Notes!!! On confidence and ownership.

Please do not send documents called 'Proposal' or 'AOLs' or 'Reflection' because everyone doing the same tasks. The title of the document is as much for the person receiving it as it is for you. If I get three documents called 'Proposal'. I then open them and hope that the persons name is clearly on the document!! But no!!! Often it is just the written work no page numbers or footer or header with the persons name and id number. I write this for both my BA and MA courses because they are both in professional practice and it is good practice to do the above in general. Send people things with your name on them!

then when it is opened your name again and page numbers in case they need to print it out.

I think this is important because it means what you send is intended for the person reading it. This shows you have taken a moment to think about how the thing you are sending will be experienced by the reader and it means it does not look like you did something and sent it the first moment you thought you wanted reassurance it was ok.

Get what I mean? What do you think? Have you experienced the same thing? Do you suddenly realise you did this too!!!!!!

May 31st 2013 hand-in date

Just a reminder the hand-in date for MAPP is May 31st  2013 (Hard copy post marked or handed-in  by 4pm, electronic copy by midnight).

At this point as we are heading into the month of May, I would anticipate you will have a first draft of the things you are handing in. But you may still feel as if you have a few more ideas to work through. In other words you would have the shape of things and be filling in details.

Keep up the good work
