Third Term - First Week



I've just completed the quiz that's due today. This made me realise how useful it was to finally think about what's been said in the past two terms in this course. I always thought I knew where to find the relevant guides, read through the handbooks and participate in the Skype sessions whenever I could.

Going through the quiz made me think of how excited I was during first term and how exhausted I had become during second term. Dance has always been my only passion and it becomes difficult to make use of all the guidance when you lose focus.

The handbooks provide guidance in how to shape your research into something that is academically accepted, the Skype sessions explore the thoughts of likeminded individuals on topics that relate to everyone's practise and the blogs are here to put your reflective thoughts in one place. All these put together add value to your research project in ways you can't understand but it all come together.

Too often we get sucked into the whirlwind of life and lose focus on why we started what we started, it gets put in the back of your mind and when the panic mode hits you either do a sloppy job or you give up altogether. I spent weeks working on the RPLs in term one but I couldn't recall the title of the module during the quiz. I'm about to start my final term and I had to stop and think for a second how many characters I have on my student ID...

It's been a long year.

Now, onto putting together term three study plan!

Until next time,

  1. Hi Dilini,
    I too found the quiz useful in re-focusing my attention to the main pillars of the course. It's so easy to get distracted in a world of knowledge!
