News Article 2

http://internetstudies.ukzn.ac.za/inst102news/node/359

This is a link to the final draft of the second article on The Protection Of Information Bill.

The final post :(

Hi

This will most likely be my final post for the year as I am about to start my exams and most of my time will be devoted to studying 24/7 unfortunately. The last week of Internet Studies has been very intense, the final project draft was completed in the last tutorial and hopefully I can have my final project completed exactly how I want it by the 8th of November. The news article was successfully completed and handed in and with a few tweeks it should be ready to be marked by tomorrow.

This week is the big and dreaded semeseter test on all 15 required readings done this year, however I am making very good progress in my preparation so hopefully the test goes well for me. Lectures in the last week have been focused on various sections but most notably there was a revision on the quiz on friday which was particularly useful.

On a personal note, my weekend was very enjoyable as it was my brothers wedding on saturday and that went very well and I am very happy for him:)

Thank you to all those who have been regularly checking in to see my blog and hopefully the perspective of a psychology student studying internet studies has been entertaining.

Take care

My group (myself, Pooja and Yuvritha) are going to interview 6 people in the fields of politics, journalism and history and ask the various people on there thoughts on the protection of infomation bill that is being currently proposed.

I will add a copy of the questionnaire was it is completed and create a opinion poll on some of the questions to see how it is that the viewing public views are contrasted by those who were asked the questionnaire.
