FT Student Progress Tutorials

Hi Everyone,

All full-time MSc students are required to attend a face-to-face Progress Tutorial this term. The purpose of the tutorial is to:

1. Review your marks and discuss any potential academic issues
2. Review your attendance at lectures – and general engagement (e.g attendance at departmental research seminars and other events)
3. Determine if we will let you go on placement during your project dissertation – or if it would be better for you to undertake a ‘traditional’ MSc project on campus
4. Discuss and hopefully ascertain your preferred choice of MSc dissertation project topic
5. Review your career aspirations, and see what you need to achieve in order to meet them

The tutorial will take place either with myself, or Dr Kosta Tzoulas – the schedule of slots allocated to each of you is available to download >HERE< as a PDF document (and emailed to you as a Word Document).

All these tutorials will take place on Wednesday 6th February – in the morning, between 9am and 11:40am. Please make arrangements to attend your designated slot in the next couple of weeks to ensure you attend. Please also arrive slightly early, so you can start your slot on time – we cannot afford to run over as you all have a lecture at 12pm. Your tutorial will last for 20 minutes.

Please note that one of the key issues to be discussed is your preferred MSc project dissertation topic. You need to spend some time thinking about this over the next couple of weeks as it determines who we allocate to supervise you (we try and match a staff member with a similar research area) and it will help with the process of finding a placement (if you wish to go on placement – which is optional).

We look forward to seeing you on the 6th.

Mark
