After some great sessions with Peter Thomas this past week hope you're feeling challenged and excited in your learning and next steps forward into forming your work for each module in preparation for submission at the end of the term.
A few thoughts at this stage:
This coming week is our Mid-Term break (Oct 19-25)
This means there are no scheduled sessions via skype and no supervisions available - It is not a 'week off' however for your study. See it as a chance for you to really focus on the work at hand now. Take some time this week to gather together and organise notes from your reading so far, sketches of ideas, thought patterns, comments from your supervisions in order to begin to tackle to work that is needed for submission at the end of the module (Dec 11).
Dates for drafts of work are coming up across the modules from late October and submission dates MORE forms (module two) in November. Make a plan to work back from these dates to prepare the work needed now.
Our availability for supervisions are being updated on UniHub this weekend, and you have your Mid-Term Supervision week Nov 2-8. Book in a time to talk with your supervisor during this week. At this stage you should be coming to a supervision to discuss your work, talk through the theories you're engaging with, the thoughts emerging from your practice to help you move forward in shaping your work for assessment in December.
Focus reminders at this stage in the module:
Module One: drafting essay and mapping ideas for diagrams
Module Two: MORE form
Module Three: Data collection coming to a close, preparing for analysis
Do book your supervision time in.
We look forward to taking with you further about your work soon...
