PgDip preparation
I have spent the last several weeks going through my to-do lists to ensure that I’ve done everything that I wanted to do and needed to. I re-edited my presentation yesterday and spent most of the day ensuring that its contents reflects what I have learnt and shows how all the separate projects that I have done so far join and interrelate to each other. In the morning there was dread. In the afternoon there was excitement. It was a turning point day that brought all the many strands of my studies together. I have placed pictures almost throughout the presentation. Its over 20 slides long but I am confident that it won’t drag as each slide is punchy and makes its point. I have created a small section within the presentation to show the Arcs between the projects and to my surprise one or two faced backwards; by this I mean that what I have learnt in my latest project is already manifest in the previous ones. Its all come together finally and I am really excited about giving my presentation on Wednesday. I hope it is received well.
I have been pretty stressed lately, I had to go to my dentist as I have started to unconciously clench my jaw in the night and I keep catching myself doing it in the day too. Hopefully it will stop as I take a break after the end of this stage (despite being keen to get stuck into the next part).
It occurred to me the other day that this presentation is incredibly important and decides whether or not I:
- Pass the PgDip.
- Get to continue onto the MA stage of the course.
I am giving this course my all in terms of effort and time. I hope the people on the panel see this in my presentation.
