Tutor report: This was a video meeting followed my written feedback:

There were 3 parts to our conversation:

1. ASSIGNMENT 6 PRE-ASSESSMENT

My tutor confirmed that:

• I had reworked my assignments well
• The feedback given has been amalgamated into the finished projects. 
• As I reworked each assignment the growth in my engagement with them is apparent.
• It is good how I have also reflected on the feedback given to me.
• The reworked essay was much improved on the draft.
• Though she considers that I began documentary well, my improvement during the course is obvious.

She suggested that:

• I ensure that I have explained fully why I have made the decisions during re-working that I have (for instance the choice of my final images in assignment 3).

ACTIONS:

Revisit all that I will submit and check that I have been explicit about the reasons for my decisions.

Complete the assignment 6 feedback template and send to tutor.

2. ASSESSMENT PREPARATION

• Appraise and present as if the work is an exhibition of my work that hasn’t been seen before.
• Don’t assume my Tutor will be an assessor.
• Consider using assignment 1 instead of assignment 2 for creative content and revisit to see if any of it is of use for my Los. Use ass 4 critical review for LO 2.

3.DISCUSSIONS ON PROGRESSING TO LEVEL 3:

My tutor gave me the link to the level2/3 groupwork on theory and practice on OCA learn as well as the level 3 forum link, which I will join when I can.

The progression meeting will either be with Ariadne or Dan Robinson. I should submit my photography for it (new and previous) and they will ask about my interests, currently:

• Landscape
• History
• Culture
• Working in a small defined location
• Different ways of seeing
• Layers – truth- time – context…….

I should consider what interests me photographically, in life, and what questions are there that I’d like to answer with my work, but not worry if I don’t have a defined idea yet for level 3, as its good to start out with a broad idea.

Level 3 is 2 units simultaneously:

Body of work – at different stages of development.

Contextual studies (dissertation part): this follows the body of work but is not the same, it contextualises it.

I asked about choosing a tutor and was told they will be recommended by what your interests are.

My reflections on this learning journey will be shared in my Overall course Reflection and Evaluation in my assessment material. This document can be found here: https://nkssite5.photo.blog/2021/07/31/assessment-course-reflection-and-evaluation/
