My blog:

Today I learned how to plan and design a website, this was done through both extensive drafting and mindmapping.

My strengths which I demonstrated today were that I demonstrated a good technical competence and understanding of the key areas involved in the topic and task.

My weaknesses which I encountered today were that I have been a bit over enthusiastic when drawing mind maps and would often do them in a manner which was scruffy and disorganised. This meant that whilst I could read and understand them, someone else might have difficulties doing so. I need to further improve my skills, ability and compentence in that area. I will do so by requesting assistance and if I have time I will consider doing a "rough draft" of a mindmap before creating it. I will also consider the implentation of IT in the future, with the intention of eliminating or reducing the impact of this issue.

On reflection, I feel that I tried very hard today and have done a good job both demonstrating my competence and in identifying my weaknesses. I will make sure to address them in the way I have planned with the view to eliminating them in the future. I will also make sure to keep up the good work and avoid any coasting which may cause a decrease in standards.

I have been assigned another task to do by my tutor, this is due in on the 1st November 2019. I will make sure to try my hardest to get it done and submitted to my tutor in the correct fashion on or before that date.
