Hi all,

It was great to meet up last week and begin planning our activities for this semester. Thankfully due to the heavy lifting last semester, we have a great opportunity to concentrate on the creation of a portfolio piece. As was discussed the theme and type of multimedia project is up to you! I really enjoyed the discussions of what might be possible(talk to your peers if you missed last week). During this weeks lecture slot please be in a position to describe your project idea to your peers.

This week I will also be setting out our academic writing task, in order for this to be successful you will only be attending the lab slot after this week until your 2nd-year project is complete

I am very conscious of the workload in relation to the 2nd year project so have designed the first half of the semester to take up approx 3 hours of work, with 2 of those happening during your lab slot. We will then make up that time by using both the Wednesday and Thursday timetabled allocations during the second half of the semester.

For returning students there are 3 tasks that need to be completed by Sunday, the rest of you have this done so happy days! We will be using the blogs again to record our work throughout the semester though not as intensely as last semester!

I'm hopeful that you will enjoy both the free rein on the multimedia project as well as developing your academic writing skills, please come and chat if you have any concerns!
