Tafe Subject - Write Reviews

This semester, I am doing two subjects for my TAFE course in Professional Writing. One of these subjects is ‘Write Reviews’.

I have started the reading required to do the reviews. The short version is that I will be reading a book a week and doing a review on it. This is obviously in addition to the class work. At this stage, I am not sure if I am doing it internally or externally. I have enrolled internally (face to face class) but when I went to the 1^st class on Thursday, there was only myself and another student. We are not sure what happened as we hadn’t received any email to say that there was not enough interest to do the class internally.

Either way, I can see this blog as being a good opportunity to share my reviews with a wider audience and gain feedback (hopefully). In part, I guess this is why it was suggested that we start one if we hadn’t already for one of our subjects. I had already created it, so will be continuing to use this as a platform to share my writing (this semester, it will be my reviews that I am doing) and other bits and pieces. Lately that’s been a lot of GetUp information, but the mix will be added to once again now I am going to create other piece to be added.

At the moment, I am reading the 1^st two books for the reviews I have to do for the 1^st assignment. Review will be placed here when I have finished the readings etc. In the mean time, below are two sites for those who are interested in exploring reviews further.
