As part of the attendance requirements for this unit you are required to access vUWS every week for around one hour. During this time you will have opportunity to access additional learning resources (such as websites, news articles and media clips) relevant to the weekly topics and/or the unit as a whole.
These materials should be viewed in conjunction with the set readings and both sets of resources should be used as stimulus for your posts in your reflective online journal.
Reflections MUST consider the online material and/or readings (it is not compulsory to reflect on tutorials and lectures). Journal entries should summarise and critically reflect on key concepts/theories and/or issues/topics covered in the online material and readings.
Students are expected to engage in reflexivity when completing this task. In other words, they are expected to reflect on their own social, cultural and/or historical positioning, including their own beliefs, assumptions and practices, in relation to unit content.
Students should also note that this assessment is aligned with learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3. In this assessment, students are expected to:
— Recognise and described the family and intimate relationships as socially constituted
— Describe the contemporary diversity of family and intimate relationship forms both in our own and across cultures
— Provide evidence for the historical specificity of family forms and intimate relationships.
