Overall Feedback:
Dear Ian
I am sorry that we are not able to speak today, but I have completed the written report below. As you are still adding to the work on your blog for assignment 5, I thought I would focus this report more on assessment related topics as this assignment is not yet complete.
If you do have questions, please do get in touch. I am hoping that we will get to speak before or on 2nd December. However, if that is not possible, do send me any questions/points you would like me to look as part of the feedback for assignment 6. This is technically the pre-assessment feedback session – however we can focus this feedback more on the work for Assignment 5.

They are posted here on OCA Learn:
In the previous feedback I posted details of assessment times and dates.
I would advise getting everything uploaded a few days prior to the final deadline. This will allow a few days grace if you have any issues/technical queries.
I would also advise ensuring that you make a checklist to work through, to ensure that you have submitted all your work as per the requirements.
Assignment 3
Do make sure that your essay is formatted correctly. It must also be referenced correctly. These are the guidelines from the course:
Please adhere to the following guidelines:
Your essay should be 2,000 words, +/- 10% excluding quotes. [Amended 21/01/2021 - See PH5DIC Unit Error Record]
Include a cover page with the title and a word count, including and excluding quotations and any footnotes.
Include a cover page with the title and a word count, including and excluding quotations and any footnotes.
Include examples to illustrate your discussion and list your sources in a list of illustrations at the front of the essay.
Your essay should be fully referenced and include a bibliography at the end. Follow the guide to academic referencing on the student website.
Your essay should be in a standard font and 1.5 or double-line spaced.
You may include additional material (primary research, correspondence) within
appendices at the end if you wish.
Taken from:
All work for OCA should use Harvard referencing. Details are here (you need to be logged into the OU library to view this page):
If you select Harvard from the options, you can see how to reference any source material.
Assignment 5
As you explained in your email, you have changed tack on the assignment you were developing as part of assignment 4. When you come to complete your work for assessment, do ensure that there is a clear post outlining the decision making between completing the work for assignment 4 and the start of assignment 5.
From what is currently on your website, I can see 12 images, one for each month of the year. In each image there is an object placed in the hand.
As there is no explanation text to the objects the viewer is left to make up the story. Will you be adding text to explain? This could be an introduction to the piece – or maybe if you click on the image some text is revealed behind.
For the research on your blog, I realise there is more information to go in as it is work in progress. This obviously makes it hard to give detailed feedback and is something we can discuss in the next feedback.
