Learning and Teaching Activities
For the online streams - seminars will be conducted on Zoom.
For the in-person streams - seminars will be conducted face-to-face on campus.
You cannot mix and match seminar groups as you will be placed in teams according to your registered seminar.
Registering in a seminar in your timetable is your commitment to attend every week:
You will need to commit to your timetable for the entire session (semester). 80% of your grade will depend on work done during seminars in teams. Your timetabled seminar slot is where you will be actively learning during class with your lecturer and your peers.
This unit cannot be completed asynchronously given that we are assessing the learning outcomes of Teamwork, Employability, and Global Issues.
If you are unable to commit to your weekly timetable - you are strongly advised to un-enroll from this unit.
You will be placed in teams, where scaffolded team tasks will be worked through during each week's seminar. These scaffolded tasks ultimately work towards your Capstone Project which is a highly-weighted assessment component.
In other words, non-attendance at seminars will jeopardise both your individual component and the group component of the Capstone Project.
You may have 1 or 2 absences from seminars during the session, which is fine so long as you let your team know about it, and commit to catching up with the team as soon as possible within a reasonable amount of time, and constantly communicate with your team to keep up-to-date.
Communicating and keeping up with your team during class and at least twice during the week is an expectation of this unit.
Team members will keep a record of your attendance and participation during seminars, and rate your participation during seminars. This will directly impact your own marks - as Teamwork is part of the marking rubrics used in this unit.
