Week 9

This week I have took a break from subjects such as Media, Business and History to finish off some of the last work required for Unit 2 for Mr Reilly. Right now I just have to finish off M3, D1 and D2. Once these have been finished my Unit 2 will be up to a distinction grade which is what I have been aiming for. Unit 1 still requires a lot of work as I have wanted to get Unit 2 out of the way so I haven't really focused on Unit 1. I will probably begin to complete Unit 1 once I have finished all of my exams for other subjects, this is so I can plan effectively and revise more without having to worry about finishing Unit 1. After exams are finished I will have around 2 weeks to give me time to finish Unit 1 which is more than enough time.

Week 8

Having just my IT coursework this week means I have had a lot of time to focus on other subjects such as Media, Business and History. I have done multiple History essays and found myself to be getting a C/D grade when my target is a D. I am pleased with this result as I find essay writing to be quite difficult, it is an area in which I would like to improve in. History is a subject where it is essay based where as my other subjects aren't, this is why it may seem harder because I have not had much essay writing skills required in the past. My revision in terms of subjects such as Media and Business are going well. I have recently completed a past paper in Business and I'm waiting on the teacher to mark it now.

Week 7

Just like with Business Studies because we have finished our coursework for Media we have now moved onto learning information for the exam, also in May. Just like Business the information I need to learn is crucial as the exam takes up 50% of the total grade. I believe I am strong in Media, I find the terminology easy to remember and feel confident for the exam. We are coming to the end of learning terminology for Business studies now, I have began making revision cards for each of the different sections to help me remember the different terms. In IT I still have work to finish to distinction but it is slowly progressing forward.

Week 6

I have now pretty much completed my Media coursework (View my progress here: http://jameskay7361.blogspot.co.uk/ )  , after working on it for months there are areas in which I wish I would have improved on. My planning and research lacked compared to the other parts of my finished product and some things took longer than expected, for example editing my pictures and creating a video took longer than I thought it would, causing some problems in the time I had to complete other things. On the other hand I am working hard in my other subjects. I have began to start making improvements to my Unit 2 work for Mr Reilly in regards to pushing it towards a distinction level. Unit 1 is still lacking in comparison to Unit 2, but I will move onto that in a later date.

Week 5

I have been working hard on ensuring that I complete my Media media coursework this past week. The deadline is just around the corner and I have almost completed it. I just have a couple of pages left to complete and I am proud of the work have done. Due to this I have not done much within the areas of my other subjects, however I have just recently finished my Unit 1 P6, my guide to blogger. After my Media coursework is complete I can begin to focus on other subject areas such as IT and Business studies.
