Assignment 2(b)—Learning Contract: Report Section I
This assignment consists of Section I of your Learning Contract Report submitted as a draft for feedback and guidance from the markers. It comprises the introduction, literature review, reflections on the literature, and methodology parts of your final report.
One step of your methodology must be to collect, and analyse, media (newspaper, TV, radio) reports of stories/examples related to your learning contract topic. For example, if you choose ethics then you would collect reports on ethical conduct and ethical issues in businesses and organizations.
See “Part C – Writing Up Your Learning Contract Final Report” (at the end of Assessment 2c) for details on how to set out and what to include.
