At the start of the course, you will choose a topic of interest from a list of options. You will research the topic using a variety of sources including scientific reports and put together a short news-style report on the topic in draft format (this may be a short print article, web article, video, podcast etc.) [To be submitted at the end of week 1].

You will then review two drafts from your peers, providing constructive criticism. [To be submitted at the end of week 2]

Finally, you will be given the opportunity to edit your initial draft based on feedback from your reviewers. [To be submitted by the end of the course].

Grades will be based on your final article (7.5% of overall mark) and on your reviewer comments (7.5% of overall mark).
