ARE YOUR 3 PRODUCTS ON YOUR BLOG, AND TITLED 'FINAL FILM'/POSTER/REVIEW?

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MARKING YOUR COURSEWORK AND SOME GROUPS HAVE STILL NOT POSTED FINAL PRODUCTS TO THE BLOG OR SAVED THEM TO THE COMPLETED FOLDER ON THE NETWORK. 
IF THIS IS THE CASE FOR YOUR GROUP, YOUR OWN COURSEWORK RESULT IS IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY.
NO WORK IN COMPLETED FOLDER =  NO MARKS!! 
WRONG VERSION ON THE NETWORK? THIS MAY BE THE ONE WE MARK!

AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WE ARE ALLOWING A FINAL WINDOW TO IMPROVE ANY ASPECT OF YOUR WORK, BUT -
YOU HAVE ONLY TWO WEEKS TO DO THIS!
NO FURTHER WORK WILL BE ALLOWED, AND FINAL MARKING WILL BEGIN.

THESE GROUPS NEED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF MISSING WORK IMMEDIATELY:

 - ISAAC AND JAMIE - FILM NOT ON BLOG - NEEDS TO BE POSTED WITH ANCILLARY PRODUCTS
 - MAISIE, JACK, MEGAN - CLEARER LABELLING AND GROUPING OF FINAL PRODUCTS NEEDED ON BLOG
- HOLLY, LAURA, HARRY - FINAL PRODUCTS NEED CLEAR LABELLING AND GROUPING ON BLOG. THE REVIEW DOESN'T APPEAR MARKED AS FINAL YET. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS YOU HAVE MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DRAFT.
- BETH, BECKY, SARAH, JOSH - CURRENTLY THERE IS NO FINAL FILM TO MARK ON THE BLOG OR IN THE COMPLETED FOLDER ON THE NETWORK - A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. ANCILLARY PRODUCTS ALSO NOT LABELLED CLEARLY AS FINAL. AS THINGS STAND, NO PASS GRADES ARE POSSIBLE FOR THIS GROUP FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FILM. WORK IS NEEDED ON THE REVIEW - SEE COMMENTS UNDER THE POST 1st JAN.

YOUR DRAFT EVALUATION DEADLINE HAS NOW PASSED

IF YOU POSTED YOUR EVALUATION BY THE DEADLINE (SUNDAY JAN 4TH MIDNIGHT), YOU CAN EXPECT ADVICE FROM ME ON HOW TO IMPROVE, WHICH WILL BE POSTED TO Y0UR BLOG IN THE COMMENTS SECTIONS BELOW YOUR DRAFT.
