All work is submitted via the turnitin submission box 
this is on your MAPP DTP or MAPP Dance Programme page on UniHub

Under the title - May 21st Submissions you will find a turnitin icon for each module and one for the RPL claims, please submit to the correct module for the work you are turning in.

There are a number of forms required to be submitted as part of Module Two. These should be submitted as an appendix to the Inquiry Proposal and still uploaded as one word document.

All forms can be found under 'Forms and Temnplates' on your MAPP DTP or MAPP Dance Programme page on UniHub.

Drafts and Feedback...

We are working through reading your drafts and offering feedback on them... the feedback is just that - an offering, some thoughts, suggestions, further considerations, questions to encourage you to move on, delve deeper, gain more clarity in the communication of your ideas. 

It is important to recognise that these are not 'corrections'. We are not telling you what is 'wrong' in order for you to correct it and make it 'right'. We are offering professional advice from experience, a critical eye/ear, an alternative and additional perspective to your work. We are not telling you how to do it, or when it is 'right'.

The process of developing your work, (all modules here, your profession, life...) is just that 
'a process'. 

Something to be re-visited (a draft is not a finished piece of work), re-considered, re-thought along the way in order that it might grow and develop with you. Most creative projects are not linear in their development, most are not 'done' on first draft, first sharing, but they take that sharing to invite others views which may offer something more to your own thinking and perspective. 

Share, think further, re-draft, keep questioning, editing ...it's all part of the process and only you will know when it says what it needs to say.
