For the second time I'm trying to comment - there is no comments option available on the above post and no right of reply as the comments option is so obviously moderated!!!:-( getting bored of trying now:-) Not the Reps blog - not anyone's blog. 2 entries by lmhartley in the last 6 months. Y not call it the Andy & Linda non-blog? Who cares? Just to set the record straight comments have never been turned off or moderated. It coudn't continue to be called the Reps Blog because no reps...

Field Pathway Meeting Minutes Tuesday 2nd May 2006 Present: Ken Allen, Lisa Munton, Maureen Slack Strengths from the Second Semester The module guidance materials and hotseats have been very helpful. The resources have gotten(sic!) better over the three years of the degree. Having the module leaders active in First Class on specific modules and knowing clearly who they are has helped clarify module specific issues. Learning Sets have been beneficial in terms of there being a small number of...

What I've done is contacted all the current reps and asked them if they wanted to keep it. No one did so I was going to delete it but then Andy suggested that it was worth keeping (largely because he hates to delete anything -lol) So now I've re-named it 'Not the Reps Blog' and I'm looking for co-authors. I've asked a couple of people to join me but I could do with some more. So if you are looking for somewhere to let off steam, post amusing nonsense, bewail the lot of the full...

This recommendation is accepted. Recommendation 2 Make the use of the tool optional. This recommendation is partially accepted with the proviso that this would need to be through negotiation with learning facilitators if researchers wish to opt out of using the tool. The External Assessor specifically mentioned the tool as good practice. The sections and headings used...

Thank you. http://ultrastudent-reps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=34 http://ultrastudent-reps.blogdrive.com/archive/33.html Mon, 07 Feb 2005 10:03:51 GMT Firstly a BIG welcome. Its great to see Cohort 3 going ahead. Personally I have really enjoyed the challenges of the first year. I found the online FirstClass community a far more central core of the whole experience than I thought I would. My advise to Cohort 3 would be to take part in the "threaded" conversations there early on. It made me feel very much part of the "family." Living overseas as I do at the moment, this feeling of belonging was, and still is, very important to me. Immerse yourselves and ENJOY! http://ultrastudent-reps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=33 http://ultrastudent-reps.blogdrive.com/archive/32.html Fri, 04 Feb 2005 21:49:43 GMT I just want to say 'welcome' to anyone from Cohort 3. Cohort 1 are half way through their degrees now, Cohort 2 are about to start yr 2 and Cohort 3 start at the end of this month. With all it's ups and downs, (and it can feel like a rollercoaster at times!) I wouldn't have missed the last 18 months for anything. My main bits of advice are don't worry about feeling overwhelmed - it comes and goes :-) marks in yr 1 don't count towards your final degree - you just need to pass. don't be afraid of the technology - there is always someone to help join Ultrastudents mailing list for...

I would really like to hear from anyone looking for both good and bad experiences. It may be a good chance with the PC coming up to voice any opinions so please mail me in FC or if you prefer by email if you feel there is someting you want to say but worried your voice isn't being heard. Perhaps UV might need a pat on the back... (more) http://ultrastudent-reps.blogdrive.com/comments?id=29
