Many of you have now passed four of the assessments for the Communication Unit - two x reading assessments, one x discussion and one x presentation. The standard of work has been good overall and in some cases, excellent.
We have four assessments left, which are:
- Two listening assessments - one will be an individual TED presentation and one will be from a TV programme where more than one person speaks, with different viewpoints.
- Two writing assessments - one will be an essay topic of your choosing and the other will be a report integrated with the HIV, Hepatitis B and C brief your lecturer will be giving you. Both of our assessments are 650 words in length and for the report brief I will be giving you a structure to help you extend the version you give me as there are different word counts.
Week beginning
6/3 - reflect on presentation assessment, helpnotes on Listening, watching a practice TED presentation and class discussion afterwards.
13/3 - Give out transcript for presentation watched in class, look at questions, watch talk again, work in groups and provide sample answers afterwards (students and lecturer).
20/3 and 27/3 - Listening assessment (TED talk) with generic questions. Please bring laptops in for this session and earphones! You will have time in class to work on the assessment.
EASTER HOLIDAYS (I won't be marking anything over the holidays by the way!)
17/4 - 18th April or 20th April (depending on what class you are in) is the final deadline for the Listening assessment. There will be time in class to complete your answers if you have not finished by this date. You can either e mail me or submit your answers in person, either typed or handwritten.
24/4 - In this session I will go over report writing and essay writing and go over the assessments for both. Essay and report submission no later than week beginning 29th May.
1/5 - watching discussion programme in class, work in groups and look at generic questions. Sample answers given out again.
8/5 and 15/5 - time in class to do the listening assessment.
22/5 and 29/5 - time in class to work on assessments. Listening assessment also to be submitted no later than week beginning 29th May.
5/6 - first half of class reflecting on the Unit, your experience studying the Communication Unit and what you (we) have all learned from the experience. Second half of class will be for any remediation necessary.
12/6 - final class for any student who has work not completed at this time.
I will, as always, make sure that all students know which assessments have been passed before the final few classes and what work (if any) needs to be remediated, completed etc.
I hope that this schedule helps you all.
Mark
