Description of CW1
- Identify and discuss
- “the winners and losers from globalisation”.
- Make sure that you justify and well explain all the arguments you are making in deep details. Bring evidence from the real-world where applicable.
Specific Instructions
- Candidates need to submit their work on StudyNet before the deadline, which is Monday 26.02.2018 at 20:00.
- All submissions have to be in PowerPoints format. Also, the file that candidates submit has to be saved as their “family name".
- The submission can be made through the link in the assignment section on the module site.
- Candidates are required to include their student number in the first slide of their presentation.
- Include the length of the presentation in the first slide. For example, “duration: 10 minutes”.
- Candidates are reminded to allow enough time for uploading their work before the deadline.
- Font size and style are your choices, just make sure that consistency is taken into account through the presentation.
- You are encouraged to discuss the ideas you have in mind during tutorials or on the module site through ‘class discussion’. This is an excellent practice as it helps a variety of points of views get articulated.
Specific Instructions
- The first step is just to create the PowerPoint with slides/content and save this.
- Then open the saved PowerPoint, record your voice and speech related to each slide.
- Go to the ‘slide show’ tab
- Click ‘Record slide show’
- Before making any submission, check the quality of the recorded voice to make sure everything is clear and exactly how you want it to be.
Narrated PowerPoint
- Knowledge and Understanding
- 30%
- start with an introduction, present the topic by laying out the overall structure of the presentation.
- show that you have a good grasp of the broader context (provide evidence of wider reading). Your understanding of the topics involved will be judged based on the arguments you provide in discussing the winners and losers of globalisation.
- Identify at least 3 different losers and 3 different winners from globalisation.
Marking Scheme
- Quality of Content
- 30%
- Show your ability to analyse the information and data you decide to use and make critical judgements and conclusions. You will need to provide relevant arguments and reasoning to discuss why the factors you are identifying as losers and winners are appropriate and relevant. Concentrate on providing an in-depth conclusive analysis.
- Use relevant and accurate information, which includes journal/newspaper articles, books, interviews, audio recordings, documentaries etc. from reliable and academic sources.
Marking Scheme
- Planning and organisation
- 10%
- Pay attention to the presentation structure and quality of slides. Slides should not be too wordy.
- Select interesting & attractive methods for presenting your research
- Make sure the text used in the slides is of appropriate size and font, which is easily readable, professional and business-like;
- Use clear and audience-friendly pictures/graphs and other support materials.
Marking Scheme
- Timing of delivery
- 10%
- This requires candidate(s) to keep to the allocated time and have an effective and reasonable pace.
- The duration of the presentation must not be more than 11 minutes or less than 9 minutes.
Marking Scheme
- Clarity and Cohesion
- 10%
- Present clear, understandable and logical discussion which sensibly follows on from what has gone before.
- The points written in the slides need to be clear and understandable.
- Order the slides by level of importance and relevance.
- The arguments need to be coherent and follow logically.
- Language used in the text of the slides needs to be clear and academic-like with no errors in grammar and spelling.
Marking Scheme
- Referencing
- 10%
- Resources have to be well integrated into the presentation. Back up all your arguments by references, data, and evidence from the real-world.
- The number of references is important (minimum 5), but so it is the quality/appropriateness of the references and the way you use them to support your arguments.
- Try to avoid using many long quotes.
- References to resources need to be cited accurately. You will be expected to acknowledge your sources both in the slides and in a reference list at the end, both of which must conform to Harvard Standards.
