Online Support
This is a fully online paper and Moodle is the primary online support system for this paper. Students are expected to engage with the required reading(s) and utilise the material available on Moodle for each topic.
Video clips, links to useful websites and news stories, and other helpful material will be placed on Moodle.
If a notice is sent out via Moodle, it is assumed you will have received it. If material is placed on Moodle, it is assumed you have access to it. If, for any reason, you are unable to access Moodle, please advice Juan so that alternative arrangements can be made until you do have access to Moodle.
Students are expected to utilise the material available on Moodle, but must also undertake the independent research to locate further appropriate material for assessments and other aspects of the paper. Reading a range of academic material relevant to the topic is crucial to adequately complete any assignment.
Workload
This paper is worth 15 points. That implies that students will devote a minimum of 150 ‘learning hours’ to the paper. A full semester workload is 60 points. Therefore, students taking this course must expect to undertake a workload equivalent of around 25% of a full time load for one semester; that is about 10 hours a week for the whole semester (i.e. through to the end of study week). Assessment will be based on the assumption that students have devoted a minimum of 150 hours to the paper.
