Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Reflective blogs – Reflective blogs are written from the student’s own perspective and students will have the opportunity to describe and reflect on their own experiences of leadership and technology, linking these experiences to the relevant literature. This linking of personal experiences with the relevant literature helps to create a link between their studies and the real world. The word count is only 2,000 words because student blogs are expected to be precise, concise and to the point.
Literature review – writing a literature assesses students’ ability to critically engage with the current literature in a particular field – an essential skill required to carry out further research in these areas.
