Degree Show Planning

As you come to the end of the course the end result is more than just a hand-in. Each year we have a HE degree show. As I type the horse-trading as to how the show will work is beginning and this gives you all an opportunity to suggest how you wish to have your work seen. As there are only a small number of graduating full-timers this year I am throwing the show open to part-timers to preview work-in-progress.

Therefore what would you show? The outcome of your Production module and selected concept work from Pre-Production.

How will it be shown? DVD showreel, print-outs… what's your thoughts. Let's hear from you over Easter. Begin discussing it via the blog and I'll see what can be done.

The degree show will be held in the Forum area of the main building near photography about the 3rd week in May (after hand-ins).

How should the year end? What's your thoughts?

Student Forum Meeting on Tuesday

Hi all (part-timers and full-timers),

There will be the 2nd student forum on Tuesday 31st March at 9:30 in C431.

If the group reps can attend that would be great. If the year could feedback to Steve or Dave Roberts your concerns, ideas, comments etc. that would be great.

Steve and Dave can you attend? If not can you email me anything you want raising? All students are welcome to attend but use the reps to raise your concerns.

Cheers

Group Rep and 1st Student Forum

Hi everyone,

Three important things to share:

Numero Uno - Group Rep(s) Needed NOW!

Do you remember my call on week 1 that you guys need to appoint a group rep to represent your year - you guessed it I need at least one plucky volunteer (2 would be great). Ideally 1 rep for full-timers and 1 rep for part-timers. You get your own uniform (I lie), you get access to the student rep VIP secret lounge (another lie) and most importantly you get to have a say on how the degree is run, contribute to acquiring resources and get the respect of your group (truth).

Use the blog to propose/nominate yourselves someone else. I'll need at least 1 rep for next Wednesday's Student Forum (see next point).

Numero Dos - Group Rep(s) need to attend Student Forum

Next Wednesday there will be a student forum held at 1:30 in C431. Held in conjunction with FdA Computer Game Design students it is your opportunity to discuss your needs, gripes, positives and influence the development of the degree. The forum is student-focused and led. Staff team discusses at a future meeting the points raised. This forum happens twice an academic year and is crucial to the degree. Student reps lead the forum but any student can attend. In fact we recommend that you all attend.

Numero Tres - Room change

From now on when we meet for crits or tutorials it will be now in C431. J313 has finally been benched and networked as a teaching room Yay! The next group crit is soon and I'll post that separately. If you think you need a 1-to-1 tutorial sooner i'm free this Thursday or later this Wednesday afternoon. Email me to arrange an appointment time.

That's all for now. Spread the word!
