Module.1 exercise 6.6 Planning a web report.
The objectives.
The objective of this exercise was to develop a study skill i.e.: forward
planning. Learn how to set out a proposal that will be useful for not only
the TMA that was to follow, but for future essays and reports.
Another of the objectives was to get you to think about what you are
going to do and not to just rush of and put the first things that come
into your head.
What I have learnt.
I think that I have learnt a lot from this exercise in module 1, and although
my attempt had most of the elements needed none really did what they were
supposed to do. I now try to organise my thoughts (on paper or on screen)
into a more logical pattern and then identify what parts should be included,
how much detail and time can be allocated to each section. It as also taught
me to think about who will be reading the report, the purpose of the report
and what tone it should take.
How it as developed.
One of the ways I have tried to develop this skill is to underline what
I think are the more important points and develop these further. I have
even carried this into my day-to-day working environment and find myself
making notes and lists, and then changing the order of them as I go along.
