registration numbers SOI help and deadline reminder
Hi,
They are on the notice board. ND numbers will be back up today after someone took them?!
See you Monday
FYI Here are some of the deadlines...
Personal statements for UCAS, your deadline has now been and gone. Anyone not having done this needs to email me asap.
All references will be written up for next friday.
Statments of Intent
I would like final drafts in on Monday/Tuesday
Some tips for SOIs:
Use the headings that have been given to you, that MUST be used in your final draft.
All SOIS must have an evaluation method such as questionnaires, vox pops, video documentary etc.
Timetables need be explained daily, and differentiate between primary and secondary.
You must have a title that explains th eproject clearly. Use your skills from the communication brief.
Concepts and ideas, be ambitious, use language like I intend to I hope to I should be able to... That stops you being cornered into a hole.
Specify an exihibition that is relevant to your work. Make this design related.
Choose several processes that were strong and idicated to you in your assessment AND try some new things, be ambitious.
Include theory, this will help with ideas development.
Be ambitious but remember what is your strength and weakness - research, developemtn work, final outcome. Adjust your timetable accordingly AND make sure you have an action plan. This could include why you leave more time, say for the research (if this is a weakness then that should have more time assigned).
DO put in time to relax!
Above all, don't stressed, eat well and do some exercise!

hello, apologies for not writing back
I hear your comments and hoped you got the answers to your questions in class (the good old fashioned way).
Well done to all of you for submitting your work for assessment, the results were overall good which bodes well for the next stage of the course.
ND students, I am in the process of marking your work and there are a couple more assessments to do to fit around the Berlin trip. All should be done for Monday. Speaking of which, I have asked students to try and get a sketchbook finished on research for your final major project so that immediate research has been started. The reason I have set such a harsh deadline is so that you can make those discoveries, mistakes and changes asap. SOIs should be complete for Monday too.
Anyone that is panicking badly, come and see me tomorrow for an open surgery from 10.00-4.00.
See you monday, i'll show you the last few years foundation shows in graphics. Should be interesting for you.
