Last week, Mr. Barr was absent and the week previous to that, we were not in class because of other activities. During that week, we were asked to summarise section 4.5 (Software Development) of the textbook and complete questions 1-8 on page 261 and also Q's 4+5 on page 286/287. I did not do this work during that week because I did not have the time (interview preparation, retreat, work, other homeworks etc.). Therefore, I completed this work last week. Last week, we were also asked to complete a Normalisation workbook, of which we only got on Friday. Previous to that, I had worked on some normalisation questions which appeared on a word document on the datapool (which the teacher had asked us to do). I have worked on the workbook during the limited time in class (because she also showed us a normalisation powerpoint display on friday), over the weekend and today. I have completed up to section 2 of the workbook and will complete the final section as soon as I get the time (other homeworks to be completed and I am going to have a look at those normalisation websites mentioned in the workbook because I don't really understand section 3).
Last week on Wednesday, Mrs. Foster also asked us to summarise section 4.6 (Software Quality) in the textbook. This work is completed. We were also asked to update our blogs, of which I am doing now.
Therefore, I am completely up to date with everything apart from section 3 of the normalisation workbook, which I hope to complete later tonight when I finish my other homeworks or by the very latest some time tommorow.
Today in class, we worked on a target setting form. At AS Level, my results were as follows:
Module1: 69/90 B
Module 2: 82/90 A
Module 3: 120/120. A
Overall: Grade A
I have targeted for the following exam score:
Module 4: 85/90 A
Module 5: 85/90 A
Module 6: 120/120 A
Overall: Grade A
I recognised that my only concern during last year's Summer exam was probably the networking section of module 1's exam. This is the only module in which I didn't achieve a grade A. I scored 69/90, which was a grade B. The reason for this is because I had 2 other examinations on the same day (one for Geography and one for French) from 9.00 to 5.00 and only had a few days gap for studying since the last exam. This year, some of my module exams for subjects will take place in January instead, thus I will have more time to study and less chance of exams being crammed together (I have also dropped French this year).
Having modules in January (and possibly repeats), could affect coursework, but Mr.Barr has said he aims to get it done by Christmas, thus there shouldn't be a problem and I should be able to meet my target exam scores, and achieve an overall grade A at A-Level.
