I'm also experimenting with class assignments on a new YEAR 3 course
"Development and Protest in Latin America". Students have to provide a
presentation, an executive summary, and a 'policy brief' on the activities
of a social movement or development NGO from either the perspective of
activists or those they are attempting to influence/change/overthrow/resist
etc.
Its going very well and the students are really getting into it, but the
problem I (may) have is that students tend to come only to the lectures
that relate to their policy brief. While drop off in lecture attendance is
always an issue in year three, has anyone got any suggestions for how to
minimise this - assuming its a problem?
