Strike on Thursday 21st March 2019 and assessment update / review

Hello all,

Just to let you know that a resolution could not be met at the latest negotiation meeting between our Union representatives and Colleges Scotland.

I will therefore not be in College this Thursday as I will be on strike and will not be able to reply to any e mails on 21st March at any point of the day I'm afraid. As per previous strike days where you don't have a Lecturer, it is my understanding that you will automatically all be given an authorised absence for my class that day.

So, the submission date for both the Essay (Writing) and Parkinson's (Listening) assessments is now extended by a day to Friday 22nd March, no later please.

The work submitted has been of very good quality and where remediation has been needed, this has been attended to quickly and efficiently, so well done to all members of the class who have passed both of the aforementioned assessments at this stage, bravo. The range and depth of the topics chosen for the essays has been impressive and I have genuinely enjoyed reading your thoughts on the respective subject matter.

With three days until submission, all but four members of the class have passed the essay already and eleven of the group have been successful with the Listening task to this point.

Well done all and I will turn around the marking within a week of receipt as always.

All the best and I will see you all as a full class on Thursday 28th March, where I will show the second Listening assessment for the first time.

Cheers,

Mark
