Dear All,
Apologies for the delay but there are still some outstanding venues to be allocated for the classes. I checked again this morning and attempted to light a few firecrackers and if all goes well I should have a final timetable by tomorrow. Please keep checking the blog as a number of NB messages have and will be posted in the next few days.
The Psychoanalytic Theory course has moved from thursday to wednesday. It will run from 10h15 to 12h15 for the first quarter.
Regards

Library Orientation - Note update
Hi All, Nicky has arranged the library orientation for thursday(8 Feb) afternoon. Please note that this is essential to your study and is a such compulsory. Reading is the most important skill you will learn this year.
Quote
Gill has already sent round a list (see attached) dividing the class into two sessions. I would then ask for the first session to come in from 14h00 to 15h15 (meeting in the Wartenweiler Library foyer at 13h55) and the second session to come in from 15h15 (meeting in the Wartenweiler Library Foyer at 15h15) until 16h30. Students would need to bring with them the library handout (one page double-sided) they received at orientation, although I will make spare copies available.
Thanks and sorry for the short notice,

Message from Gill
Hi All
I’ve had some queries regarding our classes.
Our classes will start on Friday 8 February. When we spoke in class on Monday (28 January), I said that you would be going to the library on Friday 8 February. The electronic classroom in the library is not available on Friday mornings. Nicky Israel will schedule this workshop for one afternoon next week, and she will inform the class. Thus, we will meet in your Honours room next Friday, 8 February, at 9 and 10.
Secondly, a number of you have contacted me to discuss research topics and supervision. I will be available in Monday 4 February between 9:30 and 12:00 for consultation. Please send, via e-mail, a description of the project that you are interested in and confirm a time for Monday, before Friday 1 February. I would suggest, given how busy academic staff are at the beginning of the year, that you think about sending such e-mails to staff who you are interested in working with.
Thirdly, I have forwarded the responses of your classmates to my questions. This is one of the many ways in which you communicate with both your classmates and me. I encourage you to respond.
Thanks
Gill
Hi All
I hope that you have started to think a little more about your selections of research topics and supervisors?
Did you find yesterday’s workshop helpful in any way? If so, in what ways do you think that our workshop helped you to understand this process more?
As we agreed upon in class, I have divided the class for our workshops. See attached document.
Thus, half of you will attend class at 9 AM and the other at 10AM. Please note that this arrangement may change before proposals are due and during the course of the year, e.g. we may divide the class on the basis of methodological frameworks. The idea is that Fridays are research days and you will be spending an hour of the morning in class.
Please let me know if there are any problems with the list, i.e. your name does not appear, I have spelled your name incorrectly, or you would prefer to be called by a different name. Please could Doron give me a full name.
Have a good week of topic and supervisor shopping! Remember to assess the merchandise fully before you commit yourself such a large amount of time and very hard work.
Thanks and please feel free to comment in any way

Friday's Orientation.
Hi All, Fridays Orientation will start at 8h45 in the Auditorium at the Umthomjeni Centre.
For those not in the know this used be the old education building (before that it was probably just the education building.) To get their go out the back of the umthombo building (the side with the ramp.) Cross over the road and turn right. The building in front and slightly to the left is the umthonjeni centre. If you go in via the the parking lot between Jan Smusts House and the UC you will walk straight into the auditorium. This is usually locked but I will open it for the orientation. If you are early or late you will have to go in the other side.

Start of 2008
Hi All,
The new year is upon us. My email and computer are once again functioning and I will be flooding the airwaves for the next few days. The year starts very early in 2008, so I will provide a quick outline of key dates.
Firstly there will be an orientation to the research aspects of the course running from Tuesday 22/1 to Thurs 24/1. Details can be found here.
We will have an orientation to the course on Friday 25/1 which will complete on Monday 28/1.
We will finalise topic choices for students in preparation for registration on Tuesday 29/1.
The remainder of the week aside form the usual university wide festivities will be used to finalise some key administrative issues and to begin the research process.
The first week of term will start on the 4th of Feb.
Regards
Mike G
