After what feels like a very long break, I've been preparing for the second semester which is due to start next week. I've been taking a look around the Uni website, accessed Module Definition Forms and have ordered some of the books on the recommended reading list.
I received provisional feedback earlier in the week for the work that I completed during the first semester. I was pleased to achieve a good score and receive some positive comments from my tutors. However, I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to do better. Unfortunately my laptop burned out just a few days before I was due to submit my work. As a result of this, I lost a large amount of work that I had done getting ready for assessment. I normally back up my work at the end of each day but my laptop broke before I had a chance to do this. My request for an extension was declined so I had to rush through everything and try to bring my work up to a good standard.
The New Year has started well for me. I was successful in my recent job application and started my new role at the beginning of January. I did a lot of preparation for it so am glad it paid off. It was a very strong field so getting through makes very pleased and proud. I will be continuing to work within the same area as before but I have taken on some additional responsiblities including work on a high profile policy. The verdict? Well, so far, so good.
I look forward to resuming my studies in the second semester and hope that my learning will continue to benefit me at work.
Welcome back! Let's try to make the modules relevant to your new role.
