Running order of first few classes

This is how I plan to run the first few months of classes...

21/8 - What the Unit entails, getting to know each other, showcasing our class blog.

28/8 – Moral dilemmas and short reflective writing exercise given out (unassessed).

4/9 – Effective and ineffective presentation delivery, sharing experiences.

11/9 – Effective PowerPoint use / looking at assessment brief, possible subject areas (related to the subject of Nursing).

18/9 – using research tools effectively, firming up presentation titles and agreeing when everybody will deliver their individual talks. The class will be split up into three groups as agreed by you so that there is an ‘audience’ as well as me, but the assessment is individual delivery (minimum 5 minutes). Working on presentations in class time.

25/9 – September Holiday

2/10 – using research tools effectively, firming up presentation titles and agreeing when everybody will deliver their individual talks. The class will be split up into three groups as agreed by you so that there is an ‘audience’ as well as me, but the assessment is individual delivery (minimum 5 minutes).

9/10 – research for presentation. Everybody should send me their PP slides at least two days before delivery.

16/10 – October Holiday

23/10, 30/10 and 6/11 – presentation assessments – the dates and times will be posted on the blog and e mailed to everybody too. These may be done online – we can negotiate this beforehand.

13/11 – reflection on the presentation assessment and a look at writing skills – report writing.
