Class Discussion Leadership (20%)

From week two onward, each class discussion will be lead by a small group of students, to be scheduled in week one. The discussion leaders' role is to facilitate a sensible engagement with the core texts and the topic for that week. This is not a presentation and students are not required to prepare a summary of the core texts. Students may approach this assessment in a variety of ways. This might involve preparing activities, gathering examples from outside of class, organising a debate or something else.

Discussion leaders are also required to submit a one page summary of their planned discussion points and/or activities before the seminar.

Participation (10%)

Each week students will be required to read assigned material to contribute effectively to class discussions. Participation will be marked according to established marking criteria that are made available to students at the beginning of semester.

Class discussion leadership and participation are both marked according to criteria made available to students at the beginning of term on the course Moodle site.
