Supervisory Meeting 2 for Nothando Ngwenya – 18 October 2006

Started with a brief feedback on what I have been doing so far- mainly collecting information, resources and reading on therapeutic writing.

Made a decision on the negotiated module I would do for PgCRM and settled for the Independent study module with 30credits. SHM58915-M.

It was finally agreed that instead of 2 essays for assessment I could complete:
1) conference paper (4000 – 5000 words)
2) Discussion reflection paper (2000 words)
3) PowerPoint Presentation

Discussion on the learning outcomes of the Module proposal form and hand in dates for committee approval.

Stella will e-mail details of the conference to check for deadlines and material content
Review of the dates for the hospice visits, so far we have one confirmed date and one tentative date:

Deadline for first draft of paper will be end of the month (provisional date – 2nd of November 2006)

The next meeting is on the 18th of October 2006 at 16:00pm
