This blog is in the form of a 'learning log' for my online studies @ Curtin for NET11.

Final mark on my resource project

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

I got my results from my first assignment in NET11 yesterday, and to my complete shock I got marked as 30/30! I did not have a clue how good or bad my assignment was, and would have been completely satisfied with a B or B+.

Thinking back to when I was working on that assignment, I do remember enjoying it - as I love searching, categorizing and even referencing (I never could have guessed I would love that!) plus the assignment taught me some useful skills, such as how to evaluate information, and how to annotate it so it will be of further use to myself and others.

Getting a mark like that was a good surprise, and made me more confident that I am on the right track with my studies. :)

My Annotated Bibliography of Resources

Thursday, May 3, 2007

Just a quick note to say that my first assignment for NET11, an Annotated Bibliography of Resources, can be found at

http://internetstudies.wordpress.com

I had so much fun researching, reviewing, evaluating, annotating and putting together this blog that I think I would like to maintain a similar type of resource on tips for studying at university. It would be a great project to have while I am studying for my degree, with the added bonus of helping me keep the skills I learnt in this assignment sharp.

Module 1: Domain Name System

Friday, March 9, 2007

I've decided that the topic from Module 1 that I'll cover in my assignment will be the Domain Name System (DNS).

I feel that the Domain Name System has an important role in making World Wide Web so user-friendly, compared to say, having to remember and type in IP addresses, some of which would be constantly changing.

I've found around 10 sites already relating to this topic in various ways, some are articles explaining exactly what DNS is, while one site offers tools such as looking up contact information for a domain/IP address.

Assignment 1 - Resource project

Thursday, March 8, 2007

Today I'm going to search for some resources that are relevant to Module 1.

Some important things to consider are -



  • Finding a range of perspectives on the topic.

  • Checking the accuracy and source of the information I find.

  • Assessing whether this information would be useful to others.



Should be fun!
