Week7 - 101

Finally got my results back for assignment one 8.5 out of 15. At first I was happy because its a pass, but then got very mad at myself for the stupid mistakes. Referencing, we all know in the bibliography its set out in alphabetical order, so why did I put it in a numbered order, and worse, I did not number it, I just assumed the person reading my paper would know that the first reference, was the first in the bibliography... *slap forehead DUH*. I also cut down the words due to the word count being only 750, and I lost marks due to the fact that I did not include enough information. Thankfully grammar and composition etc was fine, so I did learn something that stuck in SSK12 lol.
I do not think it helps, the fact that I felt I 'knew it all' before starting the unit. Not meaning I am being big headed, but I have already done two years of cert 4 in IT prior to this, but too long ago to count as anything. Plus the fact I have my own websites, domain names and the like, but the problem popped out when I realised that I do not know the terminology for my so called experience.
Now facing my essay which I finally decided it would be about Facebook, along with hundreds of other students quite likely to choose the same topic. Thankfully now I have an assessment back with very helpful comments, it gives me something to work on so I can hopefully produce an essay worth reading!
Oh and I found out for my web presence, I can use pixelling as my theme which is good as I am a pixeller from way back. So now to choose a new look website so I can dedicate it to my web presence. Pretty happy about that.... at the moment
