I hope your week is going well.
Through the Monday drop in zoom sessions, I pick up common questions and concerns the class have grappling with level 8 writing.
We do appreciate that the marking rubrics can be confusing - you need to really think about what the marker is wanting to read in your writing.
Moving from a reflective piece from the "I" position to an essay that is asking you to formulate an argument, present evidence to support the points raised in the argument and integrating your own experience (views) without using that "I" statement can be tricky.

This section is recognizing our cultural and social differences within the supervisory relationship.
I hope these tips may give you more guidance going forward.
