Starting Module 2

It's a new term and for me, the start of Module 2!

Saturday Skype Session Review:

1. Blog posts reflect where you are at with the BAPP course and any new insights or thoughts

2. Reading other people's blogs will help you navigate the course better

3. Commenting on other people's blogs encourages networking and collective thinking within the community

4. Know when deadlines for assignments and various forms are due

5. Learn to navigate pages such as Turnitin and MORE before submission deadlines

6. Rely on the Module Handbook for literature, leaning outcomes and details for submissions

7. Skype sessions allow for collective learning and reflection on topics in the handbooks


I must admit that starting something new is always daunting, and reading through the module handbook at what I will need to submit after 12 weeks has left me feeling overwhelmed. However, I remember feeling the same way at the beginning of Module 1. What I found to work for me was to systematically work through the handbook, be involved in Skype sessions and look to other people's blogs for clarification. Part of the BAPP course is to be a little lost - as that is the only way to stumble upon different findings. I like to think of it as "practice" because we have not yet perfected what we do; as artists we are constantly having to evolve and therefore can never settle on being 'perfect' because in our field there is no such thing.
