FOEV5002M - Skills for Urban Sustainability by Deirdre Conlon https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh After reviewing the module assessment guidance (on Minerva) post questions related to assessments here: en-us 2021-02-25 23:16:52 UTC 2025-11-17 12:44:59 UTC hello@padlet.com The assessment asks to give an outline of what theoretical assumptions this method has been based on, what does this mean please? https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh/wish/1891338940 Thanks for the question. In a general sense, this refers to the underlying values and beliefs that underpin the method. For more specific guidance you may find the 'research methods orientation' slide (posted in the 'assessment' folder) useful to review in connection with this question. Also, the two epistemology lectures will be helpful too.

Thank you]]> 2021-11-15 14:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh/wish/1891338940 Do we need a reference list for the presentation? https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh/wish/1910244928 2021-11-24 09:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh/wish/1910244928 Could we discuss the explanatory vs normative examples again please to ensure understanding.

 *Explain how the method helps to assess methods/actions for addressing the challenge for city sustainability

How would we divide the minutes we have in between all this? rather: is there a section we should focus on most? https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh/wish/1910337409 2021-11-24 10:38:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dconlon11/bynogzrjixmojdbh/wish/1910337409
