Working Together
Support and Critique Group - you will be expected to have your project considered by your peer support group and you will participate in the support group to help others refine their project.
Working on-line
Working in a totally on-line environment can be challenging and it can be difficult to get feedback and responses from your peers. It is best if you work on your own rather than in a partnership, however, whilst the support group shown here highlights the face to face model with seats turned in real time working on-line does not preclude the idea of group support.
You will be encouraged to join an online collaborative group and the benefit gained by individual members will depend of the level of participation and contribution of each group member. Try not to be a 'virtual stalker' sitting in on conversations but contributing nothing. Everyone has something of value to say that others will benefit from so 'don't be shy'. Just follows the rules of netiquette. Your challenge, as an on-line participant, is to provide support and timely feedback based on the types of questions we have identified below.

Support and Critique Group
The purpose of this group of your peers is to provide a place where you can express your ideas and others can ask you questions about how you might research, expand, contain and write about it. It will happen in class or for on-line students on group space.
You will also be in a S & C group for your peers to help them with their project. There are Guidelines for this process as well as specific questions for each stage: 1) Use warm feedback and positive comments first; 2) Use cool feedback carefully and think about your expression (see video right for examples); 3) Listen when you should listen and speak/respond when you should speak/respond; and 4) BE SUPPORTIVE (You could be next). |
