1. 0:05Hi everybody, Elizabeth here. [music]
2. 0:07Um this is just a quick video to explain
3. 0:11assessment one [music] uh for SRP 5018
4. 0:14to you which is the participation and
5. 0:17engagement [music] assessment.
6. 0:32We have 10 tutorials in the term.
7. 0:34[music] So each tutorial uh gives you
8. 0:36two marks towards that final grade. Um
9. 0:39you won't be see be receiving feedback
10. 0:41[music] every week. What we will do is
11. 0:43give you some informal feedback between
12. 0:45weeks three and four um where the tutors
13. 0:48[music] can just uh update you on how
14. 0:50they think you're going so you can
15. 0:53figure out okay yeah I'm doing really
16. 0:54well. I don't need [music] to change
17. 0:56anything. Um or maybe they might have
18. 0:58some suggestions for how you can do
19. 0:59better.
20. 1:05The way that we're marking this [music]
21. 1:06assignment, it's broken down into a
22. 1:08participation mark and an engagement
23. 1:10mark. Now, the participation mark
24. 1:12[music] is out of five. You either get
25. 1:14five or zero. And participation is
26. 1:17firstly physically showing up to the
27. 1:20tutorial. [music] That's in person. If
28. 1:23you're doing one of the inerson
29. 1:25tutorials or of course logging on online
30. 1:27[music] if you're in the online
31. 1:28tutorial. But it's not just about being
32. 1:31there physically. [music]
33. 1:32We also want to see that you are active
34. 1:36in that participation.
35. 1:44We just want [music] to see that you are
36. 1:46present, you're listening to what's
37. 1:48going on around you, and you're [music]
38. 1:50responding to instructions and guidance
39. 1:53from your tutor.
40. 1:58For engagement, [music]
41. 2:00this is a little bit more complicated
42. 2:02and I've tried to set it up so it is as
43. 2:05[music] fair a reflection of your
44. 2:07engagement as possible. Um, you'll be
45. 2:10getting a mark out of 15 every week. And
46. 2:13that will be five marks for your
47. 2:15emotional engagement, five [music] marks
48. 2:17for your cognitive engagement, and five
49. 2:19marks for your behavioral engagement.
50. 2:21Break that language down into something
51. 2:23[music] a little bit simpler. What we
52. 2:25have here is emotional engagement being
53. 2:27about whether you um are genuinely
54. 2:30listening and responding [music] to
55. 2:31what's happening around you. Um that you
56. 2:34bring a sense of positivity and openness
57. 2:37[music] to learning when you come to
58. 2:39class. Uh that you engage uh actively
59. 2:42and respectfully with your peers and
60. 2:45that you generally bring a sense [music]
61. 2:47of emotional maturity to the discussions
62. 2:49that we have in class. Second, [music]
63. 2:52cognitive is about how you are
64. 2:54understanding. Now, that doesn't mean
65. 2:56that we expect you to show [music] up to
66. 2:58every tutorial as an expert on the
67. 3:00theories or on the ideas that we've been
68. 3:02discussing. But what it does mean is
69. 3:04[music] that we want to see that you are
70. 3:07applying those theories and ideas, that
71. 3:10you are thinking [music] through how
72. 3:11they might work, what they might look
73. 3:13like, that you're asking questions to
74. 3:16help you clarify anything that you're
75. 3:18not clear on. Um and generally showing
76. 3:20that you are critically reflecting on
77. 3:23the things [music] that we are talking
78. 3:24about in the course and in a course
79. 3:27that's about power and politics and
80. 3:29policym of course this is really crucial
81. 3:31because [music]
82. 3:32there is a lot of critical thinking
83. 3:34involved in understanding policy uh in
84. 3:37the real world as well. And finally we
85. 3:40have [music] behavioral engagement and
86. 3:42that is about the things that you are
87. 3:44actually doing to demonstrate your
88. 3:46engagement. So that might be asking
89. 3:48questions, speaking up. Um, but if
90. 3:51that's not something [music] that you're
91. 3:52totally comfortable with, it can also be
92. 3:54about showing your engagement through
93. 3:57[music] the small group discussions,
94. 3:58through writing, through completing the
95. 4:01online activities. Um, and what I want
96. 4:04to do is try [music] and give you
97. 4:06different ways to demonstrate this so
98. 4:08that you don't feel like you [music]
99. 4:10always have to be the person that's
100. 4:11speaking up and saying something.
101. 4:17Just to wrap up this [music] video,
102. 4:19firstly I just want to stress engagement
103. 4:21is not about being the loudest person in
104. 4:23the room or the person who speaks most.
105. 4:25Please do have a think about what is
106. 4:27going [music] to work best for you and
107. 4:30try to make sure that you have some
108. 4:32[music] consistency across the term. The
109. 4:34best tips that I can give to help make
110. 4:37sure that you do well on this assessment
111. 4:38[music] is firstly to do the readings
112. 4:40that are set. Make sure you go through
113. 4:42the Moodle. There will be notes on how
114. 4:44[music] to prepare for each uh lecture
115. 4:47and tutorial every week. Um there may
116. 4:50sometimes [music]
117. 4:50be an online video for you to watch
118. 4:52beforehand. So just make sure that you
119. 4:54go through the Moodle [music] and see
120. 4:55what you need to do to prepare. Once
121. 4:58you've done that, come to the tutorial
122. 5:01and [music] be ready to share your ideas
123. 5:03in whatever form works for you. There
124. 5:06are no right or wrong answers
125. 5:08necessarily [music]
126. 5:09when we're talking about power and
127. 5:10politics. And if you are not sure about
128. 5:13something, ask a question and show us
129. 5:16that you're engaging and thinking about
130. 5:18the issues and ideas that this course is
131. 5:21all about.
