4b The Pre-summer vacation conversation
a chance to raise any issues before the schools break for summer holidays
Dear All,
I thought this might be a good chance for anyone to raise any questions in here (no matter how small) just before the final bell rings and the school doors close for the summer vacation ?
I know only too well how everyone must be feeling as the last day approaches :-) I looked forward to it many many times and you'll all deserve a good break...so wherever you are going and whatever you will be doing please ''enjoy''
This summer vacation will be an excellent time to get the hard reading done for the critical litertaure review (a hugely important and integral part of your research work) We will be in here logging on and checking conversations and threads but take the time to enjoy classroom free weeks and get busy with the review - once done and out of the way we can all re-convene in Sept and then begin the exciting part of putting the research into place once your background reading and review is complete.
If there are any questions at this point please use the conversation below.
Have a great summer.
Hamish & Sue


Can I make a plea ?
Once this is set up on all your documentation and submitted work it allows us to recognise who, what and when this work has been sent. I was reading through some plans passed on to me just recently and my own system is to save into directories - if the work has no name, student number and title in the header and footer.......for me personally it is almost impossible to know who it's from.
Its rather like collecting work in from the kids in class but without any recogniseable features - in school of course we can deduce by things like handwriting etc. markers however don't have that luxury and wont spend time to figure out who ar where they came from - simply cast them aside and mark them as 'unknown'
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep all your work organised by this simple rule.
Headers can contain student name (can be removed later for final submission as SID numbers are only needed for final submission)
Footers can be used effectively for labeling page numbers, group which you are in, plan or document name'
Here is a link if you are unsure of how to use headers and footers
