I handed in my Portfolio (Post Grad Cert in HE)
My year as a student has ended! I handed in my portfolio of evidence for my Post Grad Certificate in Higher Education in Art and Design
Now that I have handed it in - I wish I had had the time to put more effort in - I enjoyed the experience of being a learner again - but very difficult to do this and my many jobs.
I was told we only got told whether we passed, failed or got a distinction and as I was too busy to be realistic about a distinction this meant too much extra effort a bad idea but on handing it in I was told that this year they are giving marks.
To be honest I would really like a distinction but, realistically its not going to happen. But I would be delighted!
Was it worth doing? Yes, I now feel I know much more about the pedagogy of Higher Education, and do think I have taken on board the idea of becoming a 'reflective practitioner'.
On the other hand I feel like celebrating by destroying my copy of Biggs ' Teaching for quality learning at University' - such a terrible book so badly written, and argued - so very unacademic, and so uninterested in theory.
They should not have foisted it upon us.
