The Start of a New Term


Our welcome back Skype meeting on Sunday was very informative and has got me excited for what this new term and module will bring. I am looking forward to getting stuck into module 2 and starting some research.

I found the screen sharing and unihub walk through incredibly informative, as I have found the site pretty confusing in the past. I am looking forward to using the online library resources and am also planning to utilise my blog and read others blogs more often this term. Adesola explained that there is a link on her blog page that you can click and you subscribe, so therefore, get an email every time she posts. This is extremely, helpful as I have quite a busy working life and find I miss blog posts quite often. Now I will never miss anything and will be up to date with new announcements and articles.

I plan on posting some of the interesting articles I found during Module 1, because hopefully they might benefit other people as much as they did me. Looking forward to chatting to you all some more soon, sharing our findings and learning together and can't wait to start Module 2.

I have found it difficult to keep motivated and meet my targets. To help counter this, I implemented a strategy that included realistic target setting through a working diary. This has enabled me to systematically complete the module, improve my organisational skills and has reminded me that through hard work and perseverance, I am able to reach my goals. Exploring different research strategies   encouraged me to analyse myself and help me grow in confidence, realising that I wasn’t searching for an answer but for more enlightening information that lead me to more questions. I decided to take a pragmatic path, dealing with my research in a sensible way...

The Start of Something New

This is my first ever blog post so hopefully it will be a success... My name is Lisa and I am currently performing in the West End Show, 42nd Street.  This week, I have started my Professional Practice in Dance (Specialisation) MA and had my first group Skype session, last Friday. I was apprehensive as to what this new venture would entail and didn't really have a clue what to expect. The Skype meeting was very useful and helped to calm my nerves considerably, having not done anything academic for a very, very long time. The conversation involved students who were at different stages of the course. Some that had completed module 1 and some that had completed 1 and 2. This turned out to be very informative as they were able to give tips on what to expect and said it was perfectly normal to feel apprehensive and overwhelmed at the beginning and it would all make sense as Module 1 unfolded. It was also refreshing to hear that quite a few of them had not studied academically for a ...
