Preparation is important

peer feedback + self-evaluation

The course is built on completing assignments each class and working together on evaluating our work.

2. Nothing, it will be done automatically
3. We only get peer feedback

2. Press release proposal

Completion of all 3 formative assignments + the final press release are required to earn a grade though only the final press release is assessed for a numeric grade (the rest is pass/fail and the requirement in order to receive teacher feedback). Your English mark is 20% of the term 1 project grade.

• For each category, put a dot on the line towards the centre.
