My Biggest Weakness:

My biggest weakness is my priorities. Most of the time, I tend to put my hobbies and the things that I enjoy outside of college first. Instead of completing work as soon as it is set, I leave it until nearer the deadline and then find myself rushing work and failing to complete it to a high standard. To overcome this weakness, I will complete all of my work when it is set and also try and get most of the work out of the way during college hours, so that I don't have a huge pile up of work to complete in such little time. I think I can do well in the coursework and overcome this weakness as long as I keep myself disciplined and motivated to achieve the best I can!

Specific: As soon as I am set work, I need to complete it as soon as possible so that it does not build up. In order to do this, I can make use of my free periods during college hours and complete any outstanding work. This way, I will not have as much work to do during my free time and will therefore not get distracted.

Measurable: Whenever I am set a piece of work, I need to make sure that I complete it to the highest standard possible, and also as soon as possible. Once this is done, I can mark this piece of work off and move onto the next task.

Attainable: I think that I am more than capable of completing all of my work to a high standard and I can achieve this by devoting a large part of my free time to completing any work as soon as it is set.

Relevant: I believe that everything I have included in my SMART targets so far is relevant to helping me achieve the best I can. All of my targets are realistic and I am fully capable of sticking to them and getting a high grade.

Time-bound: Throughout my time completing work for my blog, I need to make sure that I meet all of the weekly deadlines and of course the final deadline on the 15th January 2014. By meeting all of the deadlines running up to January, I will be able to stay on top of my work and not fall behind. 

What makes a level 4 coursework portfolio?

For this task I created a mind map explaining what I thought would make a level 4 coursework portfolio. The mind map has six branches coming off of it, and each of these branches have a sub heading. Every heading included in the mind map is one of the tabs that is included on my blog. In each section, I talk about what I think will help me achieve high marks for that area of the coursework. Although the 'Preliminary Task' section does not offer marks, I thought it would be appropriate to include it in the mind map to get me thinking about what I need to include in it. Apart from the requirements I have already mentioned, I also need to make sure that all of my work is completed to the highest standard possible and meet all deadlines.
