This assessment is a portfolio of responses to the readings. The assessment involves writing up to 500 words (1-2 pages double spaced) each week on the set readings up until and including week 5. You must directly relate your response to the ideas and topics raised in the readings.
The portfolio should take the form of a set of written responses, which do not have to be (and should not be) mini-essays, but which demonstrate your engagement with the concepts and debates raised in the readings and any questions the course generates for you.
