Bad Mood
Dear Ruby,
The bad mood may have been a pretend one but the content of what I said today in class was very important. I want you to produce the best essay that you possibly can and one way to do this is to make changes to your essay based on the comments Andy made about your draft.
If you don't make any changes to your draft, at best you can expect the same mark as your draft but more likely scenario is that you will get a lower mark. I don't want that to happen and I'm sure that you don't either.
So, MAKE THE CHANGES.
See you all tomorrow

Decision Time
As the saying goes
No more prevaricating around the bush
Time to make a decision - what exactly are you going to include in your essay. You've had time to think about it and now you need to start making some decisions. What information do you want to include in your essay? What essay structure are you going to follow?
It's time to decide!!! Make the decision and stick with it for the moment.
Enjoy!!

Work, work, work
Hi,
Some of you are finding this month full of pressure with lots of work to do. This is just a taster of what you will be facing on your Masters. There will be weeks in which you have 3 presentations, an in-class test and an essay due all in the same week.
Time management is crucial. Don't leave things to the last minute. Work steadily doing a bit everyday.

Drafts
Hi Ruby,
On Friday I would like you to bring in a draft of your essay/outline.
The minimum requirement is a couple of paragraphs - it doesn't matter if the paragraphs come from the introduction, main body or conclusion.
The more material that you can give on Friday the more feedback you will get.
Remember that drafts can be changed and it is a good chance for you to see if you are heading in the right direction.
Enjoy!

Self-study Blogs
Dear Ruby,
I'm a little bit worried. I've added myself as a follower to most of your blogs now and I've noticed that some of them have not been updated for a very long time. I hope that if you are not putting your self-study onto your blog that you are doing a paper version. If you aren't doing either of these things then you are going to be in VERY big trouble in a couple of weeks.
REMEMBER THAT YOUR SELF STUDY IS PART OF YOUR ASSESSMENT.
So get blogging/self-studying please.
For those of you who have been doing something, please ignore this.

Essay
As the first draft of your essay is due next Friday, I suggest that you start thinking about what you want to include in your essay. Globalisation is a HUGE topic area and it will be impossible to go into detail in all areas. Therefore you will have to be selective and choose the MAIN effects of globalistion for your essay (as the question says).
With regards to the essay, the more you can give me next week the more advice I will be able to give you. Don't forget what you learnt in the previous months - it is still RELEVANT.
Enjoy!!

January's self study
Hey Ruby,
It's time to get going on your self study again. By Friday I would like those of you who have a blog to post your definition of globalisation.
I'd also like to see you post at least one of the fifteen tasks from the booklet.
Remember that self study is part of your assessment so if you don't do it, I can't give you a grade for it.
See you tomorrow
