Take us to another world...: or let's talk 'assessment'

"We learn by example and by direct experience

because there are real limits to the adequacy of verbal instruction."
Malcolm Gladwell,

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, 2005

The time has come to talk about assessment - and this assessment is all about you learning, and helping others to learn, by doing. I have posted some guidelines on the Shared Files. These are suitably vague and random to allow you to express yourselves pretty freely. As I said in the lecture, use your imagination, challenge us, stretch the intellectual and physical boundaries of geography, take us outside the classroom if you like - just don't get us arrested.

The world is your oyster, within certain practical limitations in terms of how far we can get from the centre of Manchester in a two hour slot. So I need you to let me know 'where' you are planning on leading your activity. In order to co-ordinate which groups lead which days, I need to choreograph locations appropriately.

So please use the comments facility here to give me your group number and the location you are proposing - by the end of Reading Week (i.e. 3 November).
