Voice and three thoughts

This morning we had one of the two twlight Skype for today. 

Three points emerged

1) As you start Module Two thinking about a question - imagine that you will find it most clearly / understand it best at the end of Module Three!  That is what Module Three is for to better understand the question. So Module Two is about learning about research.

which leads to...
2) Research the different way to research 

3) continually developing what your practice is, means to you, looks like or does, runs as a strand through the whole course - each module should be informed by your gentle development and witnessing of what your own practice is.












Other good news 
Sophie  and Lorien are the news student reps (Student Voice Leaders) there are details for contacting them on UniHub.  

Background to Student Voice Leaders and you: The Programme Voice Groups (PVG’s) are one of the main formal channels of communication between staff and students. They are a forum in which students (through the Student Voice Leaders) and staff can constructively discuss areas of good practice as well as areas needing improvement, with the collective aim of enhancing the student experience. .

PVG’s occur each year and your Student Voice Leader will ask for programme feedback from you to report to staff at the pre-meeting to develop and agenda, for the points to be addressed at the main meeting. You will also be given feedback from both staff and the Student Voice Leaders on the outcomes of the feedback through the UniHub folder

The student voice meeting will be at the end of February. 

Student Voice

Please consider being a student leader by being one of the Student Voice Leaders for BAPP. This means consulting with other people on the programme and feedback string points and things that have developed and things that still need development.

If you become a Student Voice Leader you get some leadership training from the Student Union and of course you can admit to your CV as a responsibility you took on.

Student Voice Meeting where you feedback to the University is the week of February17th 2020 (so if you are Module Three it might not be for you as you might have graduated by February)

Student Voice - Leadership

Our course has two post of Student Voice for students on BAPP. This means working with the Student Union to feedback to us and the University about the course - so we can co-create the learning space we all share. This is a great opportunity to get some training on leadership from the Student Union and also be involved in leadership type activities for your CV.

We need two people who are currently on the course to take up this post. The deadline is by January 30th so please comment below - Comment in general but especially if you want to come forward as one of the Student Voice Leaders.

Friday - changes to and development of BAPP chat

On Friday we had two chats about the changes and development of BAPP. I said I would also put up this blog so you could feedback your thoughts, recommendations and any questions. In the morning one point was raised -
Would changes effect the course so that alumni blogs etc.. would not be useable any more.
No, there are have not been major changes to the content of the course. we are up-dating some things (including the Module Handbook). You can continue to look and communicate across older blogs to explore ideas in each of the Modules.

We also confirmed two student reps and a student rep. 'swing'.
So our student reps are:
Matt Lindablad https://noisejoy11.blogspot.co.uk
Eleanor Byrne https://ellebyrne.blogspot.co.uk
(swing - Arghierenia Kyrimi http://arghierenia-bapp.blogspot.co.uk)
Thank you to them for taking on the role. They will be listening to your ideas and experiences, and reporting back ideas during the Student Voice meeting we will be now having each February.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts below.
