Since my last blog post I have managed to complete some more placement hours. My mentor has been giving me work to do to help set up the six-a-side league programme for next year, alongside organising a knockout tournament for the first week of September for all teams who are avaliable to compete in. This will mean an overall winner can be established for the spring 2020 league. The work has main consisted of emailing team captains and communcating with my mentor. This hasn’t been as exciting as the rest of my placement was, however, there is not much else I can do due to the social restrictions in place because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The final assessment in this module is the Final Report. Rommie has changed the dealine for this to the 21st of April, giving us an extra week. This was great news because I also have a dissertation due on the 16th of April, which means I now have more time to complete the assignment and hopefully get a better grade. Having said this, I have already written a first draft of the final report and only need to add in all the require appendicies. Having the extra week though will give me more time to review what I have written and make any changes I need to. I also found the example Rommie put up very helpful. It made it much easier to understand what is expected for a good grade in the final report.
I was also happy with the grade I recieved in my presentation. I was unsure what to expect as I had never submitted an online presentation before, but I actually think this may have helped me. Having said that, I do feel like it did not improve my presentation skills as much, but it couldn’t be avoided.
Overall, I have enjoyed this module. I have found my placement interesting, educational and flexible, which has been a big help during a busy fourth year. I am hoping the experince I have gainned will help my employability in the future.
It’s great you have been able to carry out more hours of your placement and have enjoyed it. Wish you the best of luck for the remainder of your assignments. – Chelsea
