1st draft complete... way over the word count and probably completely off topic

 So I have completely fallen behind on blogging

We've had tier three restrictions, then I moved house and then another full national lockdown so my heads felt a little all over the place!

In all honesty I don't know how I feel about my draft being submitted, on one hand, I'm one step closer to the finished product but on the other hand I feel like I've opened a can of worms as for the majority of the time I felt like I was just waffling on as usual.

But whatever the outcome I do feel like a huge weight has been lifted and I'm ready to take my feedback onboard - full steam ahead until that December deadline!

Would love to know how everyone else is feeling about their drafts?

    Heyy! I agree I have completely come away from the blogging too. Trying to write and submit the essay, blogging did not even cross my mind! It'll be interesting to receive our feedback, well done on getting your essay in and welcome back to the blog! xx

    Hi Georgina, I feel exactly the same about my first draft. It should feel like a weight has been lifted, but I know that this draft will not be my final edit. I am excited to get feedback though and start working on the final draft. Isn't this time going so quickly!? Other than the lockdowns, I hope all has been well with you x

Data collecting - what now?

After what felt like a never ending process I have finished collecting data in the form of interviews and like all things BAPP related I feel like I have more questions than I do answers...  Usually this would leave me on the verge of a breakdown however I am taking this feeling in my stride, my approach to learning has changed over the course of the BAPP programme and I know that there is no black or white answer, every line of inquiry in this course is always going to leave me with more questions. Although I tried my absolute hardest to go into this inquiry without any assumptions it was going to be near impossible, after all, I chose the topic of inquiry so I must have had some pre existing thoughts or feelings towards my inquiry focus which was 'does career transition exist in dance?' I did however make several observations during my interview that as I delve into the literature further could evolve into potential themes… Injury    Job sustainability/Consistent employ...

Redrafts and artefacts

 You would think by now I would have realised how quickly the time flys in the last couple of weeks of the module! Going from feeling rather relaxed about my report to getting my draft back and also working on my artefact has sent me into another whirlwind spiral! My biggest concern with my report is getting the word count down! I know it's better to have too much than not enough but I was already cutting it close and now I know it's going to be a challenge in itself! The feedback on my draft was incredibly helpful and has left me with a lot of things to consider about my inquiry. I really can't believe this time last year I was working on my module one dreading having to write a 5000 word report in module 3 and now I am fully embracing the entire process. I've made a good start with my artefact and now its a case of fine tuning the small details to really reflect my inquiry and the individuality of the process itself! Presentations aside there will be a huge sense of r...

Module 3 Submission

Firstly a massive CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who has submitted their work and to those still working - you've got this! Submitting my work for the final time last week felt amazing! Looking back at my journey from module one I can't believe I'm actually here (I remember sneaking a peak at the module 3 handbook when we first started, seeing the 5500 word report and just thinking - no thank you!) My absolute biggest challenge and similarly to others blogs I have read was the word count. Someone once said to me it's better to have too much than not enough but actually I found this harder! For me it would have been easier to pad the report out with more detail but after re drafting my overview and analysis I was already at 6500 words - and that was without my introduction, literature review and reflection! It took me longer than anticipated to amend my word count without losing any of the analysis and reflection that I had discovered during the inquiry process. Eventuall...
