Feedback & Essay
Hi folks
Thank you for the presentations today it was a mammoth session, and I really appreciate how hard you all prepared for them (MJ sorry you had to drag yourself out of your sick-bed, hope you feel much better soon), (and Nicola thank you for the baked cookies, delicious!).
I hope participating in and listening to the other presentations today was of benefit to you all. So much has transpired over the last twelve weeks that I feel it was important for everyone to get an overview of the process and reflect on the project outcome.
I will be providing you all with written feedback on the project overall, and your individual contributions of the project management and presentations. As this is not an official university ‘report’ (none is required other than the marks), I will be emailing you all this feedback individually….they will not be passed on to the university. However, as there are so many of you do bare with me as this will take me a few days to compile! With the essay (I’m afraid), the feedback/comments are written out on an official form that then goes back to the university. As you know your final overall mark for this unit will be a combination of the project management, presentation, and essay.
So the essay!! As discussed earlier today the following is confirmation of a happy (?) compromise (as I am the only person to be reading and assessing the essays I can confirm that these are the amended guidelines that I shall be going by):
I hope this is clear, but if any of you have any questions, concerns, whatever, then do please email me as I will be more than happy to help.

So the essay!! As discussed earlier today the following is confirmation of a happy (?) compromise (as I am the only person to be reading and assessing the essays I can confirm that these are the amended guidelines that I shall be going by):
- Ignore the essay title/question that is in the Unit Guide, and use the title:
- ‘SECRETS: A Collaborative Project’
- 1500 words (which allows you %10 under or over word count. As Paula correctly pointed out I won’t be counting the words, however I can instantly tell by sight if the word count is too short!)
- The essay should critically evaluate the key advantages and disadvantages of working collaboratively by reflecting on your SECRETS project/exhibition process and outcome as a case study. Over the last twelve weeks you have done the ‘groundwork’ for this essay so this amended version of the essay will allow you to use and expand on some areas that you already prepared for your presentations (you are half way there already as it were!). Remember it is a reflection on the collaboration of the project overall…not just on your specific ‘job’.
- Feel free to include images/illustrations
- However in terms of the ‘technical’ aspects of the essay: structure, content, presentation and analysis, these do remain the same (I’m sure you are already very familiar with this from other projects and dissertation but do check with the unit guide to make sure)
- Deadline is 16th January 2009
I hope this is clear, but if any of you have any questions, concerns, whatever, then do please email me as I will be more than happy to help.

Early start please!
(sorry to keep going on about this, but I currently only have 8 people's presentation slides out of a class of around 23)
It would be very helpful if we could all arrive a little early tomorrow so we can present a united and professional image. This is especially important for those adding to the Powerpoint in the morning.
Above is a screenshot of the presentation.
If you could match the theme (just a black background with white text!) that would save us time!
If you will be adding slides to the Powerpoint presentation in the morning, please make sure you are in class for 9:30. This should give us enough time (just!) to put together the presentation so we can start at 10:00.
The info/pics have to be inserted to the main show then edited to match the rest.
Thanks to everyone who has sent me their slides - much appreciated!
What was the name of the beer company?
hey guys what is the name of the beer company that was going to sponsor us?
my bit of the presentation (sponsorship)
hey guys
sorry for the no show on Mon, but things got out of hand at the office and with christmas around the corner its getting really hard and im getting swamped with people coming in- i dont think theve heard of the credit crunch!!
anyways- i dont need any pics up for sponsorship as its mainly me just pointing out what we went through how we got rejected etc.
i will put some bullet points and then come early tomorow to add them in before the presentation. ill put them up here too just in case.
anyways see ya!!!!!

Presentation powerpoint
Many thanks to the 4 people who have already sent me their slides for the presentation, they have been incorporated into the main show to make for a seamless presentation.
We asked for everyone to send their presentations to me by end of play yesterday so we wouldn't have to be rushing to get them added & edited before tomorrow. (We do have other work to be doing!)
I don't need much from you, just a couple of photos or slides to act as a visual aid to your verbal presentation.
If I haven't received your slides by 5pm today, I can't promise that I'll be able to add them to the main show - you will have to do this yourself tomorrow morning before the presentation.
We've done really well with this project and could potentially receive high marks - let's not let ourselves and each other down by presenting poorly tomorrow - send me your slides!!!
Thank you.
