During the last two weeks I have spoken to several of you about a wide range of issues in lectures, in Academic Advice Sessions and in passing, in the indoor and outdoor passages of the Stratford Campus.
The beginning of the Semester is generally quite hectic for me because in addition to leading three modules of learning, I am also Programme Leader, and Admissions Tutor with responsibility for organising the welcome and induction of all undergraduates in the Cass School of Education.
Several of you still have unresolved issues to do with the modules I teach, the Education and Community Development Programme or Induction. To see me about any unresolved issues, please come to one of my Academic Advice which are on:
Mondays between 2 -3 in RB.G.19
Tuesdays between 4 - 5 RB.G.20
Wednesday between 12 - 1 in CC.1.17
If you have not enrolled or registered for your modules yet, please do so before tomorrow as after the second week of teaching it will not usually be possible to make changes to your programme of studies and you are going to have to make the best of what you have signed up for. As your programme leader my responsibilities include advising and supporting you with that.
If you need information or advice about issues relating to your programme of studies you might find information on these pages. On the navigation bar to the right of this page are links to the official pages for the programme. Further down you will find links to some of my favourite Study Skills sites.
Scroll down this page to see the 'up to date' programme structure with a list of the modules you need to do to qualify for the BA Education and Community Development (Hons). If the modules you are taking don't follow the pattern outlined below, you should try to see me as soon as possible.
In addition to being programme leader, this year I am also the module leader for ED1010 Children in Their Social Context; ED1015 Diaspora Communities in the UK and ED3022 Gender Security and Education For All. Clicking on the titles just listed will take you to the wetpaint sites for these modules.
If you are reading this because I have sent you an email through UEL Plus, please visit my blog again soon for news about developments with the Wetpaint Wiki for the module.
One of the task I should have time to do over the next couple of days, in addition to updating your UEL Plus sites, is finding out why some of the features of Wetpaint that we used for the modules earlier in the year have been removed. I am very disappointed with how Wetpaint have developed and shall be searching to find out how other lecturers who have been using Wetpaint are coping with these changes. I shall report my findings here and via your UEL Plus sites.
