Introduction

  • Coursework requirement 1: An individual written assignment of four pages. The assignment will be read and assessed by two fellow students before the lecturer assesses the assignment, with the enclosed comments by the fellow students, and decides whether or not it is approved

The purpose of the coursework requirement is to further develop the students’ academic writing skills. It is crucial that child welfare workers are skilled at expressing themselves clearly and accurately in writing.

The coursework requirement must be completed and approved by the stipulated deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If the coursework is not approved, the student will be given the opportunity to submit an improved version once by a given deadline.
