EVALUATION DEADLINE RESULTS

The following people I supervise completed the evaluation fully and on time, and are congratulated for this:

ZOE CAMERON-WALLER
JOE BLISSET
AMY SHARP

The following people I supervise partially completed:

STEPHEN GRIFFIN 
NIGEL FURMINGER (3 ANSWERS, BUT FILM FOR QN 2 NOT UPLOADED)

SOFIA JONES (3 COMPLETED)
GREG BICKNALL (1 COMPLETED)

NAOMI FOLD (1 COMPLETED)

The following people posted NO WORK. 
We are currently discussing action to take in response to this situation. 
However, time management marks will be lost as a certainty, and an etrackr CAUSE FOR CONCERN note will be posted. OVERALL MARK FOR THE PORTFOLIO MAY BE CONSIDERABLY LOWER IF THIS FOLLOWS A PATTERN OF NON-COMPLETION OF WORK TO DEADLINE.

All of you will need to have a 1:1 with me tomorrow in Tutorial to explain this situation.

YOUR *FINAL* PORTFOLIO DEADLINE IS TOMORROW MIDNIGHT! *ALL* PARTS OF THE PORTFOLIO, AND ALL OF YOUR OWN CONTRIBUTIONS MUST BE POSTED BY THAT TIME.

MIDNIGHT TOMORROW, Friday, IS THE FINAL DEADLINE.
THIS IS A NON-NEGOTIABLE DEADLINE, AND YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ADD MATERIAL AFTER THIS TIME.
TODAY AND TOMORROW - MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THE FOLLOWING ARE DONE:

• GOOD QUALITY VERSIONS OF THE PRODUCTS ON THE BLOG, LABELLED CLEARLY AND NO FURTHER BACK THAN YOUR EVALUATIONS
• HIGH RES AND *FINAL* VERSIONS OF YOUR PRODUCTS IN THE COMPLETED FOLDER ON THE MAC NETWORK (THESE ARE THE ONES WE WILL MARK, SO IT'S VITAL THAT YOU CHECK THE VERSION OF THE FILM YOU PLACE THERE, AND THE SAME WITH THE POSTER/S
• YOUR EVALUATION IS POSTED FULLY - ALL 4 QUESTIONS - LABELLED AND HEADED WITH YOUR NAME
• ALL REQUIRED BLOG POSTS, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS ARE PRESENT (SEE CHECKLISTS, AND INTERIM DEADLINE INFORMATION)

• CHECK ALL POSTS FOR OPTIMUM USE OF THE BLOG FORMAT

GOOD LUCK WITH THESE FINAL STAGES!

DRAFT EVALUATION DEADLINE IS TODAY, FRIDAY JAN 8TH AT MIDNIGHT

Please keep referring to the booklet (on moodle) and class notes to make sure you know how to approach each question, and the areas you need to cover in each. Take another look at level 4 examples on my blog or Andrew's (check that they are not from this year by looking at the archive last posting information or the actual blog dates).
Remember that you don't have to follow our suggestions exactly for format for each question - you can mix and match them, or choose another (better or good as) format if you want. The key thing is that you are using the blog possibilities to the full to gain marks for presentation, use of IT and effective communication.
Following the draft deadline, I'll be making comments on how to improve on the blog itself.
Good luck with this final stage!

Next week in lessons we'll be beginning the new topic - Media and Collective Identity (representations of gender in Film and Magazines).
