Results are in and once again I got just over 50% of the total marks. At least I'm consistent!
What am I doing wrong? Easy - both markers said that I was describing and explaining rather than cricially analysing and synthesising. The difficulty here is that I have no idea HOW to do this!!!!!
I have been into the CSU learning skills forum and there are a few links there by Stewart McKinney which might be helpful. This is an area I need to master. I feel that I am learning so much about teacher librarians, but this is not evident in my marks. If only there was a Bachelor course - I know that I am not really 'masters' material, but there isn't a choice.
I know where my weakness is, I now just need to try to develop this. Am happy to keep passing and am not aiming for HD or D, but would like to see my marks go just a little higher so that I won't have to worry about getting scaled DOWN in the final grade and then failing.

Not much happening :)
I am pleased to say that not much has been happening of late - with regards to study that is!
There is a link to the next subject on the Interact page. I have gone in and checked out the assignments for the next unit of study and man am I freaking out! I have also googled electronic pathfinder to see if I can get a heads up an what the hell it is. I even asked our school librarian but she didn't seem overly familiar witht eh term.
On a different note, school reports are finished and almost ready to be handed into the principal. Parent/Teacher interviews are in a fortnight, so it is going to be pretty full on until they are over.
I am also trying to sing my teeth into the Web2.0 course and hopefully get that completed before the next semester starts. Will see how that goes. I am sure that there was a mention of it somewhere in the course outline, so better to get throughg it now while there is little else hasppening.
Results are out this week. Keeping my fingers crossed for a pass. Will be pretty distraught if I don't but then again maybe having to resubmit might consolidate a few things for me.
Am really sad that Brid has deferred. She was such a sounding board for me. Feeling very lonely with regards to study - having a colleague doing exactly the same course made such a difference. Oh well, another challenge :)
