Assessment flurry

Everybody is running around this week trying to fulfill the assessment criteria. These are bullet points couched in vague language -- ergo, management speak. All the tutors want to pass us, but they are bounded by management protocol. Which is passed on to us. These criteria have quite little to do with personal learning, nor do they take a rounded view of the activity we are engaged in. Most of us are fulfilling what we think is required of us for the sake of the staff and the college and its future. Not for us.

That said, I don't mind forcing myself to play the game, to fulfill my part of the bargain, but the creativity or education in this? Where is it?

Hi there " Jane " --- I was in the search engines researching SEO Software when I came upon your blog..... I don't know if you are out of place in the engines, or I am out of place and just don't realize it :-)
