FINAL POST!

All there is left to do now is sort out my presentation, and therefore I need not really update my blog any further as by the time I have done my presentation I will have handed in my Extended Project.

This therefore means that this is my FINAL extended project blog post (I will also shortly write my final timetable update too) after seven months worth of research, writing, evaluating, printing and stressing! It has certainly been a very eye opening experience in regards to what University pressures may be like and despite having my struggles I have certainly enjoyed the EP experience, especially the past week in which I have experienced the feeling that all my efforts have paid off and I am finally reaching a conclusion. My main hope is that my dedication to both Psychology and my independent life will be demonstrated through my motivation and especially the fact that I have managed to finish early!

THE END

EP Thoughts: 19/09/12

I just emailed my teacher regarding my previous issue and here is the outcome:

For this reason, I believe it is now time to finish my blog as I have said everything I need to do in order to finish, and all there is left to do now is put it together. I believe that finishing today or tomorrow is certainly an achievable goal!

EP Thoughts: 19/09/12

I have now printed roughly 75% of my final extended project including the dissertation itself after finishing all the required adjustments. All I really have left to do now are the CEC sheets and rounding off my blog and detailed timetable so I can print and include these too.
Of course I must also prepare my presentation but it is possible that this won't be done until after the project. I may email my teacher now to ask about this as I can't print off all of my documents until I have done my presentation.

EP Thoughts: 18/09/12

I have now applied all the edits to my dissertation so this is now fully completed and ready to print off! I also have a third dissertation to print which is the one that shows 'track changes', so my examiner can see exactly what was changed as some parts are unclear on my handwritten version.

I am now going to complete some CEC sheets and my evaluation.

EP Thoughts: 17/09/12

Over the course of the weekend I have printed out my dissertation and written and highlighted what I want to cut, add and change and I am now about to apply these changes to my dissertation on Word itself.

I have also started to print out and file certain documents which I know I have finished.

EP Lesson: 14/09/12

This lesson I visited the college's EP website and found the Connect-Extend-Challenge worksheet which I had not seen before. As the checklist shows that some of these need to be included, a next step will be to complete a few of these referencing some of my sources.

I am also currently in the process of evaluating my sources.

As I have not yet edited my dissertation, I plan to print this out and sort out what I am going to edit before making the changes on the computer.

I spent a free this morning organising my dissertation. This involved adding footnotes and sorting out my bibliography so it is more readable and professional. I am now moving onto evaluating my sources.

EP Lesson: 07/09/12

In today's lesson we completed the reality checklist template which was a report regarding what we had completed over the summer in terms of our projects. After finishing this, I began to revise and update my detailed timetable.

EP Research: 06/09/12

I have stumbled upon this website http://printwhatyoulike.com which will enable me to print the pages of my blog to include in my final project. However, I am unsure if I need to include my blog or just the address of a link to it; I will ask my teacher tomorrow.

EP Thoughts: 06/09/12

I am now back to college and I have my first extended project lesson tomorrow. I am going to wait for this lesson to see what my teacher says about the next step, and show him what I have done before I continue with my EP as I have found that there isn't much more I can do right now.
