The paper will be conducted through a mixture of interactive lectures (some pre-recorded), tutorials, and guest speaker experiences. There is a two-hour lecture each week, and students should also attend one two-hour tutorial per week (tutorials start in week 2). Please ensure you check the schedule as there may not be any tutorials in some weeks during the second part of the semester. Students will need to choose to attend either an online or a face-to-face tutorial. Lecture notes and recordings, tutorial notes, grading criteria for assignments and other documents will be available on Moodle. The convenor will remind students in class and by email/Moodle announcement when these are available.

Activities and assignments are designed to help you achieve the learning outcomes of this paper. Written assignments are to be submitted on Moodle unless otherwise notified under the assignment description. They will be passed through the antiplagiarism software “Turnitin” (see plagiarism section). To avoid plagiarism, you must not pass other people’s work off as your own without proper acknowledgement and appropriate referencing. In addition, you must not use assignments or parts of assignments assessed in other papers for credit in this paper. You cannot resubmit assignments from your past course work if you are repeating this paper. When you submit, please use a file name that gives the name of the assignment and your name. For example, Essay Joe Bloggs.docx would be a good file name. Please avoid strange characters in file names as the system may not be able to open the files and hence, we will not be able to mark your work.

Other important points to note:

Attendance and participation: This paper requires every student to actively participate in all activities. This means that you should attend lectures and tutorials. For your team project, other students in the class depend on you to fulfil your responsibilities as a team member and to be available for consultation and team meetings.

Communication and peer evaluation: Good communication and collaboration is essential in this course. In order to make sure every member contributes equally to the team's effort, you will be asked to assess your own contribution as well as that of your team members (see peer evaluation). This evaluation will have an impact on your report mark so it is in your interest to work as a team from the start and contribute and share the workload equally.

Lecture notes and resources such as extra readings or videos will be accessible from the paper Moodle page. More details will be given in class.

You are expected to attend one two-hour interactive face-to-face lecture and one two-hour tutorial every week (online or offline).

Please note: tutorials start in week 2 for this paper.

In addition, you are asked to read one or two readings every week to complement or reinforce what has been covered in class. You are also expected to spend about 2 hours a week outside class times to work on your individual and team assignments (this will vary depending on what needs to be achieved every week).
