I just finished a rant blog
on community for my BAPP blog (have a look and see what you think!!) and now
while I’m in a telling-people-what-to-do-and-what-not-to-do kinda mood …
This blog post is about
checking you are getting on with it.
Firstly I must say that as
an advisor on the course I try to keep my eye on the ball of you getting the
most out of the study and I try to filter out admin and anything else that
might stop you but you need to keep a breast of it I understand. That being
said make sure you are clear that in January RoL students (which the all the
module Ones are this year) have to give in about 7 – 10 essays each claiming credits
in different areas of your life and Module twos have to have a whole research plan
worked out along with reflective reason for why it is constructed the way it
is. So make a bucket list of the steps you have to take to do this and start
doing it! Don’t wait for admin to work out to start doing X. Don’t get
caught-up with setting up your blog set one up already and move on… don’t
ponder too long on blog posts or paw over your CV or try to work out what is best: doing it will tell you. You
might ‘go wrong’ but you can’t know until you do it. And we are interested in
your learning so if you ‘go wrong’ and can explain why and what you think, what
you learnt you will probably have a stronger final paper than if you were
perfect all term.
Module Ones: List so RoL and
send them out – to your advisor and to your blog get feedback.
Comment on someone else’s
RoL and give them feedback.
Module Twos: dive into a
question and explore where it goes as you look into the literature on it, the
ethics around it and the issues it resonates with on a day-to-day basis.
Courage
What do you think?
