The true meaning of planning
by orangeacid on July 2, 2006 at 10:27 pmFor the DiDA course, I am required to do a large amount of structured planning. Everything, almost every detail, must be planned and any deviation from your plans must be documented. Some of it you are allowed - occasionally even encouraged - to do your own way. But the rest of it is dictated to you - candidates are ‘told’ how to plan by the board… and if you dont like it, then tough.
We are given certain guidelines to follow. Some ‘guidelines’ are stricter than others - for instance, we have to do a storyboard for movies and information points. I don’t want to work like that, thats not how I work! I want to do flowcharts and diagrams and map things as they come out of my head so I can refine them later.
Obviously, DiDA students are forced to conform to these ‘guidelines’, as failure to do so would result in failing the course. However, I question the usefulness of plans that are forced upon us and dictated to us.
True say although I would be careful as tutors are known to prowl your website.

doesnt seem as stressful but maybe im speaking too soon.
DiDA sounds rubbish, but all that time on pcs im sure geeks would like it
