Reflection 1

The first thing I taught the students was referencing; I emphasised the difference between online citations (brief) and bibliography (full details). Unfortunately several students started the course late, one in week 6 & without a laptop, and some of the students didn't pay 100% attention, and so with a few students there was confusion as to what citations and bibliography meant.

The students then summarised a magazine article and referenced using easybib.com (1st research task).

The 2nd research task was the comparison between the Bugatti Veyron & the Porsche 911 Turbo. The main problem was getting the students to do accurate citations & bibliography; several wanted to use numbering in their texts rather than citations.

The students are now working on Report Submissions 1 & 2. Some have posted 2, some 1 and some 0. Further reflections on this later.
