New term

Great to be welcoming new starters to the MAPP community this week as well as welcoming back returning students as you move into your next modules of the programmes. 


A reminder that we have our Welcome/Welcome back sessions on Zoom this week 

Friday 5th at 5pm (UK) 

OR

Saturday 6th at 2pm (UK)

choose which day/time works best for you and come to that one, no need to attend both!


We are welcoming also an extended Programme Team this term with Angela Woodhouse and Sam Murray joining Adesola and I. Angela and Sam come with a wealth of professional practice in the arts industry and will introduce themselves during the Welcome sessions and be sharing their practice with you through talks/lectures this term. 

 

You should all have access to your schedule of activities this term (on Unihub in the Academic Calendar folder) and in your Programme Handbooks. Returning students please note Handbooks are updated for Jan 2021, please use these ones for accuracy not anything you may have downloaded last term. 

Please continue to check Adesola's blog and my blog regularly (at least weekly) and we will continue to use Adesola's blog for signing up for skype sessions as listed in the schedule. If you want to be a part of that discussion group you must comment on the blog to say so!

Adesola and I are inviting you to sign up for yout first 1-2-1 supervision of the term. Please do so if you haven't (via Doodlepoll) to discuss the term ahead and feedback from your last module for returners.

Please note that grades for work submitted last term are published on MyUniHub after Feb 15th.


We look forward to a great term ahead with everyone!!

  6. Hi Helen,
    I'm hoping I have managed to set up my blog correctly! This is a whole new phenomenon for me!
    I need to reschedule a 1-1 with Adesola but the doodle poll is full - I tried to contact her on her blog but I don't know if it worked?

  7. Yes, the blogs are new for most people coming into the programme, well done for getting it going! We post availability on doodlepoll on a rolling basis ..keep checking, but this does not stop you getting started with the module handbook and reading list material...look forward to seeing you at the Module One focus session next Wednesday too.
