It is titled “Taking a Stand and Taking Action,” and you will have the choice of completing one of two options. It is recommended that Assignment 5.1 be reviewed early in the course so that students can begin to think about it throughout the entire course.
All assignments must be attempted, a minimum mark of 40% is required on all supervised pieces of assessment (final exam), and an overall final mark of 50% or greater must be obtained in order for the Distance Learning Unit to issue a final mark.
