Students are asked to choose a site to collect their data (examples of sites can be provided but they can also be given freedom to choose one that is not listed in the examples). They are then asked to design a research question, collect some basic quantitative data and qualitative data that relates to the themes of the course, conduct some basic analysis (in the case of quantitative typically just some frequencies), link their findings to existing academic literature, and present their findings in their tutorial.

Reflective Essay on Refugee Artefacts and Refugee Law

Sequence

Reflective Essay on Refugee Artefacts and Refugee Law

The assessment promotes critical reflection utilising refugee artefacts to enable law and politics students to connect their theoretical knowledge and understanding of international refugee law and human rights law with the 'lived experience' of certain asylum seekers detained offshore on Nauru or Manus Island. The assessment encourages students to reflect on their own learning experience by identifying and explaining the connections between selected refugee artefacts (including letters from the Burnside/Durham Collection in the Fryer Library, semi-autobiographical books, radio podcasts, cartoons, documentaries or op-ed newspaper pieces) and refugee and human rights law.

Unfamiliar Contexts in Invigilated Exams

SCIE1000 covers mathematics, computer programming, communication, science and modelling. The main goal is to help students see that similar tools and approaches can be applied in a wide range of discipline areas and contexts. So my goal was mostly to develop students’ abilities and confidence in transferring knowledge from one context to another context that may initially appear to be quite distinct, but in reality the same general approaches apply. This is important in this course because we teach students from all areas of science.
