This document provides instructions for an assignment involving presenting on a social or environmental problem from a previous module. Students are asked to: 1. Prepare a 5-10 minute presentation on a social/environmental problem they previously investigated, including a summary of their investigations and proposed solution. 2. Present to their group and receive peer feedback using a marking rubric. 3. Improve their presentation based on feedback and upload the final version to the learning platform by November 8th for grading. The document reviews the assignment requirements and provides preparation guidance, reminding students to review previous work, choose a topic, form presentation groups, and seek tutor help. It also checks on progress of another concurrent assignment.

2. A perfect cuppa
• In what order do you
need these
components?
• In 5mins, draw me a
diagram
What components
do you need to
make a cuppa for
the class?

3. Map your module- a visual representation of
your understanding of the module materials
• My email on Thursday asked you to read your workbook
• What learning ‘objects’ or components should you be using?
• How do they relate? In the same way as your ‘perfect cuppa’
• I want to ‘see’ your understanding of the module so far
• Note questions about what you are reading as you go along
• Upload photos and questions to a new post on AS1

4. PS1 Preparation
• If you received a briefing on PS1 already:
• Work on your assignments
• Use the marking rubrics to check what grade you expect

5. Prepare a presentation (do this at home and
with tutor support)
• Presentation must contain information on:
1. The social problem that you worked on in the previous module
• This can be an environmental problem
• This can be something you have encountered in your own experience
2. A summary of the investigations you did to prepare for that
• You need to keep a note of what you did to find out about that problem/issue
• Do you experience this issue yourself?
• Have you searched the literature on NELSON?
• You can prepare for this in your tutorial time
3. What you proposed to solve the social or environmental problem at the end of the module
• This can come directly from the module work from the previous module, or your previous experience
4. Why you think your social or environmental problem is worth your whole team investigating in more detail
• Make your case why you think your topic/issue is worth further investigation- is is widespread, urgent, particularly relevant to students?
• Enough material to present and engage with an audience for a maximum of 10 minutes (between 5-20
minutes).
• You are not actually going to progress with this investigation, you are only practicing making the case for a project. We will
stick with ‘student food poverty’.
• You present on your OWN topic to the team

6. Workshop Procedure
• In groups of 5, present to each other using your prepared presentational
material
• Have a discussion/debate about whose social/environmental issue could be
taken forward for further investigation in a module like this, at this
university, by you, over 26 weeks
• Discuss and agree whose proposal would be most viable
• Use the Marking Rubrics forms provided by your tutor to propose a grade
for each other’s work
• Make sure the forms are carefully and correctly completed, and hand them
in

7. Your actual full name and student number, not nickname or a scribble
The name and ID of the student you are marking
This is what should be in the presentation
Talk about and agree what POSITIVE feedback you would want to get
yourself, and therefore what you would want to give

8. Submission
• After the workshops you are free to improve your presentation work,
but write notes in the presentation ppt about what you have done to
improve your work.
• Upload your presentation to the NILE Journal before 8th November
2019
• Your tutor will use the Marking Rubrics forms to inform their grading
of your uploaded work

10. Preparation work
• Have a look back at your previous FDN work
• Decide on a social or environmental problem topic that you would like to present
on
• Agree the members of your team- preferably with DIFFERENT topics to talk about
• Make sure you still have enough material from last year to use
• Look at the assignment brief (red notes): do you all understand it?
• Look at the marking rubrics: do you understand how you are going to be marked?
• What help do you need from your tutor?
• Which week/session would your team like to present?
• Record some notes in PS1 journal

11. Finally
• Have you made progress on your A1 task?
• Have you noted that you have received feedback/comments on your
journal work so far?
• What are you going to do next?
