Assessment - Class Facilitation
Assignment Description:
Each week selected students will lead and facilitate discussions related to the selected readings. During the first class of semester, each student will be assigned a reading topic that they will facilitate during tutorial. Prior to the session, each student needs to identify and prepare a list of issues and/or concepts relevant to the readings that they can use to initiate discussion with the tutorial group. At the end of the discussion session, the facilitator will give a summary of the ideas or points covered in the discussion and identified by the participants. Therefore, participation in the tutorials is important for the other students and there is mark for attending the tutorials.
The major challenge associated with this assessment involves being a facilitator and leading discussion amongst students. All students should search for techniques that demonstrate how to act as a facilitator so as to promote group interaction, dynamics and discussion. There are many techniques that can be used- students should adopt one or even a combination of several to assist them in performing this role.
The mark allocation for this assessment:
- List of issues and/or concepts: Prior to the session, students should prepare and upload a list of issues and/or concepts in the Blackboard.
- Class facilitation: During the session, students will lead and facilitate discussions related to the selected readings.
- Tutorial attendance and active participation: Every session, students should attend the tutorial and have active participation in to those students who are facilitating (asking at least 4 questions or participate in the discussions overall the teaching period).
