So it took a rather terrifying dream last weekend where I failed PHL354 because I did not submit any online content, and was called a ‘dishonourable student’ by an angry voice over the telephone conversation to persuade me to get my act together and begin this blog.
Man, am I glad to have woken up from that one. Though I do realise it is not too far from reality either.
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t particularly enjoy on-line based assessment tasks – I’m hardly the most tech-savvy crayon in the box and find them more involved and cumbersome than real life tutorial participation. Nevertheless, it is the academic price to pay for the convenience of doing a subject externally and I told myself I'd make myself catch up by the end of the mid-sem break, continuing my streak of good studenty diligence for the second half of the Session.
Despite me having done every reading for the past 7 weeks, I was pained at having to use the computer for anything other than essay writing or internet banking. And though I began a practice post in week 1, at some point I lost any knowledge of how to use the iLearn blog function, so the best solution was transferring it to Blogger - a medium I have some history with.
With all this in mind, welcome to my blog! I envisage it as a place where I can have my thinking cap on and try to wade through the varied and great ideas posited so far in this capstone unit.
