Check your work before you submit it!

Just a quick post to remind you all to check your work before you send it off to get marked. Here's an example of how it can go so badly wrong...

This Summer I had taken part in an Online Networking and Employability course with the university of Leicester to learn how to improve my online presence. My final task was to publish an online presentation onto my blog reviewing my experiences during the course.

I had quite a bit of time to spare before the deadline so after finishing my presentation I decided to look at different features of Prezi as I had never used the software before. This included adding the song "Muse- Panic Station" to the background music which, as expected, drowned out all of my narration which had taken me hours to do. So when the time came I uploaded the presentation onto my blog page and submitted the details to the university so they could mark it.

You've guessed it, I forgot to take off the background song and my examiner basically watched some words whilst listening to Muse. Whoops.

This could have all been prevented if I did a final check of my work before submitting it. So please don't do a Bethany, please please please check over your work before handing it in, I'm clearly regretting not doing it.

Here's a copy of what my blog post should have been like, I no longer have the original version, but just play Panic Station really loudly over it and you'll get the idea.
