Assessment Task - Clarification


Alan went over the Assessment task at the end of the Campus session. 
It really helped a number of us so thought I'd post it for any of you wanting more clarification.
I have written below the notes that I took but they are key points that helped make the objective of writing the assessment clearer to me. I hope that they help you to, read them alongside your module handbook, page 7. They are generally a series of leading/prompting questions. 
What key themes have emerged, are you more or less sure about, which do you intend to pursue. It should not be - I know X or Y. Consider your engagement thus far in the program and the things you have done as well as not done. It's just as valid to say - I wish that I had done more of X or Y. You can say - I cannot get my head around, I need to find a better way to understand this. You need to show that you have taken a more distant and critical/reflective view - where does it leave me, why, what do I intend to do about it. X was an instrumental moment for me, now I need to explore that more. 
Everything up until now, the tasks, only provide the experiences to learn from. People in professional practice will not tell you that X is right or Y is wrong, you are your own manager. You must find your own voice, manage you own professional practices. 
Hope this has helped in some way
Stay safe - Phil
