Deferral

Unfortunately my Dad's health has deteriorated quite rapidly over the past 6 months and he has been (and continues to be) hospitalised for the past 5 weeks. His Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's have progressed and Dad is now with palliative and end of life care. As much as I wanted to get this MA completed in time for my Dad to know I had completed it, I have had to make the difficult decision to defer. I will return to this hopefully in the next submission period, after spending all of the time I now can with my family.

I wish the best of luck to all of the Module 3 students in my group for your submissions.

    Dear Charlotte, I am extremely sad to hear this news. Now it's the time for you to spend as much time with your family, as you said. This moment is extremely important, and I believe life issues test us more than what an MA programme can do. I deferred my course too. It was just not the right time and now I confirm that was the case, having seen how things in my personal life evolved. Please rest reassured you are taking the right decision! A very big hug

  I hope you are getting on well with your studies. I am struggling with writing these blog posts. With the lack of interaction from colleagues and supervisors, it feels a bit pointless and disheartening sometimes. I suppose that is my ego taking over and my need to be externally validated. When really I suppose this is just another external output for our internal processes throughout this MA journey. As I head through Module 2 I must admit I am struggling with knowing the difference between all of the different submissions. The meaning making model, drawing on our past and present learning and practice. The title award rationale, just seems to be like a smaller version and the full essay. I can't help but have similar information and citations in them. Is anyone else feeling the same? I'm not sure if it's because by the time I've finished a full day and attempted a certain amount of reading before looking into the work, my mind is just gone by the time I get to it, bu...

Sunday Night's Discussion continued

 So, let's try and see if we can eloquently convey the outcome of the discussion.  Information, Learning and Knowledge. What's the difference? When do they happen? Well after listening to everyone and inputting my own thoughts on the matter, I've come up with this.....for the moment. I believe that we receive information as the learner, we digest that information through the "filter of our own experience" (as quoted by Christopher Moore in the discussion) and the knowledge is then the  "factual information" (as quoted by Leroy in the discussion) and the way in which we transfer this to the next learner and the different vocabulary that we use to communicate this. I feel the learning never stops as we discover new ways of sharing this information and adapting it to the next learner's own individual filter of experience. The internal cognitive process is the internal "filter of our own experience". For example, if I was to ask a student t...
