Since my last blog post the university has closed down for teaching and my placement has been canelled too. The 6-a-side league I was working on was organised by the Gannochy Sports Centre and once that closed on the 17th of March, the 6-a-side league was also cancelled for the season. Once I heard this news I thought this meant I would not be able to get anymore placement hours. I had only managed 20 out of the required 30 hours. I was not worried though because I knew that everyone else on this module would be in a very similar position.
Rommie sent out an emial asking students to contact their supervisors to see if there was anyway of getting more placement hours by working from home. After speaking to Amy, my supervisor, via email she was able to give me some extra tasks to complete. I have spent the past week distributing a survey about the 6-a-side league to the participants. Once this is closed (Sunday 29th March) I will review the data a create a PowerPoint presentation reviewing what the survey has found. I have also been tasked with creating a knockout scedule for this years competition. Although the leagues were cut short, the majority of the games had been played. The top eight teams from the three leagues combines will progress into the Champions League and those placed 8th-16th overall will go into the Stirling Cup. As all of the leagues were cut short and not all games were played, teams final positions were established using average points (total points divided by games played). I found this task quite simple and it was good to see which teams had qualified after spending so many weeks following their progress. Amy has said these games are going to hopefully take palce in Septemebr when students come back to university for the new academic year.
I was able to successully submit my presentation online. I had never recorded a presentation on PowerPoint before, however, the video Rommie provided for reference made it very easy to work. I found it difficault to listen to myself speak when after I had recorded my presentation, but this did also allow me to notice a lot of simple mistakes I make when presenting. Hopefully doing the presntation this way has benefited mt grade.
Alltogether, despite this week has been a hectic and uncertain week I am still feeling confident about my progress in this module.
