In Between RIS Technical Training Days (II)
Another week done and we are swamped with tasks. As for me, I have to include school, work and parenting tasks. It is pretty tiring, but fulfilling. It feels good to be reminded about what I love to do – freelancing. I stopped a couple of years back because of a series of unfortunate events in my life, but now during the Rural Impact Sourcing Technical Training (RISTT), I have a renewed spirit in me.
After all those discussion about:
Certain tasks now include web content creation. This is pretty different from my school tasks. My school tasks are more on academic writing including how to write a theoretical framework:
- Provide theory and proponent.
- Give the full statement of the theory,
- Cite source/s.
- Explain relevance of statements in light of study.
How to write the conceptual framework:
- Cite concept(s) / variable(s).
- Define concept(s) / variable(s) and give the source.
- Explain concept(s) / variable(s) definition in the light of your study.

This is some serious code switching for my brain, and it is making me giddy, like a school-girl.
