It has taken me some time to start this unit but I am looking forward to it all the same. My knowledge of laws and regulations within the writing and publishing industry is quite limited and I'm hoping to improve that. My problem is I don't retain things so I was pleased to read that one aim of the unit is to teach us how to find information rather than to make us learn it by rote. A much more useful skill! If I can apply new knowledge to my existing work then I will be very pleased. I like the way this course is giving me opportunity to fiddle with new technologies (for me anyway) and to be a bit more creative than Word allows. Next time i will take a picture of the garden outside my home office. It is quite lovely, even on this dreary day.
