickenshed students and Paula just so we can use that time to ask any questions we had about any of the work or course which did help a lot as some time I was not able to make it to the campus session and theirs session did help and plus we were able to help each other with any questions we had about the work.
I think many parts of this module are going to help me lot with my final project as I have learnt so much about researching, ethics and also able to keep myself on time with my work.
I think of the next module I am going to try and take more time to be able to take more time to be able to meet with my adviser and not panic as much with the work.
After having two weeks of try to get me my first draft done on my project I felt I had to have a meeting with Paula just so I can get my heard around all my work and this meeting did help a lot I feel as I was on ball to ask all the questions I was thinking about all weekend and it made me feel so much more happy about where I am with my work and what I need to do next to make my work right.
Some of the things I did talk with Paula about what are my plans to do after I finish my BA as this would help me think about a title for my degree. Also we did have a long talk about my draft which was good as I was able to think the stuff that needs to go in to make it stranger and also give it the right shape.
I think now for the last 3 weeks left of the module before the deadline I do feel that I have a lot more work to do but I do feel that now I will be able to feel much more happy with the work I have done so far and the work I have left to do.
Since my last journal I have done lost my think about my project and now I feel much more happy with my project idea and how I am going to be writing up my project and all my ideas.
The campus session on the 30th March was really helpful I am really happy that I was able to make it as I feel was able to take notes down that will help me write my project up and to help get my draft copy in by the 9th April and feel really happy about the work I have done so far.
Also in the session we talked about Ethics we talked about how impotent it is for your project and for the people you will be working with in your project. For me this was really impotent as I will be work with children age between seven to fourteen year olds so now I how make sure to keep my project save and also make sure the people I am working with are happy with research and all so making sure my project is done in the right way.
What I need to do before the next session
Make sure I do activity seven
Do my first draft of my Project Proposals
Keep on research my project
Designing research methods
I was not able to attend this session as I was performing in Midsummer Night’s Dream. But I was able to have a meeting with Paula and was able to catch up with what I miss at the session.
My project will let me be able to do many of the research methods as I will be able to interview people and all maybe do a focus group and also be able to talk with the that are taken part in the workshops and also have a chance to have a lot of observations in the workshops which these will help me get a lot of research for my final piece of work.
Also at this meet with Paula all of us at Chickenshed were able to talk about our projects and how we will doing it and also we were able to give each ideas and also help each what we can all do to help us to get to the part of the work.
Things I need to do before next session
To start to write up my research project
To find at least five to six piece of literature to critically analyse to be a part of my research project
