The structure and delivery of this paper is designed using flipped principles and is offered using FLEXI mode.

The flipped element involves two two-hour seminar-styled lectures per week supported by weekly preparation activities and readings that provide important contextual background information to support the lectures.

Seminar-styled lecture: The seminar-styled lectures combine activities, information sharing (e.g., PowerPoint) and student-based discussions. These lectures are interactive and attendance is highly recommended. Lecture notes will be available via Moodle before class; you will find these in the associated Moodle Block. Please bring your own devices to access online resources during lectures.

Preparation Activities: The lecture preparation activities are posted in Moodle within each Lecture Block.

Readings: Weekly readings are linked in the Moodle topic blocks that have been selected to help students make sense of lecture material. In addition, an extensive list of readings is available via the library course Reading List. These readings are arranged by topic. You are not expected to read all the articles in the Library Reading List, but you may find some personally interesting and/or useful for assignments. You may also like to allocate an additional reading from the list to each class member, to enrich class discussions. In addition to prescribed readings, students need to self-source material for the assignments. The Library Reading List can be found below:

The FLEXI mode means that some aspects of this paper can be completed online if you so choose. For those taking the paper online, please note there are some elements (outlined below) that require you to be online at specified times:

• Lectures: Lectures will be run synchronously, if you are not on campus then you will be expected to attend via Zoom at the same time.
• Office Hours: Office hours are available in person or via Zoom (please refer to Moodle for the office hours and office hours zoom link).
• Assessments: All assessments are submitted online.

The written assessments are designed to develop your understanding of topics beyond what is presented in the lecture. This means that you must reference appropriate material. At the senior undergraduate level, paraphrasing lecture discussions or referencing lecture notes (e.g.,PowerPoint slides) are deemed inappropriate references and typically attract low to failing grades.

Please refer to the general guidelines on how to achieve grades later in the course outline and the specific assessment rubrics on Moodle when developing your assignments and reviewing your feedback on assignments.

All written assessments are online submit via Moodle. You will find written feedback by going to your returned assignments. General feedback relating to the themes evident across all assignments will be posted to Moodle.

Lecture notes will be available through Moodle before the lectures.

As a 15 point paper, it is expected that students dedicate approximately 150 hours to the course over the semester; as a G Semester programme this time equates to 25 hours per week. This time has been taken in to account when selecting readings and setting assignments. Thus the time spent on the course should be divided between attending the lectures (six hours per week), with the remaining time dedicated to course readings (approximately 4 hours per week) and assignments. As this is a taught course delivered via FLEXI Mode, it is expected that you attend lectures.
