Day 7

Today is day 7 of the MINE programme; today the FIN'S, MALTESE, ITALIANS AND us the UK students once again met up to disscus the final presenation for this project, we came up with a numerous of ideas and discussed what we want to present and how. As a group most of us have stressed out and worried about the outcome of this programme. Today we also went in the computer room that was booked by Kathy Wilson, Thanks for that. We utilised it and put our ideas together. It can only get better so lets hope for the best. Have a good evening and ill see you all tomorow morning.

Day 4

Here are some images from day 4:

Day 4:

I know that today is day 6 but I did not have enough time on day 4 so here it is:

On our fourth day we disscussed the Learning therioes, I do think that it was a good idea as it got us to work together and share ideas howerever, it took our eye from the ball because we did not discuss much about the Final presentation and what is expected from us and I remeber being slightly anxious about it, I think I should be Anxious Alexis LOL.......

On day 4 we also got put in different country groups and shared our past experiences and our anxieties and fears when it comes to assessments let alone being an erasmus student. Once we all presented in our groups of 3 & 4 we relised that we came up with a list of things that can be improved on. The mentors also identified issues and we spoke about how to improve them or work around different issues. In my group we talked about our negative experinces and positive, we discussed a number of things from what mentors expected of us to understanding diversity and the standards which is expected.

I have learnt that we are all assessed as students and we share a list of similarities in the different countries. I hope that all the work we are doing for this programme is gone to good use and is used for the future students. I do hope they will understand our aim and pray they wont be confused as we are.

Day 6

Today we once again meet up in 'the barn', when I say we I mean the Maltese, the Italians, the Finnish and the MDX students and our metors, educators and lectures.
We went in our usual different country groups and dissused the topics that we will focus on for the final. As a group we managed to device our selves into five topic groups which are:

• Hospital & Wards
• Links i.e. resources, buddies, networking between mentor and student etc
• Mentor and Assessments
• Environment
• Laws & Systems

In this idea of ours we must include an introduction to each country, images, video footage, links/contacts and visual images of our mentors & peers for the future ERASMUMS students, this will give the student an indication of where there going and what to expect. We will also disscuss the similarities we share and have a secure website so that individuals from the public can not access it unless needed e.g. when we added the MINE programme Alex Chapman had to agree/accept our request.

My topic is Environment, I look foward to seeing what information and ideas I come up with; this will then go on to our soon to creat website and inform the future ERASMUS students of what to expect and maybe anwser some of their questions.

Day 3 of the mine programme

We went to the hunterian museum, I was amazed by John Hunter's work, I also watched a brain tumour being removed and was wowed. I find this programme very informative especially being that I am an ERASMUS student and will being travelling to Malta this sept. We also went for a traditional dinner 'Fish & Chips'. Here is a footage :

Although it took me a while to find the place it was very sociable, today I found out that time flies....
