Final Assessment (40%): instructions and directions
This final assessment is comprised of i) writing and ii) multimedia assessments. Each assessment is worth 50%.
iii.i) Writing Assessment:
Essential instructions: You will write a one-thousand original critical review of a relevant book of your choice. You must engage in intertextuality (references and in-text citations) from authoritative sources in this review.
Note: This is not a book summary. In addition, this is not an essay in which you paraphrase and juxtapose different relevant sources. This is an essay in which you concisely and coherently show off the depth and scope of your understanding of the selected relevant book for this course while critically and originally engaging with it by citing authoritative sources that unpack, contradict, illustrate, etc. key concepts, relationships, and ideas. In doing so with a clear sense of voice, your essay will be i) enriching the ongoing discussion; ii) establishing credibility; iii) demonstrating intellectual rigor; iv) building on previous work; and v) fostering dialogue and collaboration to advance knowledge in a specific field of this course.
