Feedback complete for final summative assessment - reading analysis

Afternoon all,

I have now marked all the reading analysis papers from yesterday, so now it is time for some lunch!

I thought you all did a very good job and although everybody has some remediation / completion to do, the work was of a high standard, so well done, all.

The feedback should be very clear, and once you get the article back on Monday in class, you will be able to add to your responses and e mail me back. I will be able to provide further feedback on the day if you are providing remediated answers.

For those of you who were unable to attend yesterday, I believe two sessions will get you through (this is the bonus of having the three hour time slot of course). There should be no panic. 

The remaining sessions are on Mondays 6th and 20th February (holiday on 13/2/23).

In the final class I have with you, on Monday 27th February, Fiona will pop up to make your acquaintance and pass you some Literature One documents to look at before she starts working with you from March 6th until the end of term.

In the 27/2/23 session, I will deliver a final overview of our learning and invite you to make some final reflections via the class blog. IF we need to use the remaining two hours of that session to complete any reading assessments, we will.

Everybody in the class has passed the first three assessments: presentation, listening, laboratory report.

You are all doing really well and I have been buoyed learning of so many conditional offers for your respective Uni choices so early on in the process. Excellent, and thoroughly merited if I may be so bold.

See you all Monday 6th Feb at 1 in S34.

Have a great week,

Mark

UCAS applications

Hello all,

I have everything crossed for your University applications. You are all strong students and all the personal statements I saw were really detailed I thought.

Please let me know how your applications are progressing. There should be some movement fairly quickly I would have thought, although there’s no exact ‘science’ as to the process!

Best of luck to you all,

Mark
