Presentations - week 11 !!!
Last week we discussed having your assessed presentations in week 12 rather than 11, with the tutorials running the week before. I have now thought about this some more - and think that we should stay with the programme:
w.10: Rappel and Israa run their Learning Outcome sessions
w.11: Individual, assessed presentations (10%) - on your case study (9/10 mins MAX)
w.12: Peer and individual tutorials on your case study.
This arrangement allows me to give tailored one-to-one advice in week 12; especially necessary JUST IN CASE someone has missed the point or is going way off course.
Anyway - now you can hve your say!
