Tutorial 03

Last week I had to come back to the Ruby's Adventure tutorial because of the issues that occured while I was proceeding on with the VR tutorial. I fell behind but I have caught up. My aims are still to be ahead of the work and now that I caught up with this module and the rest of the module I can start working ahead. I found going back to be hard because I had 61 errors and I had to restart the tutorial as I didn't know how to fix them even after asking many people for help. 

Turns out the problem came from me changing the version way back into the start of the tutorial from version 2020.3.29f1 to 2019.4.35f1. I had to do these changes as the Tiles option in the create section was not there therefore I went to the oldest version and I didn't know I had to turn back. Recently I changed it to 2020.3.29f1 and it all the errors disappeared therefore I left the project I made to restart the process and came back to the one I am currently working on. This mistake was a lesson for me to check the errors frequently so I know the second I implement something if it is a mistake or not.

Analysis

In this week's reading I have learned the following: 

-You do not have to read from beginning to end but let your eyes glance over the sentences. This way thought me how to read a scholarly article in a way that can help my comprehension while saving me some time. 

-Before I begin reading, I must be sure to have a clear topic statement or research question in mind. 

I learned about the different sections in an article like the one in the video and I have also been inspired to carry out a survey to include as a primary source from

My Survey

I found this week's reading to benefit me the most as I understand how to read a scholarly article and I have also done lots of research on the Matrix method and at last I finally understand it. I have filled up the chart in an Excel spreadsheet and I find it so much easier to store the information I need in an organized layout. 

My Matrix

I am currently working on my 6th source mentioned in the Harvard Reference in this blog post.

I research articles on the internet through Ecosia and I copy and paste them into a Miro board for me to go through each article and pick the most reliable one.  

My aims for the following week is to start writing my first draft.

Growth Mindset

 Below this paragraph are two quotes that I live by everyday and I feel that my fellow peers would benefit a lot from them. I started researching quotes so that I can be inspired and create my own inspirational quote. I came up with..

"Always try your best if you do the job without care you can expect disappointment."

The message behind this quote means is to strive for your best self and if you receive for example a grade that wasn't what you expected than at least you know you tried your hardest instead of regretting the past. This doesn't mean you have to begin straight away you can grow over time. 

Here are some articles I have read this week that you may find useful:
