How big are peoples portfolioz getting? (1 Viewer)

[networkmaster]

Mine was only 8539 words

Ah screw it. The rest of the folio can be crap. I'm not gonna pull an all nighter. Almost did last night and I'm literally forcing my eyes to stay open. Time for a coffee break.

 

[lucidassembly]

Yeah but you did 30 000 words for your folio (I have no idea how). I'm struggling with 10 000 :/

Still have realisation and evaluation to go with part of management and development. Then i have to print the folio.

I know everyone just says it, but it really is quality over quantity. And honestly, you should see my Evidence of Creativity section. My idea generation is literally non existent! I have about two pages of sketches and that's it. Neither quality nor qualitity there lol.

 

[Cob-was-here]

Ah yeah, well, I focused on quality. I tried not to repeat myself in sections. I actually had a LOT to write about and could have pulled out tens of thousands of words if i had the time, but in my opinion, its pointless.

Man that coffee break helped.

 

[networkmaster]

mmmmm coffee ^_^

Evidence of creativity, mine is like half a page

 

[wendus]

i srsly need coffee. although we gotz none in the house right now arghhhhhh

Despite the amount of words I wrote, I completely agree. DT seems to constantly encourage unnecessary repetition throughout the entire portfolio, and it's not only pointless, it's counter-productive. Why should we bother listing everything 13 times when we could be summarising and more clearly expressing information?

Reason number 17890 as to why I regret choosing this subject.

Evidence of creativity, mine is like half a page

That's the best thing anyone has said to me all day

Btw, am I the only person here who doesn't like coffee lol?

 

[J'harpin'D]

man i am now up to about 50+ pages and almost 10 000 words, i haven't added my sketches and i have 10 hours till its due
also now diary i plan to fudge that between 4am and 6 30am
i am soooo tired slept like four hours last night, i am trying to get all the headings righ but its impossible
i left about 95% folio to do last minute, pissed my parents off pretty good!

 

[wendus]

dt is the most pointless stupid process ever. too much repetition in portfolio, too much money spent on something you're never even going to use. just stupid.

HAHA This man is clearly my long lost twin. Except I'm onto the last week of my 36 page (so far) written diary. -Glad its the only thing i didnt leave til the night before.

HSC has brought out my inner coffee drinker. I seriously have grown dependent. I can't function without my cup every morning.
Just wondering, how much money did people spend all up? $530 for me.

 

[wendus]

arghhhhhh a few hundred i think. haven't done the finance plan so wouldn't know! lol.

ah crap i'm screwed.

 

[lucidassembly]

I know! I might not be constantly broke once I'm done with dt. I had to buy a computer program to complete mine, so it cost far too much.

also now diary i plan to fudge that between 4am and 6 30am

My last entry was in May I'll be busy tonight!

 

[Cob-was-here]

Did you keep a receipt for everything? If not, you will have it hard.

My last entry was in May I'll be busy tonight!

Haha a month and a half ago, I caught up on 6 months worth... I foolishly made the decidion to do a diary entry for every day. If you are doing it last minute, I recommend weekly entries.

 

[J'harpin'D]

i've got all my reciepts and my project comes to around $90.
my last diary entry was the 2nd of February, even then i think it was fudged!
also no coffee i doing this without caffeine!
p.s i already have a twin i don't need another

 

[Cob-was-here]

LOL! This thread has basically become the DT whinging and whining thread, but its the only thing helping me maintain my sanity and it's giving me hope in that other people are in the same boat.

 

[J'harpin'D]

my sanity is gone, no sleep + d&t due in 9am tomorrow = sore brain
why didn't we start sooner????

 

[Cob-was-here]

Clearly because we're idiots. But it is going to feel almost orgasmic at 9am tomorrow.

 

[J'harpin'D]

orgasmic? i'll be too tired for that!

 

[Cob-was-here]

I literally plan on sleeping all day at school tomorrow. Time for more coffee.

 

[J'harpin'D]

Time for more coffee.

i just got a mental image of Fry from futurama when he drank 100 coffees!
Woo just hit 10,077 words!
:rofl:
