From engaging in this task, I realized that I needed to create a study schedule so that I could meet the due date ,whilst working part time and keeping up with my other studies .I had no understanding of ‘Turnitin’ ,so I watched the Utube clips on Blackboard and read the Tip Sheets about the process. I also spoke with my friend, who commenced at ECU in mid year 2015 and she said she would help me upload the assignment. This gave me confidence as I knew that there were penalties for late submission without a formal extension. .
