RPL submission

For those submitting RPLs the Turnit-in portals are open.
There can be up to two points of  submission for RPL:

In Module One
- (A) you can submit all your RPL materials (AOLs, and paperwork according to your own portfolio discussed with your Supervisor and The RPL Overview Form) preferred
 or
- (B) you can submit ONE AOL (paperwork for that AOL) and The RPL Overview Form detailing ALL the AOLs you plan to submit including the one you are submitting at the time)

If you are taking  the (B) route you need to submit the rest of your AOLs by the end of the Summer (September 1st). This second submission needs to consist of all remaining AOLs and paperwork AND the RPL Overview Form again (with any up-dates in line with the detail of the AOLs submitted. You can not change the Topic of the AOLs overviewed on The RPL Overview Form you first submitted unless this is after consultation with your Supervisor ) 

Feedback...

Dear All
Please remember feedback on drafts had a deadline almost a month ago. Most people have sent a draft of some kind to us. Overall your feedback is about structure, construction, and writing devices such as citation. feedback on one piece of writing can be used by you to question other pieces of writing. In other words if you received feedback on something on one draft check the same thing yourself on other drafts.

If you have any specific feedback questions or ideas you want to discuss and I am your Supervisor please call me. I will NOT prioritize responding to emails asking me if you can call, because I have now said this a number of times, it is in the handbooks, and it is on UniHub - you can call particularly during office hours. These last weeks of term are best used developing your confidence in your work, looking at the learning outcomes in the handbook and reflecting on your study this term in order to think about how your final submissions can be tweeked.

Where 'Change' is in methodology

Today we had a really good conversation. For me it was about looking at the methodological, be it approach you are taking for your research or the approach you have within your practice and the effect it has. Looking at your methodological approach in terms of where you see change sitting. Do you believe change happens for instance by you being present, do things stay the same whether you are there or not bit your perception of them changes you?  Are you changed by each other?

We discussed how it is up to you what your approach is - there is no right or wrong approach we are suggesting. But there is a 'right' or 'wrong' response to activity once you have chosen your methodology. In other words if you come from the belief you can not change things by being there then your response to an event or to analyzing  data must include the assumption you did not changing things by being there - so what where you there for?

March 31st Skype chat was about artifacts and writing

We had a small group discussion with a Module One focus.

Just a reminder the clocks have changed in London now. Our Skype times are set by London time so we are an hour ahead of last week as clocks changed on Sunday.

We talked about writing and creating. The development of an artefact is the making of something to communicate an idea. We are asking you to develop something in writing(an essay or report etc...) and develop something in another form of communication related to your practice. They say 'talk' about the same thing

Looking forward to reading posts on the discussion...
