We need to choose one or several new student representatives for BAPP (Arts) this year.

We are writing our own BAPP (Arts) feedback forms at the end of the Modules you take. The form will most likely be on Survey Monkey. We value feedback and have used your feedback in our planning of the new curriculum for BAPP (Arts).

Take a few moments to think about how you define success and the things you need to do to achieve it.

Jot these ideas down.You may want to think about them later in the day or next week… you might want to put them into your personal diary or on your public blog to share with others.
