QUESTIONS (1000 WORDS TOTAL +/- 10%)
Assessment instructions
Each module will include several discussion questions for you to apply the concepts from the readings and in-class discussions. These activities are for you to show your understanding of the key concepts in each module as your learning advances across the study period. The questions will ask you to describe or apply a unit concept covered in the module, and some may also ask for your opinion. You are expected to refer to the essential readings from that module in your response – therefore your submission should clearly demonstrate an application of the ideas in the readings to the concepts in the activity.
Three activities/questions will be randomly selected for marking (one per module) and individually will
contribute 10% of your overall mark. This means of all activities you complete, three will be marked to provide 30% of your final grade. It is therefore important that you submit answers for all discussion questions across the semester. Completing the activities by the end of each module allows the learnings to sink in and further reflection to occur between modules as you build your understanding over the study period.
While this form of writing is different to traditional essay or report writing you are still expected to write in full sentences, use a paragraph structure and include citations. You generally don’t need to do further research for your responses beyond the module readings. Therefore, a reference list at the end is not necessary but in-text citations within the response are (when referring to your essential readings).
Internal students will have an opportunity to discuss the module content and participate in activities to help with generating answers to these questions during the workshop. Online/OUA students will be able to discuss module content via the Discussion Board (link below). Please note that you must finalise your answers and submit these individually.
The answer must be from the attached articles and Module 2 workshop 3 and 4 only and no additional references are required.
