Friday- I met with my supervisor to discuss my progress so far with the handbook. So far, I have completed the rough draft of the document. I still need to edit the original handbook by using track changes on microsoft word. Then I am going to convert the original document into a PDF file and upload it to my web portfolio.
The next step for the re-designed handbook is to add images to eliminate white space. After completing the rough draft of the handbook, I still need to complete to fliers for the handbook. I want to have everything completed by next weekend before the poster presentation. So, this upcoming week is going to be dedicated to tying up all lose ends before April 28th.
Next week, my supervisor is going to provide me with pictures of a family dinner at the House and also pictures of the outside of the building.

Those loose ends may take longer than you think. Or maybe you're more efficient than me, which is pretty probable actually. My own loose ends were planned to be tied this past weekend before the poster presentation. That plan did not come to fruition, unfortunately. Things that have absolutely needed to get finished have; everything else has been put off so now I am frantically working on those loose ends. I'm just saying, allow yourself plenty of time for "loose ends." They may be way looser than you thought.
ReplyDeleteGood advice here from Berkeley about budgeting time for "loose ends." I struggle quite a bit of this aspect of project planning when it comes to working with one of my collaborators, actually -- she consistently underestimates and I consistently overestimate the time needed to complete certain aspects of projects; we both agree on the individual tasks that need to be completed but often disagree about the time it will take to complete those tasks. In part this problem arises from differences in personality; she is an "idea" person while I'm an "attention to details" person, and these different approaches to projects has been something that we've had to be explicit about and acknowledge as we plan new projects.
