This unit provides participants with the opportunity to present for assessment a published article (with ISBN or ISSN) or other equivalent piece (to be agreed by the Pathway Co-ordinator) in the public domain. The selected publication must be one that has been published in the preceding five years. The complete assignment should consist of the publication and an accompanying that places the publication within the broad field of the Pathway, argues its relevance, and undertakes a self-assessment concerning issues raised by the process of writing or production. The commentary will be 4,000 words (or equivalent.)
