Individual Contribution - 10%

Participation and engagement is ongoing throughout the program, crucial to the quality of learning as well as the immersion experience for the cohort. Students’ contribution to all scheduled activities are designed to reinforce key learnings and to assist in the development of the group and individual project, therefore active participation and engagement is strongly encouraged. Participation will not simply be a measure of how much students contribute to class discussion, but more importantly whether comments are thoughtful and stimulating, provide insight into the topics of investigation, pose interesting questions to peers (and speakers) and contribute to a positive and engaging rapport. How individual students interact with the cohort is also important to foster participation and engagement positively.
