I spent a good deal of time reading all the blog posts today and I sent each student individual feedback. I'm a small bit concerned that some students may not be fully clear on what what is expected of them. Hopefully the feedback will correct the situation and ensure they do will in this component of the assessment.
A number of issues arose more than once.
Some students didn't do what was asked of them in Week 02.
Many students are struggling with the requirement to use standard English and to get the spelling and grammar correct. We all do. As if to make the point, even the e-mails I sent to some students had mistakes. However there is technology available to help with grammar and spelling and students should use this if they are having difficulty. We are not talking about the difference between who and whom either. Some students are struggling with the basics. Getting the English right is an integral part of this assessment. It's also an essential skill that students should get to grips with.
Students can earn more marks by doing more than merely reporting on what we did in class. Very few students have done so thus far.
Some students didn't really do anything for Week 03. I don't know if this was an oversight or a lack of understand about what is required. I'll be happy to elaborate or clarify if needed.
