Talk about hectic - trying to stay one step ahead of myself for five different units a week and standing up in front of ten groups a week!! Add to that, continuous days of thirty plus degrees (Celsius = HOT). Thank goodness I finally succumbed and had AC installed in the house. None in my car - it sits outside in the baking sun all day - but at least arriving home helps me 'chill out'.
So I have made my excuses for not participating fully again, but I am still keen to try and find some time for #crit101. I absolutely will read the assigned article, but may not be able to complete the critical analysis in time - the 750 – 1000 word critical review may appear in Google Docs later than the due date, but I doubt it.
Some days later ....
This post has missed the deadline, I spent several 'stolen moments' trying to reflect, but distractions (read - work) abound...
- How has this week’s assignment improved your skills of reading and analysis?
- Discuss one way in which you connected with another member of the course this week.
- How is the course helping you to become a more in(ter)dependent learner?
Addendum: Tuesday 11:38pm - definitely not a model student - have just realised that I completely forgot to watch video presentation - sorry James.
