day 6: managing my hampers

Today, after working on different alternatives in order to find a way to obtain the post-grad students names. i had the golden opportunity to have a meeting with Catherine, Mr Coakes, Dr Coakes and Mr Hussain who helped me in finding an alternative for my hamper.
Alternative:
-setting a wesite to be dispalyed by Mr Coakes my mentor, where a chat room for post grad is going to be open for those students to share their concerns ans ideas.
other breakthroughs:
- working on a website for PhD students and potential PhD students in order to be shown how to be mentored or become mentors.

day 4: 15/07/09

today, i tried to contact the Head of my Department in WBS in order to obtian more accurate information about the list of post grad students and their access. at the meantime, i planned the work to be done in case this list is accessible using three different alternatives. the first is to add in the personal level of chat setting an indicator of post-grad students after adding the list displayed by the heads.
The second is the add in the Chat icon, a new category for grouping post grad as it exists in chat rooms.
the third is to add in the setting menu a third choice of groups: post grad or others.
As i have not received an answer from the Head, i am working on the other idea of libraries connection by asking forst about the system used in each library.

day 3: 14/07/09

in order to have a mind mapping that helps me to spot the post grad students the research i made about the Heads of Departments needed to be shapened into diagrams that i worked on for a couple of hours.
problems:
-need help to get in touch with the heads of the other departments apart from WBS that i know
-how to obtain the missing information about the other Heads of Departments?

day 1: 9/07/09

I started working on my reseach of a way to make the recognition of post-grad students via mywestminster.ac.uk access possible without having to get through confidential information from students' database.for the first couple of hours, i checked 3 schools out of 9 existing in the university which are respectively: Westmister Business School, the School of Architecture and the built Environment and lastly Biosciences. Then, i made up a mapmind for the Heads of Departments names and e-mail addresses as my idea is to get in touch with the heads in order to obtain the name of the students who are registered in post-grad studies without transpassing security birdges
