- Lectures and reading.
- Assessment methods
- Students will write a-2000 word essay (excluding executive summary and references). The topic needs to be related to one of the lectures of the course (a movie, advertisement, pornography, robot sex, cybersex etc …) AND the topic needs to be approved by your teacher (see appendix 3). Students need to research their topic (using at least 10 Academic sources) and explain in their essay how and why their topic has impacted society. After a suitable period they will receive feedback on their essays (depending on the numbers of students this could be by Skype, in writing or face to face feedback in a subsequent visit.)
