Ass 1 Step 3 – Studiosity

• 

Studiosity has already made me feel much more confident in my own work. At first, I had some problems logging in and thought it was going to be more hassle than what it is worth. However, once I logged in I realised what a wonderful service it is. I submitted my assessment and had it back within a couple of hours.  

As expected, most of my areas to improve were in spelling and grammar. I usually have someone at work read the majority of my assessments before I submit them to check spelling and grammar. Studiosity will be useful in the future as I will not have to hassle anyone at work to check my assessment and I can also be confident in the person checking them.  

I notice that the feedback does not give the answers but points you in the right direction. For example, one of my comments was “This is not spelt correctly. Please double-check the spelling.”, so instead of providing the correct spelling, the author just points out the mistake but leaves the correction to myself. I wish they would just tell me the answers – but then again how would I learn and the focus of this unit is effective learning.  

I tend to lose focus when I am writing, especially when it is my own thoughts. My mind can be manic at times and this can be reflected in my writing. Similarly, when I am telling someone a story I deviate from the storyline and get lost. Studiosity was fantastic in pointing out to me where I was doing this in my KCQs, it pinpointed the areas where I needed to be more concise which was very helpful.  

The only negative I can find to Studiosity is that it appears I only have 320 minutes per month and I plan to use it for all assessments for all units from now on so hopefully 320 mins is enough. I wish I had known about Studiosity last semester.
