Organising individual learning schedules

We started off today with another short talk on a source of information used in research. Again, the point came out that the internet provides a lot of information on certain aspects of a photographer's work (mainly critical evaluations). However, the internet, it was observed, is often a poor resource when looking for more obscure or less well-known aspects of a photographer. What's more, and this came up before, the internet is not proving very useful in finding much out about particular photographer's techniques.

After talking to folk last week, having a look back at attendance patterns, and chatting to Tony, I think we've agreed that a more individualised and flexible approach to this class may be more suitable.

So, with that in mind, I devised a list of activities that need to be completed as part of the communication unit. Attendance is mandatory for some of dates. I handed out this list today in class and with some blank spaces for completion dates. As everyone is at slightly different stages, then these Individual Learning Schedules (for want of a snappier title) allow you to choose, up to a point, your own deadlines. I say "up to a point" as there are final deadlines for everything - but it does allow you to prioritise your time a bit more.

I hope this makes sense. If you weren't in today and are a tad confused talk to someone who was here today and they'll be able to fill you in.

Also, get in contact with me (see contact details on right-hand side) and I'll email you a copy of the Individual Learning Schedule.

And, as promised, here's the link to the film that I started off today's class with: http://en.tackfilm.se/ (This will probably only make sense if you were here).
