Half of the Journey: 28 Jul

Communicate as Team:
Latest pointers on full WR draft (due 5 Aug 5pm) have just been emailed to your respective team resource member(s). See me if their identities remain a mystery to you. Some mails have bounced because mailboxes are left idle or are choked full. Looks like our early sessions on doves, eagles and other car parts (remember?) emerging in team work have become reality- bites for some, by now. Do look forward to a 'lesson' on EQ, self-growth (yes, it happens esp in PW) and group dynamics II soon.
Technical Matters:
In your first and full WR draft, kindly include the following to aid my marking

1. Declaration of word count at the close of each chapter.

2. In cases where pictures or images are used, acknowledge where source is taken from. Ensure they appear in the bibliography as well under the following categories. Books
-Magazines
-Research Journals
-Newspapers
-Internet
-Other sources

This excludes materials taken or developed by the group under which you acknowledge the source as your own eg RJ 123 etc.

3. Use of foot notes is strictly for citation of sources. In cases where you REALLY feel the need elaborate a point or define a crucial theoretical term, ensure you do not exceed two attempts per chapter. Examiners are irritated by groups that abuse footnotes in desperate attempts to conserve words in main text.

By the way, every group has been assigned an official group number by MOE. Ensure you receive yours' by this week. Your group number may be cited as a (copyright) source to accompany any original materials (pictures, graphs or templates) developed by the team for use in WR.
