Demonstrated performance against criteria
Writing to criteria – assessment tasks
Understand the expectations and write for your reader
Criteria are the recipe for success
Carefully check the assessment criteria
Plan your work to clearly demonstrate your very best work against the criteria
Writing to criteria - engagement
Engagement IS
Demonstrated understanding of required
readings
Defining key terms with reference to the
required readings
Critical analysis / critique
Using the required readings as a shared credible
resource
Identifying strengths and weaknesses
Connecting / comparing with further credible
sources
Offering alternatives that are supported by
scholarly research or evidence
Using the required readings as a starting point or
reference point for your own work
Engagement ISN’T
Simple summary or simple description
Parroting or repeating
Uncritical agreement – you are welcome
to develop counter arguments and
critiques supported by scholarly sources
Online resource:
https://www.student.unsw.edu.au/critical-
thinking
REMINDER: Regular, significant, and
specific contact with the course concepts
and required readings is essential for all
assessment tasks in MDIA2096
Engagement
HINT:
BEGIN your preparation for the assessment task with close attention
to the required reading(s)
Read closely
Highlight key concepts, quotable quotes, key arguments
Take notes – including page numbers for references
Identify the key concept(s) / argument(s) / example(s) that you will
engage with in your own written work
Focus and structure
Focus
less can be more
identify a key issue / problem / example and discuss / analyse this in some detail and with
some nuance / complexity rather than list a number of key points without developing any
in a more substantial way
Structure
think beyond a loose collection of ideas – introductory and summing up sentences,
unfolding an argument
1 idea per paragraph, well–developed
Logical order / argument / sequence of ideas
Avoid the ‘wall of words’
Aim to start strong and end strong
Evidence and sources
always provide evidence for the arguments or claims that you make
Your argument carries more weight and has greater credibility when supported by
evidence and references to quality scholarly sources
ensure that you use reliable and appropriate sources for academic writing. Reliable
and appropriate sources will primarily be academic or scholarly sources – particularly
peer reviewed journal articles or books published by an academic publisher.
use journalist/media or commentary sources sparingly, if at all. Be sceptical and
critically analyse online sources that are not scholarly publications. Verify your sources
and select only sources where the authority and expertise of the author and publisher
can be well established
Evidence and sources
News media and media commentary can be useful sources for current examples,
but you should not rely solely or primarily on media sources to support your
argument
Aim to engage the highest quality sources available
The Lecture is not a peer reviewed publication. Use the Lecture as a guide and
a prompt to assist your engagement with the required readings and further
materials. Do not rely on direct references to the Lecture to support your work –
instead go directly to the required scholarly readings
Examples
An example can be very effective - to focus your writing and to
demonstrate your understanding of the topic
Example(s) drawn from scholarly or media sources should be fully
acknowledged with intext referencing and in the Reference List
The examples scholars use should be properly thought of as part of their
intellectual property re issues of plagiarism and academic integrity
It is in unpacking an original example that an original critical perspective
might best emerge
Writing
Academic writing
Simple sentences best convey your meaning – verbosity obscures
Careful word choice
Explain / define key terms / key concepts in your own words, with reference to
the required readings
Quality not quantity – avoid padding or rambling
Avoid quote drops / quote bombs
Integrate all quotes – explain / unpack / connect in your own words
Demonstrate your own understanding in your own words
Beyond the basics
Aim high!
A title can be very effective to focus your writing and to engage and
orient the reader
Focus on media and social justice
Define / explain key concepts / key terms with reference to the required
readings. Explain why key concepts or issues are significant – why write
about this?
Show off your reading and research with thorough intext referencing
Beyond simple summary or description – foreground your voice and your
argument – why does this topic matter?
Aiming for expertise beyond opinion
Draft, revise, polish
Don’t stop at a first rough draft
Allow ample time to draft, revise and polish
Careful word choice, sentence construction, structure
Avoid single sentence paragraphs
Read your work out loud
Ask a friend or family member to read
Double-check the criteria

Engagement with required readings
Original ideas and independent research
Full and consistent acknowledgement / referencing of all sources
Key concepts / themes for MDIA2096 - focus on MEDIA and social justice /
human rights / ethics
Social justice / human rights issues with a focus on the role and impacts of media
E.g. role and impacts of media framing (climate change, protests, racism in media)
E.g. role and impacts of media and communication technologies (hidden costs of AI,
implications of EdTech)
Eg role and impact of media for human rights / social justice (gender and tech,
media and activism)
Feeding forward ….
Beyond personal reflection
personal reflection can be a good starting point but should never be the end point
Avoid generalisations and sweeping statements
E.g. ‘time will tell’
E.g. ‘social media gives everyone a voice’
Present your informed and expert opinion – supported with scholarly sources and
evidence
Feeding forward ….
• Provide full and complete referencing for all sources. Page numbers should be included
for direct quotes and for paraphrasing
• Demonstrate close and thorough engagement with the required readings. This means
that you should demonstrate that you have read closely and thought deeply rather than
relying on Lecture notes etc
