Thursday...and other things

Next week:

We will be focusing on outcomes and starting to think about ideas for your presentation on 1st March. Please note: your presentation will be 5 - 7 mins long followed by 5 - 7 mins questions. This is a change to what I've previously told you.

Don't worry if you haven't decided on outcomes but for Thursday, can you complete a draft of the programme of study and also, if possible the research report. This can just be in bullet points. This should help clarify what each document is asking of you and to give you a clearer idea of the points you want to include in your presentation. It will also help you work out what you need to do with the remaining time to finalise everything, before submitting.

3 x Pdf's:

Martha, Chloe, Rita, Carol, Pablo, Soo Young have emailed me their pdfs for each of last term's projects. Could John, James, Grace, Amaya, Paula, Anna also email me your pdfs. If you have already done so, apologies but could you tell me when and I'll check my inbox again. Thanks

Portfolio:

You will submit your portfolio along with your research report and programme of study on 4th March. The portfolio contains work you've undertaken since you started on MACD. You can include work made before you started on the course, but only if this work directly relates to your planned research project. This previous work should be clearly marked with an explanation of why it is included and it won't be assessed.

Study support

On Friday Patrick talked to you about the study support groups for the next few weeks.

Also, don't forget Andrea's series of writing lectures beginning on Monday from 4pm - 5.30pm. Room RLS 1100

14th, 21st, 28th February & 7th, 14th, 21st March 2011.

This is open to BA and MA students.

Observation:

On Thursday, Garry Mouat, a fellow student of mine on the PgCert course (Postgraduate certificate in education) will be coming to observe me for the first hour. This is for me to learn how I can improve in my role as tutor. I hope this is acceptable to you (and let me know if it isn't). After that, I might ask him to talk to you about his experience of assessing students in vivas. He works with third year graphic design students at Camberwell.

Best wishes Victoria
