New Year's Eve Looking at Blogs on 31.12.09

Right I am making a final swing through on comments - glad to see so many up at last. I have had a few queries by email to look at certain blogs so I am doing that and putting comments up... Comment on this post if you have any questions that might be useful to others on the course in this final stage - I am back in the office on 4th January 0208 411 5087.

Over the holiday, I have been doing my doctoral research on the topic of work based learning in Higher Education - doing some of the interview transcripts (long overdue!) with people talking about their interpretation of work-based learning and how they facilitate this form learning. It is really interesting stuff and relates a great deal to what we are doing on the BAPP programme. I get a lot of help from my Supervisor who also does WBL at Birkbeck.

I have also been trying to help final term BAPP students with feedback and info about their final BAPP project reports (the ones that are done in the 3rd module of BAPPS). Because of the schedules that arts professionals have over the holidays, what would be a holiday for many types of work is actually a busy season as you all well know. However, I am looking forward to seeing the final reports in January as people have chosen some good topics that relate to what that do in their workplace.

    FOR TASK E - Please refer to your Handbook p.26 (approx 3x200 words and an brief explanation about the comments) and mine and other tutor’s blogs.

    Task E are your comments and critiques made on other people’s writing using an academic style of writing. ‘The comments are as much about what you have learnt as they are about the work you are commenting on.’

    If you have been a part of a conversation about the work – add this conversation into your Task E even though it has other people’s comments in it – we are concentrating on what you said but in the context of a conversation...

    It says in the Handbook to choose 3 (cut and paste them from the Blogs) and explain why you chose them for Task E – so there is an explanatory section that you send in with the 3 comments/critiques/conversations.
