That Six Month Learning Plan

Hello again,

So looking back at the six month learning plan, was it a good idea? And how did it go?

Well I think in theory it was a good idea, but the impracticalities of it made it hard to stick to. The problem I found with it was I was using the time I set aside for the learning plan to usually research other skills that I needed at the current time. Due to this I was falling behind with the six month learning plan and it was turning into a month learning plan, then four month learning plan etc.

Due to this I had to revise my six month learning plan to encompass the skills that I used on the course like flash action script, Google map embedding, and YouTube video embedding. My original plan was to go through my Adobe InDesign CS2 book and work my way through each of the chapters. This is something I will still be doing in my own time as I want to learn the program. I couldn't find time to fit in learning it while on the course.

Lots of self learning was undertaken in my own time, it was just not what I had planned to do in the six month learning plan as I had to devote my time to researching and learning new skills for the assignment I was currently doing.

Overall I think a six month learning plan is hard to stick to when there are lots of other things going on at the same time.

Thanks for reading.
Dave
