Last Open Discussion Group of the term

Do make every effort to come together for the last Open Discussion group of this term this weekend.

 SUNDAY DEC 5, 20:00 (UK)

 

The theme for this session is 'Communicating Ideas' and at this stage in the term, pre-submission of your work for each module on Dec 10th, this is a great space to share with each other your learning through the module of study you're on, hear from others about their journey's through modules you're yet to encounter, offer your ideas as to where you feel your research might be taking you into the next module or into the wider field of your profession, reflect, offer, listen, and continue the conversation. 

 

As always with our Discussion Groups, we hold space for each other to share, all perspectives are valued and everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. 

Look forward to seeing you then

Relationships between Theory and Practice

 Tomorrow we have a session for all MAPP students where we'll invite discussion around the relationships between theory and practice. 

It's been great hearing moments of this in supervisions with some of you lately and Tuesday's session is really to give space for these connections to emerge and be heard in conversation with each other. 

Sharing this TEDtalk from Dr Charles Limb for your thoughts in relation to this body of work and how theory and practice meet and play in this research...

https://www.ted.com/talks/charles_limb_your_brain_on_improv#t-243413

 

 

 

 

Look forward to hearing your thoughts and reflections tomorrow !

1800 (GMT) ALL modules, ALL programmes

Professional practice, patience and respect

A note to remind you please to exercise professional behaviour in your communications with and expectations of your supervisiors role at this point in term.

Please respect that your draft of work is not the only draft we are working with in this period. Please do not send a draft of work and book a supervision to discuss that draft within the same week, this applies to sending work in on Friday and booking a supervision for the Monday following the weekend - this is not an appropriate expectation.

The dates for draft work to be submitted are scheduled to allow time for your supervisor to read, comment and respond, have discussions of your work in time for you to still develop the work for final submission at the end of the term.

As you know, this is not a process of receiving feedback, re-working the draft and re-submitting it for more feedback before submission so please do be patient, you will receive feedback in time to develop the work further. Please do not send further drafts to your supervisior after feedback - note: reading through your next draft of an essay during a supervision is also not appropriate.

This is not to be mean or tight with time, it is a pedagogy of practice developed through these programmes to encourage independent leanring and your own autonomy over the work you produce. Think about how you develop your own critical thinking - ask questions in order to grow further in your work, rather than ask someone else to tell you if it is 'right'!!

Race Equality Charter Student Survey

Urging you all to take a moment to take part in this survey of race equality through  Middlesex University:

Message below from Professor Kurt Barling

Dear student,

 

The University has set out on a path to understand race equality at Middlesex and what this means in reality to students and staff.

 

When Revd. Jesse Jackson stood as a Democratic Presidential Nominee in 1984 he opened the door to a future President Barack Obama.  Our actions today can change the destiny of our community.  When Revd. Jackson came to Middlesex in 2013 he said that “As in learning and Fs in living, is a bad mark”!

The recent staff race equality survey had a fantastic response rate and we are hoping that MDX students will want to contribute to this conversation too by completing this brief 15-20 minute survey accessed from this link:

 

https://mdxl.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cGCoVOWkKxKTMZ8

 

The Survey is open for you to complete now and will have a huge impact on how we understand race equality perspectives amongst Middlesex students.  All the data collected in this survey is anonymous.

 

Please do take the time to complete the REC Student Survey.  If, in addition, you would like to be part of one of the REC Student Focus Groups or be individually interviewed, to extend the REC Teams knowledge with your insights, do get in touch with us at rec@mdx.ac.uk.

 

Many thanks for your support towards this important university work.
