How to contact me


My e mail address is Mark.Hetherington@nclan.ac.uk


I will pop the introductory PP slides on the Moodle soon (well, when I get access to it!)

I aim to review each class by e mail too, which keeps the line of communication open and clear.

The blog will be used to add some interesting news articles, discuss what we have been doing and really to reflect. That is the plan at least.

My office is F17.







Welcome to Communication (NC) with Mark

Hello everybody and welcome to your blog! You will be studying NC Communication (FA1W 12) with me. I'm sure we will have a few laughs over the course of the year, share experiences and I aim to learn from you guys too! 

The course attempts to develop your communication skills in reading, writing, talking and listening. There are quite a few assessments (four over the year), but all of them come back to these basic, but important, skills. 

Furthermore, given the nature of the course, and the high calibre of the student, we like to stretch you a bit. The first session will be about getting to know you, defining communication and giving an overview to the programme of study. 

You are all in safe hands though as I am an SQA verifier for this very Unit, I have worked with Access students for many years and will always work WITH you. This commitment must be two way though. That is how we will be in a good place to achieve the outcomes. 

I hope you enjoy the year working with me, the highs, the lows, the feedback, the class activities. June isn't THAT far away really is it? 

Come and say hello below and let me know how your first week has been so far. The blog is for all of us. It is advisable that you use Google Chrome to make a comment. That way normally yields good success when making a comment.
