The end of the course is about finalising my dissertation, creative works as I get ready for assessment and on reflection based on feedback feedback received.

I submitted final draft of dissertation with an abstract and also my self-directed and external project outcomes.

As much of the work for this assignment is covered elsewhere in my blog such as the dissertation page and pages showing my creative works and thoughts, I thought I would offer some general reflection on this unit and on how what I ask or expect of my work is changing.

I came into 3.2 thinking it would be the same as 3.1 and that my exploration of my chosen subject would continue in the same manner with me researching whatever interested me in a broad exploration of my topic. However, as I have worked on 3.2, my research and practical works have more depths as I focus in on the heart of my project. Having seen this sea change between 3.1 and 3.2, I now expect 3.3 to have a similar leap forwards and to be busy for final year of this degree. Within that I am expecting more external engagement, creative works, research and more. I suppose, in this general reflection, I can say that I have been enjoying this latter part of the course. It is much more involved and interesting than the level 1 units. I am starting to wonder about what will come after 3.3. A tutor said that many go forwards with study as they enjoy the structure around learning as opposed to being left to set their own aims in outside world. I have thought about this and wonder whether I will have time off before making a decision or whether to throw myself into new works or extensions of my current work or to sign up for a Masters. Maybe the outcomes from 3.3 will provide some direction and answers. All in all an exciting time.
