50.  TECHNICAL NOTES.

 

51. Length of study sessions.

 

The first groups of study sessions have a minimum indicated study time of 30 or 60 minutes.  After that, the sessions last at least 2 hours, in some cases even longer. Most students will need more time.

 

52. Reminders, reports, and exams (tutor-supported courses)

 

See : The Student’s progress chart.

 

The course has systematic built-in reminders (recalls) of the most important aspects of the course.  Important concepts are approached from different angles.

 

As a second-level recall, students must submit a report block by block on the work they have done. This report must be approved by the tutor before the student can proceed to the next block of study sessions.

 

As a third-level recall, students must pass exams for each Section of the course, before they can proceed to the study sessions in the following section of the course.

 

53.  Written work (“opinions, research, and reports”)

 

The student’s written work takes the form of research, opinion, and reports.

 

The division between research and opinion is not always clear. Some research topics contain elements of opinion. Some opinions contain elements of research. About half of the written work has been classified as “opinion”, and half has been classified as “research”.  Many students will need to dedicate much more time to their written work than the minimum time shown in the session material.

 

For their research, students are asked to collect and present certain information, often information on the local situation in their chosen project areas. During the course of this work, students are preparing project documentation for their own project areas for use later on during the fourth quarter of their studies  at the end of the course.

 

.Students are also often asked to supply their opinions on principles and information presented in the course material.

 

Tutor-supported students must prepare block by block reports on the work they have done. Approval of the report by the tutor is required before the student can proceed to the following block.

 

From time to time the tutors will  transmit to tutor-supported students a series of .htm files with the student’s code, which is the code given to each student’s chosen project area. Each  .htm file refers to a specific piece of research or to an opinion. Alternatively, tutors may decide to teach students how to generate their own work files.

 

Once the work in question has been completed, the student copies it by e-mail to the tutor.

 

All written work received from tutor-supported students is part of the information collected by NGO  Stichting Bakens Verzet on the project, region, and country in question. The best exercises will be published on website www.integrateddevelopment.org for the benefit of the general public.

 

54.  Pages for written work.

 

“One page” is an .htm document, the equivalent of a page size A4.  One page contains a maximum of 500 words.

 

“Two pages” means an .htm document, the equivalent of two size A4 pages.  Two pages contain a maximum of 1000 words. A working plan is usually provided for work more than one page long.
