I put up a blog post about presentation of work. It was meant to be funny but it might have seemed a bit harsh - sorry.
What I was saying was: As you are nearing the end of the module you are on, it is important to start to think about your work in a wider context. There is a lot of inner reflection thats part of the process of the modules and it is easy to start to see your work just from the perspective of your own inner reflective process of getting to where you are.
But what you are handing in is going to be read on its own terms - the person reading it does not know the process that got you to where you are to write what you hand-in. (We are not inside your head, don't leave it up to the reader to make sense of what you are handing-in).
So you need to make sure you have the wider context in your work this includes simple things like making sure your name and student number is clearly on your work. It also includes the way you introduce or begin your work. Start with an introduction that explains who you are and what it is we will be reading in the paper you are handing in. Do not assume the person who is reading your work knows all about you.
All this is about positioning yourself and having confidence in your work. The Professional Practice element of this course connects with how you present yourself and the confidence within which you do this. Just like at an audition - even if you know the directors really well you still do the audition as if they had never seem you before.
Here are some past blogs I have written about positioning of Self:

Often I think I am writing what is in my head but I barely touch the surface. Or I waffle around without actually putting down the facts and figures. Im now working on Draft no.2 of my plan and hope to make it clearer for the reader. Im am trying to eliminate the guessing game by asking family to read it and when they say 'Lois... What do you mean by this" I am re wording that part of the essay.
ReplyDeleteGood idea getting family or friends to read it and give feedback. A
