Well done...

Well done to everyone on a great term's work

and to module three students on completing your MA!!


As you will appreciate now we have to work with the External Examiners and then go through the university assessment boards to confirm all grades, you will see your grades published on Unihub by mid-June. Finalist students you will receive your final degree classification the week after module grades are published. 


Module One - RPL claims are approved and credit added in July.

Module Two - Ethics Approval is due by the end of June, please remember you do not start your field research for your inquiry until September. 

Module three - graduates!! We look forward to celebrating with you at Graduation on July 4th if you're able to make it to London for this.

 

We look forward to working further with returning students in September. 


Term starts back September 12th.

 

 

Deferred submissions are due in by July 6, the folder and turnitin boxes are open now and close 23.59 July 6, you can submit anytime until this deadline for consideration for progression to the next module in September.

Preparation for Presentations

We are looking forward to hearing, seeing, learning more about the journey of the inquiry process from Module Three students later this week..

 

As you prepare for these presentations please consider the following:


You have 30mins in total, this time includes sharing your professional artefact with us. It will depend on how you are presenting as to how this happens, you might conso ider spending 20mins on your presentation and 10 mins on your artefact or they may work better woven into each other across the 30mins, but do please practice to time!


You are not required to use a powerpoint or similar presentation tool. You may wish to include visual aids and prompts but consider how you do this, why and how the visual aids contribute to what you want to communicate - ie: don't read directly your slides to us. If using slides use as prompts/aids only. 


Please ensure you are confident with sharing screen, including sound if needed for any element of your presentation/artefact. We will enable this, but should not be doing it for you as you present.

Please remember to talk to your learning through the process of the inquiry but also across the three modules of MAPP.  Please try and move away from 'findings' as the focus of the presentation. We want to hear about the process and your experience as a practitioner-researcher.

Ensure you have the schedule and double-check times if you are not in the UK - all times of the schedule are given in BST. Please note the time of your presentation AND your viva later the same day - you must be available for both as a minimum requirement and are strongly encouraged to be there for the whole session to support each other, not just deliver your own presentation.

Practice, breathe and celebrate the work you have done by sharing it with others!

MAPP Alumni session cancelled today

 The session scheduled for this evening was intended to be a chance to hear from MAPP alumni about their MAPP journeys and professional development post MAPP. Unfortunately, as live goes, two of the three alumni are unable to make the session. I have decided to cancel, reschedule to next term (all current and graduated MAPP students welcome to attend). I will also ask for some short videos from alumni and begin sharing these online over the summer.


So...last week of term, we are still here if you need to email with questions.. 

Submission date is May 6, 23:59.

Module Three students will give their presentations May 19 and May 20th, on zoom - ALL students are encourgaed to attend, module three's it is expected you are present and supporting your peers alongside giving your own presentation. 

I will post the schedule for these days next week.

Grades and feedback are published via unihub at mid-June.

Finalist students you will receive your overal degree classification (Distinction / Merit / Pass) at the end of June. With graduation ceremony's being held in London in early July.
