I urinate edited the post for typographical errors). Post 1. Activity 2 maintaining ACAPs online re blood lines Monday, 24 September 2012, 0356 PM Well, Ive just had a pleasant afternoon finding my path around the maze thats called Myacap. Wow. Ive found Ive ended up with a unnumberable of browser pages open, and got lost hazarding I was finding things. I did find it, Im sure I found itNow where was it Anyway, Ill raise up there, Im sure, and so will you. The Grail? Not yet, but Im sure its in there somewhere.

Activity 3. 4 Managing speech pattern Wednesday, 10 October 2012, 0500 PM Ive played sport in the past as a hear counselling tool I was planning and so running a major community festival, and they were long days it was a full-on, and if I wasnt working on it I was thinking about it. baseball season started right in the middle of the planning and I close to didnt play, but I did and found the focus on the game a real relief Nothing else mattered for those trio hours except me and the ball.My sleep patterns returned and though tired from the games, I was thoroughly relaxed. But I like this one. You may have heard of Gangnam style dancing like youre riding a horse well sort of Its enter out of South Korea and its thumping around the world right at once. Anyway her es a bunch of Uni scholarly persons who set(p) up a flashmob in between classes. I reckon it did their stress levels no end of ripe http//www. youtube. com/watch? NR=1v=OAXiUmh-KBg property=fvwp Hey Lynda, maybe we could do this for one of our video teletutorialsTask 2 domain plan covering three weeks including strategies The study guide for Activity iii of BESC1011 referred me to RMIT. (2007). Learning stylesVisual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic Learning Preferences. Retrieved from https//www. dlsweb. rmit. edu. au/lsu/content/1_StudySkills/study_tuts/ eruditeness%20styles/vak. html I undertook the VAK test. The results showed I am a visual scholar with a kinaesthetic inclination. This concurs with my own understanding of my learning style. I have developed a study plan incorporating this style, and provide a three week example below.Three of the learning strategies I have incorporated in this plan and my study efforts are to build a wall contriver highlighting critical assign ment dates and also non- schoolman activities that might either clang or be a much needed relief. to use perspicacity maps. to take frequent breaks. I have found it necessary for me to adopt each session in bites. I have allocated specific measure to open up the weeks session, do the course session, then at a later clip go with the session worldly. In thinking or planning out, I just love mentality Maps they categorise wonderfully. I can get heavily focussed, so taking breaks stops me working till I drop.The five stress management strategies I have determined to remember to practice are to create a comfortable pattern of studying that fits into my life. to set a lawful schedule for study. to break occupations apart so they dont mortify by being too big. resolve to do it now, when now is now. To non procrastinate. to make sure I have down-time when other activities come before studying. If I can regularise my study I think I will be better able to both detainme nt up a consistent level of work, and also non ac familiarity it to overcome me. I think these strategies will do that for me.

Is a primeval part of the overall process of building a knowledge base in the field of study. Better enables justification of assertions/ hypotheses. Is cognition of others work. Shows the way through the knowledge-base to others. Demonstrates competence in the field of study. Engenders confidence in your works credibility Means ones scope of driveing to the resultant postulations are verifiable or challengeable. The three trace words or enounces I selected to use to undertake literature hunt club are Verification (confirmation of theoretical base) Recognition (acknowledgement) Knowledge-building (evolution of theoretical thinking) Keyword take care 1. For my prototypal search I used ACAPs e- daybook search engine focussing on The Psychi nfo database and after several unsatisfactory attempts, tried the Boolean phrase ( academic verification) AND referencing. Results offered ten articles, one of particular but contrarian relevance. In the journal article, Westwood, T. 2005) writes Ive not yet heard a real and convincing argument about why referencing is necessary and it cant be right that we do it like a reflex, a compulsion, Academics kinetics 171 because weve had it drummed into us from way back when we were taught to march our way through essays and exams can it? Left, right, left, right, left, right left. . . And, References shouldnt be used to justify a power were taking in the sense of using them as a precedent (the characters cant justify the author) only to mostly accompany our position in that we (as authors) are leading the way and not hiding behind anything or anyone that weve written into our text. Summary Westwood appears to be sort of a disestablishmentarian, which of itself provides a pertinen t perspective on the subject matter. However, because of the position the author takes and asserts by his actions or inactions the journal article is consciously not referenced. It would be useful to an essay on the composition in providing an academically valid and contrarian position, but most probably would not be regarded as fully reliable under close academic scrutiny. Reference Westwood, T. (2005). Academics dynamics re-writing referencing, Psychodynamic Practice 11(2), 165-176. Keyword search 2. I then utilised Google scholar for the key word, Recognition. I again used a Boolean phrase, recognition AND (academic referencing).This search received over 40,000 possible webpage hits, but the first page of the search results provided a link to a peer reviewed article by Gray, Thompson, Clerehan and Sheard (2008), addressing the topic of referencing the internet for academic integrity. It proffers a contemporary analysis of the challenges surrounding courtly academic referencin g in regard to internet based information and sight sources such as blogs, facebook , wikis and audio and video podcasting. Summary I step this webpage would be a highly useful and relevant reference source for an academic essay on the chosen topic. Reference Gray, K. , Thompson, C. , Clerehan, R. , Sheard, J. (2008) Web 2. 0 authorship Issues of referencing and citation for academic integrity. The Internet and Higher Education,11(2), 112-118. doi. org/10. 1016/j. iheduc. 2008. 03. 01 Keyword search 3. For the third base key word search I used www. google. com. au with the search-phrase (academic knowledge building) AND references This provided two potentially useful sites. http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Knowledge_building Summary This website site fulfilled good purpose in that it contained numerous references of relevant academic works on the topic. However, despite its authorship obviously being of academic origin, it was offered anonymously and without chronology. time the si te could be referenced and the quotes used, the source is not transparent, making it suspicious for direct academic purposes. And http//www. csu. edu. u/division/studserv/my-studies/learning/guides/referencing Again the material on this web page provided useful information and even a highly relevant and appropriately referenced quotation (see below), but its public-service corporation for the purposes of academic quotation was curtailed by its anonymity and absence of chronology. The author writes The academic world is all about knowledge building and the primary reason for citation, then, is that it encourages and supports the collective construction of academic knowledge (Walker Taylor, 2006, pp. 29-30). The paragraph continued, Referencing also forms an prerequisite part in avoiding any tendency towards plagiarism. While the quotation in this paragraph from Walker and Taylor (2006) is highly pertinent to the literature search, it itself would have to be searched to establish its credibility, and as the second sentence could not be attributed, it is therefore of limited use in an academic essay, however true. Summary This webpage provided relevant information for further literature search but itself is not a useful referencing tool for academic purposes as it is undated and anonymous, and perhaps without objectivity.
