Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:12)nic
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:13)so while we work on the topic we justify its selection.. sound awesome
gilbert: (18:13) Students are requested to contribute to the project minimum 500 words (of original text or ideas) in at least five weeks (5% each week) and submit a completed project (5%). Each student should keep copies and log of individual weekly contributions and submit it for assessment on the same day.
Scarlet: (18:13)yeah i got that - cheers!
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:13)BTW, what does she mean by on the same day?
gilbert: (18:13)exactly!
nicolaMac: (18:14)that is what we are doing everyweek and putting in our personal journals and entering word count into excel
gilbert: (18:14)i am confused about that
gilbert: (18:14)but do we submit the contributino for assessment each week? as in the same day we made the contribution or what?
nicolaMac: (18:14)we are contributing eg your contribution on toc gilbert counts as your 500
gilbert: (18:14)hmmm
nicolaMac: (18:14)we all have to contribute something every week which w have done by the skin of our chinny chin choins
Scarlet: (18:15)i would think on final submission
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:15)where do u keep ur journal nic... and do u share it with Lina weekly?
gilbert: (18:15)yep so nic u reckon we hand in everything at the end of it?
nicolaMac: (18:15)no we will all have to to give it in at the end as part of the last assignement when we have to give summary of our process
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:15)I see
gilbert: (18:15)hmm okok
nicolaMac: (18:16)assignment now - we contribute 500 words everyweek to building our guide
gilbert: (18:16)anywayz scar i noticed u didn't fill in the excel sheet... reminding ya! lol
nicolaMac: (18:16)next assignment we analyse our logs to look at our nuggets of information scripts etc
gilbert: (18:16)yep
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:16)thanks
nicolaMac: (18:16)last assignment we hand in personal logs we have kept /journal of our work
nicolaMac: (18:16)maybe last 2 are in one but in anycase those 2 processes

nicolaMac: (18:25)gilly seriously look at those 2 change management guides - will give you all the meat you need for your section
Scarlet: (18:25)well, we have already a conceptual model via ssm so not sure if we need to for each section
nicolaMac: (18:25)i seem to remember she said include other conceptual models
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:25)so one of us should do that for the whole section?
nicolaMac: (18:26)dont panic ahlam just start it - we are only doing one level remember ;-)
gilbert: (18:26)from what i remember what she means by conceptual model is basically the way we are doing teh change and that concept will emerge from us doing the 4 tasks
gilbert: (18:26)lets leave it till later?
nicolaMac: (18:26)yes
Scarlet: (18:26)ok
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:26)well. I should panic ahead of time rather that suffer anlaysi paralysis then ;)

nicolaMac: (18:28)cant do that not a logical moment to put it in
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:28)let's at least have this compormise .. have bullet point for the justification.. no need foe details (notes while u do the task?)
Ahlam Al Rawahi: (18:28)heheh
