Week 10 Review

The layout of this blog is an easy flowing, vertically aligned page. This kind of layout makes it easy for a reader to find every single post that was made. Because the entire site is aligned by date, it makes it easy to find specific posts, so long as the user knows the rough date in which the post was published.
When looking at the headings, honestly, I have not done a great job about trying to draw the reader into the stories, I just have a simple heading that displays the week in which the post was assigned and the topic on which each article is based on.

By the looks of this assessment, All the tasks have been completed, and are ready to be submitted for marking.

Personally, I feel that the Blog activity was pointless, while yes, it provides a suitable working environment in which a person who is marking the assessment can mark a students work and it also provides a platform where a person can see the evolution of the students work throughout the term. I just feel that the amount of work is grossly over whelming to a student who has to balance  a working life and university life. The raw amount of work that has needed to go into this assessment is just so astronomically large that it is difficult to do whilst a person has multiple assessments and several other commitments, working on such a large assignment is almost impossible.

On the whole, this assessment, while it has made me look at my writing style in a different way, has not improved my writing in any form of constructive way, all it has done is change the format in which I can write, the difference between Academic and News writing, while subtle changes are simply jarring.
