29/3 log!

We started with a lecture - supervision changes:

• Can ask for 1 on 1 meetings with other supervisors.

• Can have a shared critical with another peer who has shared interests.

• We can request to join/swap crits - outside own group.

I have asked to change to Tara’s group and spoke to her and she is happy to have me but I have to wait for official confirmation that I will get later this week!

I then introduced my project to the group (Jon’s) and these are the notes/the feedback:
