In the second seminar we will work through two, shorter, discussion tasks and then have a period of open coursework surgery.
Discussion tasks
Task 1 question
When does (digital) tech drive the future?
Pick a technology you remember being presented as ‘the future’ some time ago.
Task 2 discussion questions
Whose future?
- Who, in practice, shapes the digital technologies we use?
- How do digital technologies themselves shape our futures?
Coursework Surgery
This is time for us to explore your ideas for both the essay and the video assessments.
What makes a “good” essay?
It answers the question!
Good essays also:
- Addresses the themes of the module
- Uses geographical ideas and literature
- (but doesn’t have to be 100%)
- Offers a focused argument
- Doesn’t have to be comparison/contrast
- Grounds the argument in an example/case study
There will be time for you to ask questions and discuss some of these points in the classroom.
