Requirements for Journal/Diary Entries:

You will need to keep a regular reflective journal/diary on your experiences of, and feelings about the weekly sessions. This should be done on a single word document as below. Each journal/diary entry should be based on both the lecture and workshop, dated, and state the topic, as in the example below: Week 2a Tuesday 23rd & Friday 26th August 2022 Topic: Communication Skills: ‘Seminars and Discussions’

The minimum number of journal entries for submission is 6 (i.e., 1 per week for each week of the module) in order to show progress. The maximum is 12, and 8 or 9 would be normal out of a possible

12. (Doing 12 gives you more to choose from at the end as it is likely you will have more to say in some entries than others). Guidance and suggestions on how to structure your journal entries so they cover the requirements will be given in the first session.
