Module 1 advice - timing your work - where are you now?

This blog is for those specifically on Module 1.  It also refers to the advice in your handbook to help you schedule your work in Module 1 and relates to the feedback you should expect during this process.

This study period has an Easter break (weeks of 14th and 21/22nd April) so there is a bit of extra time.

Study period 3^rd February – 9^th May 2013 (12 weeks) SO

WEEK 1 IS THE 3rd of Feb

WEEK 10 IS THE 7th April

Easter 2 weeks 14 /4/13 and 22/4/13

Final WEEK 12 5th of May. We normally only give oral feedback this week.

Submission 13^th May (Tuesday)

However it is now just past the 6th week - so really according to the below you should be finishing up your Part 2 reflection. Don't worry too much if you are not - many of the people on our course experience busy times at work which means that they might have been delayed on coursework…

* NOTE - please comment on other peoples blogs form Module 1 and the other module s on BAPP  Arts - this is a great way to create conversations and get ideas. You can use these conversation s in your assessment as an appendix - explaining what you got from the discussions. This interaction is crucial of the learning you will do on the course - comment today - and tomorrow - and the next day!! 

The scheduling that is suggested in the handbook allows time for you to do your critical reflection after the three main parts to the module. Again, this module is about 'learning' using three main area that are of interest to professional practice.

I AM NOW COMMENTING ON YOUR BLOGS UP TO THIS POINT (some people are usually ahead of this timing).

SO THIS IS WHERE WE ARE UP TO NOW…

We have one more campus session and one more Skype session - but of course you can continue talking to your peers on the blog or through LinkedIn or the sharing information.

Part 3 (Professional Networking) Duration of study time and feedback. 27

Critical Reflection Duration of study time and feedback p. 28

It is possible to send a draft of your critical reflection to your adviser for feedback,

you can also ask others to comment on a draft on your blog to help you evaluate and

analyse your work. Send a digital draft to your adviser by Week 10 for written

feedback (in Week 12 oral feedback only).

So I can give you written feedback on this 1000 words and the supporting evidence - presented as appendices.

Work is due to be submitted on the 13th May through MYLearning (Moodle) so you have plenty of time to left to doing more thinking about how the ideas introduced in the module relate to and maybe even affect your professional practice.
