Testimonial for Michael
Ham
I have known Michael Ham in the capacity of
Placement Supervisor whilst Michael was a Frontrunner at De Montfort University
from June – September 2012 four hours
per week.
His
placement was entitled
Frontrunners is the University's internal placement
scheme which gives students the opportunity to undertake challenging employment
around campus and develop the higher-level skills necessary to compete for the
best graduate jobs. The scheme is open
to all De Montfort University students, offers on-the-job training, and is
paid. Placements offer students the opportunity to develop their employability
by taking part in exciting and meaningful work experience that also benefits
the University by enriching campus life. The expectation is that placements
offer a secure and supportive work environment with on-the-job training and a
high level of supervision and mentoring.
Michael supported the Midwifery Division to develop
their teaching and learning materials so that students have the opportunity to
learn in a more dynamic innovative way. He was involved in filming a range of
teaching events such as clinical skills, role play and interviews which are
used as electronic resources and within face to face teaching. The resources
had to meet Creative Commons Licenses so that they were able to be released as
open education resources. The project was a collaborative one between the
Midwifery Division and the School of Arts. See http://more.library.dmu.ac.uk
Michael worked extremely hard and professionally
throughout his placement. He completed all the work assigned to him to a good
standard. He sought advice and support as required and took on board
constructive criticism. He was flexible in his approach and was willing to
problem solve to meet the needs of the midwifery lecturer team and the drama
students. He worked alongside another Frontrunner and demonstrated cooperation
and team work. He willingly undertook additional work to ensure deadlines were
met when his partner left the placement for full time employment. He has no
sickness or absence during that period. He completed paperwork in a timely
fashion.
The result was over 34 pieces of high quality audio
visual material was released into the MORERepository which became live in
December 2012.

(QUOTES) - Quotes from previous clients I have produced video for.
“Mike Ham has volunteered as a videographer for
a DMU Square Mile Project; he produced an amazing promotion video for one of our Square
Mile projects --- Chinese Culture Exhibition. The video was really good, and
both the Square Mile Manger and staff liked it. The video was successfulas it attracted a lot of visitors to the
exhibition. During the filming, Mike was very professional, positive,
easily communicatedand had lots of good ideas. It was really good experience to work
with him”

Echo Hau – 2mile representative
“Mike helped Demon Theatre Society greatly when he made/shot a
promotional video for the society. He was helpful and responded well to criticism. He went above and beyond the call of
duty to create a video that greatly helped Demon Theatre's efforts with
advertising and raising awareness of the society and how it operates”

Isabel Lamb –

“AKakaAmazing”
“Mike volunteeredhis time to work on our Sexual Health film making project as part of
DMU’s Square Mile Project, which we started over a year ago. The project has
taken a great deal more time and effort than we originally anticipated and he
has been committed and professional all the way through. I have seen Mike’s confidence grow over the course
of this project and he has become an integral member of the group, and has been
great fun to work with too!”

Spicknell – Watershed Youth Centre Worker
“For me in full time work and 'mid life',having worked with Mike on a weekly basis for over a year,
one of his best features, unlike many of a similar age, is
his reliability and punctuality. As
a person he is a good communicator, can take
criticism without 'throwing a wobbly', and has a knack of turning
creative ideas into actuality. Outwardly, he has a calm exterior, but don't
mistake this for lethargy, as inside there is a good deal of steady 'pedalling'
going on - a person who doesn't panic is a real asset to any
team”
