This document provides an agenda for a campus session on the Module 3 coursework for the BAPP degree. It outlines reviewing questions about student inquiries, discussing professional artefacts, writing critical review exercises, and receiving individual advice. Students are encouraged to blog and participate in social media discussions as part of the assessment. The critical review for Module 3 involves sections on the inquiry process, findings analysis, and critical reflection, and should be 4,000-5,000 words with evidence in appendices. Effective writing focuses the argument and uses examples and theories to support points. Peer exercises provide feedback on draft explanations.
This presentation has been used to guide workshops on research and academic writing conventions for upperclassman and first-year graduate students. However, it could be adapted for a first and second year student audience. The content is rich, emphasizing reflection, research/inquiry, as well as grammar. This material also demonstrates how to use new media as part of an overall research strategy. The presentation is designed to be presented interactively with writers across the disciplines, multilingual writers, and any writer unfamiliar with the academic writing process. The content is not linear, as many slides could be clipped and customized for integration into a first-year writing course, or even a session or workshop for graduate student writers of any classification.
This powerpoint is designed for graduate students interested in starting writing groups, as well as address some of the major issues facing these writers.
This presentation is for research writers, both advanced undergraduate writers and graduate students (even junior faculty needed writing support!). It assumes that the reader is familiar with the basic purpose of the literature review, and delves deeply into *how* the writer might compose this part of the research article. It also assumes that the technical features of this difficult genre are underestimated, and thereby approaches the literature review as a *drama.* Research writers should feel free to draw on the presentation for strategies that will enable them to articulate their understanding of how their research problem influences the way their field talks about and acts in regards to this problem. Specifically, an examination of grammar as code for drama is explored.
Essay writing is a major component of the university academic curriculum for many programs. Follow these tips to improve your academic writing skills to ensure your essay impress everyone.

A great deal of your time university will be spent thinking; thinking about what people have said,
what you have read, what you yourself are thinking and how your thinking has changed. It is
generally believed that the thinking process involves two aspects: reflective thinking and critical
thinking. They are not separate processes; rather, they are closely connected (Brookfield 1987).

Unit 4 Research CommunicationOVERVIEWStart where ycorbing9ttj
Unit 4: Research Communication
OVERVIEW
Start where you left off in part two of the Everyday Communication Unit, in which
you were asked to write a persuasive memo based on an idea you would like to see implemented in your job (e.g., a way to increase productivity, improve service, increase business, or improve working conditions).
For that assignment, you wrote a routine miscellaneous memo requesting action and persuading your audience that your idea is worthwhile.
Now, your audience – the person, people, department, etc. with the power to approve the project – has responded that they are intrigued and would like to begin a more formal process toward implementing your idea.
Planning Proposals are common in professional or corporate environments where supervisors may ask an employee to write up a project proposal before that project is launched. In this unit, your goal is to demonstrate to your audience that you are sufficiently prepared to undertake the process of working your way toward the final project with a good understanding of the background knowledge you will need to acquire and the work still to be done.
ASSIGNMENT
Part One: Project Proposal
Your Proposal should include the following:
-A
cover page
with the working title of your project, your name, and your instructor’s name. A title that identifies the issue/topic/problem/solution accurately and engages readers’ interests.
-An
abstract
that summarizes your project (approximately 100 words) acting as a brief description of the problem you will attempt to solve/address with the final project. The abstract must engage its identified audience – the person/group/agency with the power to effect the proposed change(s) or whose mind(s) must be changed – with the problem by presenting it clearly, and showing that it is interesting, problematic, and significant. The abstract also introduces the hypothesis: the plan you intend to propose.
-A
purpose statement
with your rationale for the project. Why is this project important to you?
-A
qualification statement
that explains the experience, preparation, and special qualities you bring to the project.
Part Two: Progress Report Memo
Along the way, you will report to your audience by submitting a memo that informs on your progress. The purpose of this memo is to give an update on the work being done while also piquing the audience’s interest in said work.
Part Three: Annotated Bibliography
For this part of the assignment you will conduct research and write an Annotated Bibliography to support your proposal. With this annotated bibliography, your goal is to demonstrate to your readers that you are sufficiently prepared to undertake the process of working your way toward the final project with a good understanding of the issue, background knowledge you will need to acquire, and the work still to be done.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. Introduction
• This is the 4th week of the semester (12 weeks total) -
schedule the work for BAPP (Arts)
• Engagement and negotiating the time and resources at
work needed to complete the coursework – this is part of the
learning process that you can talk about in your reflection
• Use the blogs and SIGs – it is part of the assessment
4.
5. Reviewing questions about the Inquiry
Going over the process with your adviser helps clarify
what you need to do.
How does your inquiry relate to your inquiry plan? There
should be some relationship – there could be changes –
explain them in your writing.
Getting feedback from your peers by sharing in SIGs and
blogging about your inquiry process. THIS IS IN THE
ASSESSMENT FOR MODULE 3. Suggestions… see the
next slide…
Deadlines for drafts – look at the Addendum Page.
Feedback will help you prepare your thinking through
issues in the inquiry
6. BLOG AND SIG activity
Suggestions for blog titles blog through out the semester:
• Commentary on discussions with your peers on the BAPP (Arts)
programme
• A conversation with professional externals to the BAPP (Arts)
network – put up their thoughts or have them comment
• Thoughts about your artefact – what is it and who is your audience
– is is a product or a work in progress?
• Summary of your main project findings in 100 words or less,
what do you think is the main benefit of your findings
• Reflections on working collaboratively using social media
• Critical reflection on your learning across the BAPP (Arts) course.
• Thoughts and plans for your oral presentation
7. The professional artefact is a product or a work in progress that relates to
what you found out during your inquiry. It is not an add on but an integral
part of what you have learned about during the degree.
Look at the blogs from earlier Module 3 BAPP students to give you an
idea for the type of thing you might consider. Ideas for the type of artefact
include posters, PowerPoints (with still and/or moving
images), books, DVDs.
You may want to write a summary explanation to accompany the
artefact as this will spell out the purpose and function of this piece
of work and clearly identify the audience.
8. Natalie produced a book that
explained her the approach that
she was taking to a new taster tape
for a presenting career pathway.
The audience was other BAPP
students/performers – she also
presented the new taster tape.
9. At this point, it might be good to identify the professional
audience for whom you want to produce the artefact.
Who is taking part in your inquiry? How can you share your
knowledge with them in terms of an object?
How will you share or disseminate your object – is there a digital
version that can be shared through social media?
What can you show that might benefit your career progression or
bring other people a better understanding of what you do in your
professional practice?
10. Try an exercise – take a sheet of A4 paper and draw out
who your audience might be… The artefact should be
designed with them in mind. You may have several
options when you apply this to the context of your own
inquiry. How can you share your practice in your
workplace or with you community of practice?
11. Final Module 3 Assessment
Part 1: The Critical Review
It is primarily written (with illustrations if appropriate) using the 4
main Headings provided in the Module 3 Handbook
The writing style is one of reportage with some essay elements.
In the critical review, you need to explain what ideas you have
explored in the context of your inquiry (your practitioner research)
and activities such as workshops or professional engagements.
The ideas from your literature, concepts that you have
used, should also be defined so that others can follow your point of
view. The ‘writing’ will be similar to how you would verbally explain
your inquiry ‘project’ work to others…
Think about conventions from your profession and vocabulary –
get your tacit knowledge of what you do into the written language.
12. Writing with style and purpose
Shaping the writing according to your needs will be
important in explaining the knowledge you have
gained from doing your inquiry…
Chapter II Elementary Principles of Compositions
A basic structural design underlies every kind of
writing. The writer will in part follow this design, in
part deviate from it, according to his (sic) skills, his
(sic) needs, and the unexpected events that
accompany the act of composition. Writing to be
effective, must follow closely the thoughts of the
writer, but not necessarily in the order in which
those thoughts occur.
Strunk and White (1959) The Elements of Style
13. Effective Writing Exercise
Discussion points – the writing in the critical review is
similar to reportage so should explain all the key
points using detail and examples
Make the writing interesting for others to read. If your
practice is something you are passionate
about, your descriptions and analysis of the thinking
and events should show this.
Discuss drafting the ‘thinking’ or ‘theoretical’ points that
you have explored for your inquiry with others via
your blog. You will be sending off a written draft to
your adviser – it may take several drafts before you
have said what you want/need to say.
Use ideas and theories from your literature to underpin
your arguments or explain your findings.
14. Effective Writing Exercise
John Berger (1977) Ways of Seeing, British Broadcasting Service, p. 10.
Read this sample of writing from Berger out loud to yourself…
Images were first made to conjure up the appearances of something that was
absent. Gradually it became evident that an image could outlast what it
represented; it then showed how something or somebody had once looked – and
thus by implication how the subject had been seen by other people. Later still the
specific vision of the image-maker was also recognised as part of the records…
No other kind of relic or text from the past can offer such direct testimony about
the work which surrounded other people at other times. In this respect images
are more precise and richer than literature. To say this is not to deny the
expressive or imaginative quality of art, treating it as mere documentary
evidence; the more imaginative the work, the more profoundly it allows us to
share the artist’s experience of the visible.
15. Effective Writing Exercise
Berger’s argument is quite specific… what is it? What
main points is he bringing out? That images are
important to communication?
Reading aloud what has been written is a good way to understand it.
This can be done with your own writing…
Ideas about this do not always come out in an orderly fashion – but your
job is to reorder them (like Strunk and White suggest) to make sense of
the argument.
In you own drafting and editing processes – reordering and
‘shaping’ the text strives to make it more meaningful and more
concise.
16. Effective Writing
Strunk and White example on the issue of wordiness (1959, p. 19)
Macbeth was very ambitious. This led him to wish to become king of
Scotland. The witches told him that this wish of his would come true. The
kind of Scotland at this time was Duncan. Encouraged by his
wife, Macbeth murdered Duncan. He was thus enabled to succeed
Duncan. He was thus enabled to succeed Duncan as king. (51 words)
Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth achieved his ambition and realized the
prediction of the witches by murdering Duncan and becoming king of
Scotland in his place. (26 words)
17. Part 1: A Critical Review
• Introduction - relevant to the context of the inquiry and how it
relates to your workplace or community of practice
• Evaluation of the Inquiry Process - practitioner research tools
used (observation, surveys, interviews, focus groups), the literature
review, the ethical implications and other activities undertaken as a
part of the process (e.g. performances, workshops, trying out new
strategies, etc.)
• Analysis: your findings (what you found out from the data you
gathered) and your analysis of the findings compared to your
literature and earlier perceptions of the topic, conclusion of this
stage, what implications/benefits/impact did your inquiry have? Did
you conduct any activities/events/interventions that used what you
found out in your practice?, and possible further inquiry topics…
• Critical Reflection - a critical self-analysis of the learning journey
based on your learning journal
18. Thinking it through group exercises
• In groups - listen to the accounts of someone’s Introduction and
Evaluation of the Inquiry.
• Take notes that concentrate on key words about what the person is
saying - help them decide what elements of their explanation are
significant. Key words are also good when considering literature and
analysis as subject knowledge (i.e. dance or graphic design) and
key words like ‘confidence’ or ‘inclusive’ need to be defined.
• Doing this oral exercise will mean that you have started to draft your
critical review through an oral process.
19. The Critical Review structure
• Title Page
• Introduction – 500 words Indicative
• Evaluation of the Inquiry Process – 2500 words
• Analysis of the Findings – 2500 words
• Critical Reflection – 500 words
• Bibliography and Appendices
• Supporting Evidence could consist of appendices
including: blog texts, visual evidence, blank consent form,
blank questionnaires, interview questions, observation grids,
etc. Please note: each appendix should be cited (e.g.
Appendix 1) in the Critical Review. Any online materials
must be accessible (compatible format) or available for
download (dated prior to submission date). A digital version
of this document should be sent to the WBL Administrator,
with your Academic Adviser cc’d.
20. Date for submitting this semester
Submission by 14th May 2012 – paper copy posted to Avni Shah at
the Trent Park campus and a digital version sent to the new
BAPP@mdx.ac.uk address. DO NOT SEND TO AVNI.
This is for the Critical Review and Professional Artefact as the Oral
Presentations will be due the 28th May 2012 to be attended by
advisers and BAPP (Arts) peers – you can ask for an am or pm slot
(if this is not possible – you need to discuss this with your academic adviser so that they
can help you decide on the best course of action)
Digital Submissions: Refer to the module handbooks and/or Addendum sheet
for any specific assessment criteria – send by midnight on the 14th May.
Please label these with your name and module code when sent as attachments.
Also make sure these are in a readable format (like Word).
21. Plenary
Final points…
Blogging and using SIGs are a part of the assessment for the course and
the learning strategies you are developing through your interaction with the
BAPP (Arts) network. The act of sharing, receiving and giving, discussion
commentary with your peers is important.
See Adesola’s Oct 2011 blog about the artefact.
A 4th Campus Session has been requested for after Easter - date TBC
The critical review is a more structured reporting of the professional
inquiry, but it should be written to present a lively critical argument about
your topic and point of view. Because it is reporting on primary ‘research’
or inquiry, it has certain conventions that are spelled out in the handbook.
