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 2: 10/07/2009

in day two i have finished my research on the last 6 schools of the University which are respectively: Informatics, School of Computer Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities and Languages, Media, Arts and Design, Integrated Health and finally Law.After finishing my reserch of the Deans and Head of Departments's e-mails in order to obtain like this categorised lists of the post-grad students they have, i noticed some missing information on those schools home pages.1- for the School of Computer Sciences, the Dean's information is not available2- for Social Sicences, Humanities & languages, especially the Diplomatic Academic of London Department Mr Nabil Ayad the Head of Department has not displayed his e-mail address. in addition to that, the Head of Politics & International Relations has an e-mail address in Edinbrough University, no Westminster University e-mail address available. Lastly, no information shown about the head of Social & Historical Studies.3- for the Media, Arts and Design, except from the Dean Sally Feldman, the heads of the 4 Departments have not mentioned neither their names nor their contact e-mails4- in the Law School, there is one department's name remaining inactive, thus no information available about the staff.

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
