Writing Resources!

Combing through myUniHub page, I discovered the 'LET' program: Learning Enhancement Team.

You can chat or sign up for tutorials and workshops in the Academic Writing and Langauge Support area. They run daily from 3-4pm GMT. I rose early to begin learning, and it was worth it.

I have signed up for two courses to help myself feel confident with the writing requirements for the MAPP.

  1. Understanding Referencing and Avoiding Plagiarism Workshop
  2. Essay Writing
The online workshops come with a printable handout/worksheet. The gentleman who took us through the referencing and citation course spoke about the "CiteThemRight" website as a great location to ensure the accuracy of our references. 

By contacting the Library, I was also able to get the PowerPoint presentation slides to refer back to after completing the Understanding Referencing workshop.

Before we submit essays, we can also submit them to the LET teams for assistance to ensure our citations and references are correct. An excellent addition to our supervisor's comments. 

I recommended LET as a valuable resource to anyone who needs a refresher or wants to learn more about the writing and academic support tools Middlesex University is offering.

    And a thank you from me too. I think I passed it off due to the time zone difference, but looking at it again I believe it's a necessity :)

Hello Fellow MAPP Module Ones, I am at the point where I am going to submit my AOL Essay and am formulating my Portfolio...yet, I have a few remaining questions and am reaching out to you my colleagues for advice.

Formatting our submissions:  I note in the handbook it states to hand in the document in .doc or .docx.  email supervisor for draft work to be .doc or .docx However, I also have some written notes to submit the final documents to Turnitin in .pdf. to preserve formatting.  Can someone please clarify for me?

PPP Induction Meeting - Updated

What a great way to start off my Friday morning!  Thank you, everyone, for turning on your cameras. To see so many fellow artists from around the world encouraged me for the months ahead, and how I may be able to learn from you all. I am missing personal interactions, so it was wonderful to glimpse my new colleagues' real-time animated faces.  I just figured out how to get the Follow button on my sidebar . After more research I believe I have fixed the problem. To follow, click Subscribe and then it should give the follow option. I hope it works this time. Now I am going to explore, read more, and learn about what is to come from those who have foraged ahead and blogged about it. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone. Enjoy your weekends :)

My First Blog Post

🌎 My First Blog Post As I prepare to embark on this journey of attaining my Masters through Middlesex University, I am reminded of how little I know about the tech world.  Oh, I use tech. I don't live in the dark ages. I have a laptop, smartphone (yes, upgraded from my Nokia flip phone), and we even have a wireless home security system that talks directly to that smartphone. I also use tech in dance class. I have my set playlists, and use my iPod, or laptop for music, my phone for slow-mo videos, and have even ventured to try Spotify. I do not consider myself to be very tech-savvy. I feel like as soon as I know how to use and manage an app or device, something updates and changes! And then the pandemic. Offering us ways to grow. We pivot and shift. It has challenged us in many ways and opened a new cyber door for a lot of us to walk through - Zoom.  Zooming. Is it a verb? It does feel like that some days. Zooming between music windows, monitoring and admitting students throug...
