The (almost) final hurdle

 I know I'm jumping the gun a little with my blog title as I know we still have our VIVA presentations to do in January however I am starting this week feeling rather positive about the submission due on Friday!

My essay is complete, I just need to get the word count down now by taking out some of my waffling, although this seems like a difficult task I am grateful to be in a position this week where I have too much as opposed to not enough!

I have also finished the creation of my artefact, there were lots of little pieces to organise and now it is just a case of putting them altogether in a video presentation. Originally I was going to accompany my video with text but I know myself I sometimes switch off if there is too much to read so instead I am going to attempt to record a voice over to go with it! I am extremely nervous about this because as much as I love to talk I actually hate the sound of my own voice and I know it's going to take me multiple takes before I get one I am even remotely happy with!

I've actually enjoyed module 3 the most out of all the modules, I really enjoyed the practical side of doing my inquiry and I feel I have learnt so much about myself alongside my chosen topic.

5 more days to go and then its (almost) all over, I'm really looking forward to watching everyones presentations and hearing about their experiences! It feels like we've been on this journey together forever!

Good luck everyone!

    Hi Georgina,
    Thanks for taking the time to read my blog too!
    Congratulations on finding yourself near the finish line :) I'm in the same position as you too - got to get the word count down and do a voice over for my artifact. I have just been working on the 'script' for it. I have to say though I am a bit lost as to how much to do. I know it's indicative of 2500 words but I don't know if I commented over the recording of my artifact, 2500 words will be too much!? But on the other hand I want it to be understood, as just seeing it digitally is not going to be like viewing it in the flesh. Don't know what your thoughts are on that? So I'm close to the end but I know getting this recording right and doing all the fiddly technical bits to do with the video are going to take me time...eeeeek!
    Good luck to you xx

How do you link your data through analysis and reflection?

Tonight I was finally able to make the module 3 call and it was everything I needed at this point in the inquiry process. Before we started Helen read a excerpt from the KORTEXT  "nothing is lost, but we can get lost in it"  What we're saying here is that its not how we get the data for our inquiry, all research is valuable, but how do we figure out what to do with it? This was one of my biggest questions and the part of the inquiry that I felt I was hitting a wall with - the analysis. First of all Helen reminded us of some key points when thinking about the analysis section of the report: Do something with the data - don't include 'raw' data in your report, yes you can use quotes to support your themes but make sure you do something with them. Reflect on what research you have gathered - what relationship does the data have to the lens of your professional practice? What does it mean to you? Analysis is a process - more often than not you will step away fr...

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...

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?
