Assessment in four parts:
Part One: Discussion Forum (200 words)
All students are expected to regularly contribute to the discussion forums. At the end of the course, students will be asked to select one of their own posts from the academic forum contributions for this course and justify how this post added value to the discussion (no more than 200 words). An image of the post and a justification will be submitted for marking. The course lecturer will consider the quality of the submission in determining the final grade. Instructions for taking the image and some hints on what makes valuable addition to the conversation are in Academic Skills. I will share the discussion post in due course.
