Module 6 is doing my head in this week!!!!

Here I am finally sitting down to work through the exercises for module 6 after much procrastination.
This morning I even cleaned the house!!! That is a bad sign when I should be doing uni work.

Well anyway, I am up to exercise 2 and I am already finding it hit or miss whether I get the answers correct. I am finding the whole webdewey thing incredibly confusing.

Maybe tomorrow I will just head to the local library and pay the cataloger HEAPS of money to do my assignment for me............now there's a thought. Unfortunately I don't think that she would be too agreeable to do it for me no matter how much I paid her. However, it's worth looking into.....

If she won't do it, then I think I will just park myself at the library and use their print copies of DDC22.
Sure will beat having to figure out web dewey and all of his mates!

finished and submitted

Well I have finished my 2nd assignment and handed it in today.
It was about subject headings and I actually quite enjoyed doing this assignment once I got the hang of it.
I just hope that I understood and presented everything that was required because I will be really disappointed if I don't pass this one.

Tomorrow my TOM team is presenting their challenge solution at the State Final at the Uni of NSW. I hope they do well, but I know they will be up against some tough competition. They have worked really hard and have done well to get this far.
The ironic thing is, I am the compere for the day and I never ever use the microphone at school to control large groups. I went 7 years at my previous school without ever addressing the whole school on the microphone. They will all certainly get a kick out of me being pushed out of my comfort zone to do this job.

Yay I passed!!!

Just got my first assignment back for ETL505 and I am so pleased to say that I passed.........just. 1 mark over half way is a good pass I think considering I was really floundering with this subject.
Hopefully I will pass the second assignment with a bit more room to spare.

I think I am getting it!!!

Today I have spent all day working on assignment 2 for ETL505 and I think I am starting to get it.
I have systematically worked through all of module 5 where there were lots of examples to work through and now I am doing the assignment questions.
I was feeling quite relieved although a bit panicked when I read the forum questions of other people in my course. The people on the forum seem to be making it more difficult than it really is I think.
According to my lecturer there are over 70 people in this subject, but only a small proportion seem to be putting questions up on the forum. The way I see it, lots of others must 'GET IT' too.
Oh well when I hand it in at the end of the week I guess we will really see if I do 'GET IT'.

module 5 is doing my head in......

Well here I sit today realizing that I should probably have worked my way through this a bit sooner than I have.
I am only up to exercise 8 which is on page 16 out of 37 pages in my module print out.

Who would have thought that it would take this long?

Probably when I was going out to lunch last week and the week before I really should have been here in front of the computer.
As it is, I should be working on my assignment but unfortunately I haven't done the required exercises that will enable me to complete the assignment to a satisfactory standard.
Oh well, it's not due until the 13th so I guess I will keep chipping away at it bit by bit until I finish.
Unfortunately at the moment I still don't really grasp it, and when I think I do get it I read the forum and realize that I have no clue at all and I am on a totally different page to everyone else who has been working on module 5.
Help!! Who really cares about access points, genre headings, theme headings and any other type of heading????

One thing I have managed to learn while doing this subject is that I don't think that I will ever become a cataloger, it just does your head in!
