SDB43123z Week 6 Case Study 2 Considering an EA Program

This week student discussed about Case Study 2: Considering an EA Program. The activity for this week is called Pair Composition. Pair composition is one of the active learning techniques that is normally adopted in language subjects. It is about two student collaboratively writes a composition. I asked the students to write a summary of the case study, thus using pair composition approach seems to be appropriate. I hope it does.

The first part of the project has already begun in the tutorial. The groups have to brainstorm of a business. The groups have to provide as much information as they can to the business. This business will soon become the client for the EA team project. I have been told most students were unable to attend because of some job interview that they had. In previous semesters, students can brainstorm and still have time to present their business. Eventhough, the business seems not complete but at least it gives something for the EA team to work on. The EA team has to obtain more information about the client's business.

The summaries were acceptable but the work is not as what I have instructed. Only the first paragraph is jointly written by the pair. The remaining paragraphs are the student's own work. I have the impression that the whole summary was the pair's work rather than individual. I assume that the students were not familiar with the method.
