In this section, we will revisit the assignment's expectations and the steps necessary to complete the assignment effectively.
● Compare and contrast different professional perspectives and approaches across the communication disciplines.
● Identify and apply principles and strategies for working in interdisciplinary teams.
● Apply knowledge and skills in communication, collaboration and project management within an interdisciplinary team.
● Critically reflect on your role in projects, the collaborative process of working in interdisciplinary teams and areas for improvement for your future professional practice.
● Requirement: reflect on your insights and learning in a reflective essay, submitted alongside proof of your contribution in the team assignment.
● Format: a 1,000-word course reflection + evidence of contribution (any artifact that you produced throughout the teamwork assignment)
● Objectives:
- Students have to evaluate their learning and propose how it can be applied to their professional practice.
- Use the DIEP reflection method.
- Draw on a minimum of THREE course texts/readings to provide a wider academic context for your discussion.
DISCLAIMER: since the course does not include any established list of references, readings or texts, you must ask lecturers for more information on how you are required to incorporate a minimum of 3 into this assignment. The important question to ask is: “Where should students draw academic sources from for assignment 3?”
- This assignment is a distillation of your insights and learning, not a long essay or reflective journal. The exact form and format of this reflection should reflect your understanding of the themes/principles/methods learned through the course.
- You must incorporate images and media content from your project outcomes which can show your individual effort to contribute to the group project.
- Its intended audience is written and designed for an educated reader who may not be an expert in this specific field => Avoid being excessively technical and academic with your explanation.
- The form and content must be of a high standard: well structured, with clear communication, attention to detail, and thorough proofreading.
● Assignment structure (DIEP model):
- Introduction: 50 words
- Describe: 200 words
- Interpret: 300 words
- Evaluate: 300 words
- Plan: 150 words

In this step, we will discuss in detail each component and its requirements within the assignment.
For this part, you’ll need to include every artifact you made yourself or participated in making in the group assignment. It is recommended that you display both visuals of and online links to these artifacts so the lecturer can observe your work in both ways.
Under each artifact, shortly write what your contribution was in that particular piece.
Example: For this press release, I incorporated news values, hooks as well as values to portray a nuanced and informative narrative to attract attention from the newspapers.
