1. We have placed you into working groups. Allocations have been made according to location, time zone and comparable legal jurisdictions. There are three groups in total; Orange, Yellow and Pink.

2. Each week your group has to complete two task

(a) agree an answer to the set questions for that week and

(b) as a group give feedback to both the other groups.

3. Groups are expected to use the group page to generate that week’s answers but post the final answers on the blog by 24h00 UST on Sundays of the week in question. The final answers for each week should not exceed 2000 words but can be much shorter.

4. Groups will also use the blog to give feedback to the other two groups. Feedback of other groups will be evaluated by the course leaders. Feedbacks for other groups must be posted by 24h00 UST on Tuesday in the week in question.

5.Total Feedback for each group is based on both the weekly answers as assessed by the other groups, and also the evaluation of Feedbacks.

6. Give feedback on the answers by the others groups by looking at the – accuracy, clarity, utility of their answers. Use a simple scale of 0 to 10 to give Feedback, with 0 being awarded for a failure to provide answers, 1-4 for weak or flawed answers, 5 for adequate, 6 -7 for good, and 8-10 for excellent.
