Each week students will engage with a Moodle lesson devoted to that week's topic. (From Week 2, there will be a grade attached to the completion of these lessons.) In addition, there will either be a recorded mini-lecture available via Panopto providing further explanation regarding aspects of that week's topic, or a live Zoom session (also recorded and available via Panopto) providing an overview of one of the assessments. Students are encouraged to 'attend' the live version of this Zoom session so they can ask questions about any aspect of the relevant assessment that may be unclear.

Online tutorials will be held each week (starting in the second week of the trimester) - enrolments for these tutorials will be made available on Moodle close to the beginning of the trimester. Discussion in tutorials is encouraged, and students are welcome to either email or bring examples of popular culture that is relevant to the paper content to their online tutorials. Students who actively participate in their learning (attending Zoom sessions and tutorials, asking questions for clarification, and engaging in discussions) are likely to the most out of the paper.

Assessments will be covered in detail in the Zoom sessions and in tutorials, and students will be given significant guidance in undertaking the various pieces of coursework.

An Assessment Overview document will be provide via Moodle. Further detailed information regarding specific assessments will be made available via Moodle, and explanatory live Zoom sessions will be held regarding specific assessments. Students will have ample opportunity during these Zoom sessions and in the online tutorials to discuss and clarify the requirements for assessments. Students are strongly encouraged to share relevant resources and work together wherever helpful - for example, swapping drafts assessments to read etc.
Tutorials will include regular discussion of the assessments, developing relevant skills to complete these exercises, and workshopping various aspects of the assessments. Preparing for and actively participating in these sessions will help in achieving the best possible grade in the assessments.

Students are strongly encouraged to start working on their assessments well in advance of the due date, and to ask either Johanna or their tutor if there is any aspect of an assessment that is unclear. A full understanding of the requirements for specific assessments is a crucial part of successful completion of your work.
