Avoidance Techniques

During the past four weeks I have been using a whole series of avoidance techniques to get out of having to make a decision about the final 2 assignments (DPP 4 & 5). I find it very difficult to create any enthusiasm for tackling the projects which I assume is a reaction to my tutor's comments about Assignment 4 and the subsequent discussion by e-mail and telephone.

One step I have taken is to delay the assessment date to November 2011. Not only did this give me time to sort out my reaction but also to re-think my approach to the two assignments. I now plan to re-do Assignment 4 using a more complex composite to demonstrate my ability (or not) and to take a different tack on Assignment 5. I have fairly firm plans now for both projects.

Hopefully I can get back on track.
