You have now looked at the possibility of how resources can be managed and who actually has the power over the decision-making process at different scales but how does it all link together?

Activity One - Reviewing the Curriculum

You will be given a copy of the guide that has been divided into clear sections, if you lose it there is a copy of it below. You will also need a set of coloured pens. You will be competing an audit of the course content, writing down the examples, detailed examples and case studies that we have used, defining key terms and adding examples to it.


      1. Read through the syllabus and with a green pen tick everything that you remember studying. Use a red pen to tick everything you have forgotten we have studied.
      2. Read through the syllabus for a second time along with the relevant sections of my website. Next to each syllabus point say whether you have finished every activity I asked you to do or record whether it is incomplete - write this in orange.
      3. Using a blue pen now record all the case studies, detailed examples and examples we have covered next to the relevant syllabus point.
      4. With a pink pen redefine all the key terms that you are unsure about.
      5. With a purple pen write all the exam questions that you have covered or are on the website that focus on this part of the syllabus.
