Indicative Assessment
Assessment will be based on(1) student participation: online activity completion; discussion board 20%,
(2) module final take-home exam 40%, and
(3) a project 40%.
Student Participation:
Students are expected to complete the self-test online activities for each module: pre-reading & vocab; fill-in-the-blank listening; comprehension, designed to test your understanding. Students are also expected to actively participate in the course discussion board. One post per week in response to the discussion points is required in Japanese on the discussion board. Depending on participant home technology we will also test out live classroom technology a number of times throughout the term.
Takehome:
Students are required to complete a final takehome-exam, which is based on the modules students during the course.
Project:
Each student will be required to select a project topic based on one of the six modules studied. Students must research a topic and incorporate opinions other than their own. The mode of presentation is flexible and will be discussed on an individual basis with students.
