Canvas: Assignment with Submission

Where your assessment requires you to submit work to Canvas or an External Tool, it is not recommended to submit via the Canvas App due to some limitations in the App functionality. We would suggest instead that submission is made on a browser from a computer or mobile device.

It is not recommended that you submit your assignment or take a quiz on a cellular or satellite connection. This is because loss of internet connection during assessment is most commonly associated with these services, although we understand that sometimes this is the only option. Wherever possible, we would recommend that assessments are submitted or undertaken on WiFi or hardwired (ethernet) connections.

Large files are best submitted on a hardwired internet connection (i.e., not WiFi).

Part 1: File upload to the Canvas link, this may be a presentation, MP4 file, PDF or Word document. Please consult with the Module Lead for assistance on which file type is best for your project.

Part 2: Reflective task, please download the template, save it to your own documents and then edit using the guide.

Submission should be Word document or exported to PDF, either is fine with no preference however, Mac users may find exporting to PDF preferable to ensure a recognised file is found by Canvas.

Assessment Details

Assessment Task Detail and Instructions:

This assignment is made of two parts, you will need to complete both to pass this module.

Learning Outcomes:

LO1: Analyse the notion of equality, appraising differing definitions of equality.

LO2: Demonstrate differing perspectives on the notion of equality across disciplines.

LO3: Apply and evaluate the practices of equality within a real-world scenario, offering solutions to problems that demonstrate critical thinking.

LO4: Critically reflect on the limitations of a single discipline to solve wider societal concerns by applying knowledge created through the discovery and exploitation of connections across disciplines.

Part 1: Presentation

Task: Your task is to create some form of presentation, however this can be as creative as you wish. It could be a video performance, speech, manifesto or even works that include artistic elements, for example, a cartoon or a children’s short story. It is however imperative that there is vocal delivery for this assessment, so your own voice must be recorded alongside the work. The submission is not live, but rather pre- recorded before the submission deadline. The expected length is 8-10 minutes.

You should cover the concepts of equality, equity, prejudice and discrimination within your introductory section. Here you are expected to define such concepts from different disciplines we have examined in the class sessions. As this module focuses on real-world scenarios, contextual examples are key, these should relate to examples found in your research (LO1 & 2).

You should then provide evaluations on two specific case studies. These will cover one micro and one macro real-world scenario. You will offer solutions to the examples of inequality and demonstrate an inter-disciplinary approach within these. It is suggested to consider the implications of your solutions also, which will help demonstrate your critical thinking capabilities (LO3 & 4).

Submission: Please consult with the Module Lead – Lewis Young to discuss the best format for submission. It may be that the file size is too large (video, MP4) and you will

need to compress it. For submissions creating a visual element alongside your speech, please ensure this is on one file. For example, you may have created a visual poster for a hypothetical campaign, however, your vocal delivery needs to be recorded alongside this. This is particularly important as your work needs to be critically appraised by another student in your cohort, issues in submission will lead to delays and could impact grading.

Part 2: Reflective essay Task:

Step 1: You will use the template provided here (link). Your task is to use the Gibbs Model for self-reflective analysis on your presentation. These points should follow the reflective cycle clearly (given below) and should focus on your experiences during this module. Total word count for this first half should be around 500 words.

  1. Description of the experience
  2. Feelings and thoughts about the experience
  3. Evaluation of the experience, both good and bad
  4. Analysis to make sense of the situation
  5. Conclusion about what you learned and what you could have done differently
    1. Action plan for how you would deal with similar situations in the future, or general changes you might find appropriate.

Step 2: You will then view another student’s submission, this will be paired through Canvas and randomly assigned. You will provide a SWOT analysis if the work, focusing on the key elements of the submission – the disciplines used for definition, their contextual examples for these definitions and then the evaluations and solutions offered for their real-world scenarios. You will not critically examine the works delivery, but you may note points on whether the visual elements were appropriate.

This second half should be around 500 words also.

Please note that you are expected to reference appropriately during the reflective submission. You should use the system that your faculty uses (CtR Harvard, APA or Oscola).
