Having read back your CIQ comments - it seems that most of you are happy to have lesson time to get going on your 3 unit assignment.
However, I don't feel that everyone used their time effectively last week. You essentially have 3 lessons left with me [I've been told since last week that half-term begins on 24th May]. The fact that planning, never mind shooting/editing, hasn't even begun is quite scary to me...filmmaking is also about time management! I'm also concerned that some of you are only just reading what you have to do! You are HE students now and independent study is a part of that.
Classroom behaviour - I was also disappointed that people think it's ok to just disappear and not say where they have been. If you don't want to be in the room, that's ok. Just let me know where you're going and why...but please have some respect. No one is making you stay in college.
I have delivered filmmaking sessions for, essentially, the entire year...and I can do the same tomorrow if you want me to? I'd be happy to do a little shooting/editing task but at this point of the assignment you should really be editing your assignment. I can talk about filmmaking all year if you want - let me know. Either way - I don't want people sitting around doing nothing.
I don't want to get on your backs...think about this and let's move forward.

Hi Mark, I'd like to work elsewhere tomorrow so I can focus on my work. I'll be in the canteen you can come check I'm working if you feel you need to. In regards to leaving class I'm not going to apologise for that as I asked you not to read out my unfinished work, it makes me very uncomfortable. I hope you will respect that in future to reduce incidents where students leave out of embarrassment. I wouldn't have thought at HE you would have to announce where you were going when you left class unless you were leaving college, it was never an issue at FE so long as you handed your work in. I may be behind with my work but it will be in on time. The respect issue works both ways, mocking your students is not going help. If you're going to laugh at them don't complain when they leave. Constructive criticism would be more effective and useful.
