Material Design - Assignment

The document outlines two assignment options for a course. Option 1 requires students to write a 2-hour teaching unit and teacher's notes based on course material, and reflect on how the course influenced their work. Option 2 requires students to evaluate an existing teaching unit for a specific learner group, suggest adaptations with reasons, and reflect on course learnings. Both options require a 1000-word reflection on important learnings, areas of interest, and implementing ideas in future teaching. Assessment criteria focus on addressing requirements, quality of work, justifications showing course learning, and reflection.
