Assignment Feedback

Having just received my final TMA03 assignment result today I find myself reflecting on this work. I am very pleased with my grade since it surpasses my other two grades in H807 but I feel a little empty with the amount of feedback. Of course I should be happy just to pass the assignment but I guess at post graduate level study you become more critical about the work you present and probably seek more quality feedback. Am I alone here? Or should I just be content that I’ve ticked that box and should concentrate my efforts on the next task, the dreaded ECA?

For those interested in calculating your overall continuous assessment score (OCAS) I have produced a simple spreadsheet in Google documents please feel free to use and enter your own results. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqBz_GD5TFQodGI3Y2E0SGVBRngtdk9LRE5tWC00Ync&hl=en_GB

Discover the Benefits of Diigo

Although I have only had a quick look round the capabilities of this online tool it initially looks to have far more functionality than delicious. Setting up an account was quick especially if you already have a google, facebook or twitter account. Although I am yet to add any useful links please feel free to explore my Diigo account at http://www.diigo.com/profile/Markcollins305

Diigo appears to be social bookmarking but on new level. Features include bookmarking favourite sites that can be shared with others via groups or networks. The additions over delicious include a blog feature with personal profile so others can read about your interest – for me this helps to get an idea of the persons background and motivation to collaborate online, I guess what I am saying is it helps to judge the professionalism of the which adds weight behind any suggested or recommended sites.

The highlighting and sticky notes feature urges me to move away from my preferred method of printing online text to read and make notes all over; I’m a creature of habit so it might take a little more convincing before I ditch the hardcopy preference. Organising your items by tags or lists helps to gain ready access to archived pages which can be accessed from anywhere. The forth coming iPhone app promising to be extremely useful offering to download files for offline browsing – this feature would help users to save money of 3G network charges especially if a user downloads files using WiFi hotspots.
