Continuing Students - Summary of Campus Sessions Autumn 2010

Sorry – the feedback from the Campus Sessions for Continuing students has been tricky to get up as much of it has been discussion and individuals taking notes in those discussions.

In all three Campus Session we have concentrated on looking at the WBS 3861 Handbook and BAPP members have discussed their own projects and progress – in the last session we broke up into smaller groups and individuals discussed their own projects with their groups and Academic Advisors.

For many, it is getting straight what is supposed to go in the report using the Handbook as reference. There is an extract from the Handbook (pp.24-25 in 2010) that I have felt helpful in writing up – some of the terms seem to be overlapping – so it is just stating clearly what you have done for your project i.e.  research aims, objectives and research questions... Some people have also have specific terms of reference from their organisations so these need to be stated.  Most people are doing mixed methods in terms of the research, both quantitative and qualitative, but each project is different! The two appendices  that need to go into the document are the Ethics form from the proposal OR an updated ethics form if the original had to be changed AND the learning extracts from blogs or diaries that evidence your learning.

There are some blogs that talk to these defining terms... All can be accessed from the LibGuide 
There will be an oral assessment – most likely the 20th of January – Avni will send out an emails about this shortly – this is also explained in the Handbook.
