Week 1 Tutorial Logbook - 30/9

In preparation of the first tutorial for this unit, I went through the relevant information on the Moodle page for The Big Agency to ensure I was up to date. I made sure to have the relevant equipment needed for note taking and made sure to arrive 10 minutes early to avoid lateness.

During the 3 hour tutorial session we were introduced to The Big Agency unit and briefed on our upcoming Assignments. A number of topics were also discussed during the session; appropriate working ethics in the workplace and motivation were the main focus points. We spent roughly 45 minutes discussing ethics in the workplace and decorum. We then went on to brainstorm with the rest of the tutorial group and created a list of what we thought was the appropriate way to act in a workplace environment, this will be useful when applying for jobs and working in a professional environment.

We also started to develop personal elevator pitches, this was after watching a short introductory video on how to create a successful pitch. This video was insightful and helped me to understand what an elevator pitch needs to make it memorable.

The tutorial was a helpful look into The Big Agency and what is to be expected during the academic year.
