How inclusive and frankly just nice to be able to view the #CALC25 slides in advance and not on Slideshare!

I guess if I did that, it would have to be on a 1-1 basis. How long would you allow for that?

Thanks Velda.

It sounds like today is the day to be kind to yourself. Breathe, relax, rest. The world will still keep turning. Academia will be there when you feel up to it.

I have now undertaken my first peer review. I tried to make sure I was constructive and gave examples from their text of areas where I thought they could tighten things up. I hope the person who reads it can tell that I respect their contribution.

Reviewer 3 commented that I relied too much on pre-2000 sources in the lit review. So naturally, I have analysed. Of the 51 sources cited, there were 2 sources pre-2000. One of them was John Dewey! I'm discussing educational theory. I cite the theorist and read the original text.

2/2 Reviewer 3 - Didn't think I needed to spend so much time on practitioner research in the lit review. Found the poetry confusing. Suggested I send out a survey. Or create a blueprint for a creative exercise.

Looking forward to hearing the wisdom of my mentor.
