Reflections.

I went in to Task 2 with a whole different attitude to what I did in Task 1.  In Task 1 I was intimidated and nervous about putting myself out there on the world wide web for potentially the whole world to see.  I am even hesitant on Facebook about putting too much personal information on!  I'm not totally paranoid, just rather wary.  Anyway, I balked at the task most of the way through it and my time management was poor because I couldn't see the task for what it was.  My marks reflected this.  

So for Task 2, I changed my attitude.  I went in with confidence and learned a lot about my work/study habits.  I learned not to get so daunted by the apparent enormity of the whole project, but to break it down into very little achievable tasks.  When I did this, it not only became less scary but almost enjoyable.  With the task broken down it was also much easier to time manage.  I learned to really look at EVERY available resource (especially on LMS) because almost everything you need is already there.  Most of all, I learned that there are no 'trick' questions.  If you read the requirements of the task, what is being asked is just that.  What is being asked.  No hidden extra meaning or between the lines stuff.  Seems simple I suppose.  But I always think there needs to be more.  I need to trust myself, that I understand what is required and that I do NOT need to find a hidden anything.
