We have a home campus but this is self managed learning so a lot happens at a distance. Everyone will have an academic adviser to help.

A liberal estimate of the time it will take during the 12 week study periods is approximately 6 hours per week (or more). Schedule this into your own diary as study time so that the work can fit around your other jobs.

We work with social media, digital media and paper copies. Deadlines for drafts and final work are important.

1. Keep in contact and update your programme leader and advisers with your correct contact details.

2. Avni Shah and Sabrina Barnett are Media and Performing Arts administrators.

3. Students cards should be processed for this module so that you will have them when you need them.

4. We need a new student representative for BAPP (Arts). Please work with this volunteer and other peers to help us improve the programme.

1. BAPP (Arts) feedback forms are at the end of the Modules you take. The form will most likely be on Survey Monkey. We value feedback and have used your feedback in our planning of the new curriculum for BAPP (Arts).

Some administrative points for BAPP (Arts)

Our assessment is linked to university guidelines:http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/Strategy/regulations/gradecriteriaguide.aspx

Assessment is clearly outlined in the Programme Handbook & Module Handbooks. Assessment this term is due to be submitted 7th January 2014.

The Readers are there to support your learning and to challenge you. They are not there as just ‘content’ to learn… but are there to get you thinking about your professional practice.

This is a Level 6 Honours level programme so the expectations are that your work will be of high standard and your learning will be self-managed. Dedicated support is available from your adviser, the BAPP (Arts) team, and the university staff.
