How to contact me

My e mail address is Mark.Hetherington@nclan.ac.uk and this will be the best way to contact me.

I guess this year is going to be different for sure, but let's see what we can achieve together.

I will post the 8 assessments PP either on here or on your Moodle page (if I can get access to it) - update, this is now there (24/8/21).

The blog will be used to add some interesting news articles, discuss what we have been doing and really to reflect. That is the plan at least...

Welcome to Communication (NC) with Mark

Hello everybody and welcome to your blog! You will be studying NC Communication (FA1W 12) with me. I'm sure we will have a few laughs over the course of the year, share experiences and I aim to learn from you guys too! The course attempts to develop your communication skills in reading, writing, talking and listening. There are quite a few assessments, but all of them come back to these basic, but important, skills. Furthermore, given the nature of the course, and the high calibre of the student, we like to stretch you a bit. The first session will be about getting to know you and giving an overview to the programme of study. You are all in safe hands though as I have taught this Unit for many years and have worked with Access students for many years and will always work WITH you. This commitment must be two way though. That is how we will be in a good place to achieve the outcomes. I hope you enjoy the year working with me, the highs, the lows, the feedback, the (online) class activities. Early June isn't THAT far away really is it? Come and say hello below and let me know how your first week has been so far. The blog is for all of us. Mark
