Communications Class 3

Today we had to our first presentation for the group project "our finite world" we had plenty of time to do this, but coming up with an idea was hard and it took us about an hour to come up with and eco friendly idea that was unique. I did start getting a bit annoyed that a couple of people in our group were not putting in much work,  but we eventually got an idea. When we had to do our presentation it did not start out very well as the couple of group members that where messing around before did not know what they where talking about, but the second half of the presentation was excellent. I was surprised that when it came time for me to present that I wasn't as nervous as I normally get in those situations of talking in front of a crowd, as normally I stumble on words and am quite shaky in body movement and body language. Our communication plan was excellent according to our tutor which made me feel even better, so all in all I was happy with our presentation.

Communications Class 2

Last Wednesday was our second class for communications classes, for this lesson we got a lot more information on what to do for our assignments that are due. This helps ease most of the concern that I previously had, since I felt as if I was being left in the dark a bit. Now that I have been given an essay structure to help guide me in the right direction I feel as if the assignments are now much more achievable. Basically I feel much more relief as I now have settled into uni again, and I am currently making a timetable to help allocate times to work on each of my assignments, this helps to make the assignments feel more achievable than what they seemed at the start of the courses. And I now feel confident that I can pass these assignments with good grades.

Integrated Practice Class 1

Wednesday was the first day for integrated practice or communication classes, it seems quite daunting the amount of work that I have a head of myself this year with all the assignments that are required to be completed from this course and the two other courses I'm doing this semester. There has been so much information given to us about the courses that I'm muddling up assignments with courses or simply forgetting stuff all together, but I'm sure that after a couple of weeks I will get the hang of things and all this information won't seem so daunting anymore.  I have yet to figure out any good original ideas for our first assignment of "Our Finite World" but there is an ocean ideas out there just waiting to explored so this is a good thing as it gives many different possibilities that can be used for the project and with the help of my group I'm sure we can think up something which is new and innovative. I hope to complete all the assignments with good grades and a good understanding of what I have been taught.
