A warm welcome to my new students
Digital Practices SCS6079 ✭ MA Digital Media & Society

I'm looking forward to meeting you all and working with you on your projects. While you will find all official material, timetable and guidelines in MUSE and Blackboard - this site is the main resource website for our module.

How you will learn and work on your project

Most weeks, I will give a lecture on a specific topic. The following workshop then puts our topic into context and we will work together on your project. I would encourage you to email me to ask for my advice, feedback or my help with any issues or concerns you may have.

Over the past few years, some of my students on this module have commented on the fact that they did not think it right to ask, and that they did not expect a reply or support via email from their teachers, going by their personal experiences. Please know that I believe that the only way you'll learn is by asking questions! By being curious and experimenting, by making mistakes and by asking for help and answers when you need them. Please don't be shy, or too polite, to talk to me, I can only help if you ask me :)
