This assessment sees students work collaboratively to critically engage with key disciplinary scholarly outputs (books, articles, ethnographies) and produce an oral presentation relevant to the course content. In this way, students become active producers of the overall course content rather than passive recipients of information. This assessment is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge in the field of study, to acquaint students with key disciplinary outputs (in the case of ANTH1030 longform ethnographies), and to overcome problems of audience engagement during peer led oral presentations. In addition to these oral presentations, students are given an A4 sheet of paper on which they must provide peer feedback and/or reflections for two of the presentations by groups other than their own. Students are given flexibility in terms of what form this feedback takes and are encouraged to be creative . For example, feedback could be an image, a comic, a short paragraph, or a list of questions or critical insights. The emphasis is on fostering deep listening and allowing students to engage with presentations in creative ways. The presentation component (in the case of ANTH1030 worth 15% of student's overall grade) is completed and marked collaboratively while the feedback element (10%) is completed and marked individually.
PLEASE NOTE: The academic integrity information displayed on this page is currently under review. Some examples and descriptions were developed before the widespread availability of generative AI tools and may not reflect current approaches to assessment security. When adapting an assessment idea, staff should consider how the design supports authorship, verifies student achievement of learning outcomes, and mitigates inappropriate use of AI and other forms of academic misconduct.
