•

Sub-steps involved:
a)
Research future lectures, or text book or
recommended readings to find more about
your chosen topic
b)
Research other sources if you cant find
much in (1)
c)
Your reading findings about the theories,
concepts & facts of the topic should give
some ideas to re-engineer what Qs you can
ask and potentially use these reading
findings to frame your answers’ outlines.
The answer can be somewhat
theory/academe based – that is fine as you
may not be able to get all relevant info
about the case’s situation relating to the
topic and Qs chosen.
Note: If you have not chosen the topic on Week 2-4:
Country assessment and MoE selection (default
option) – no need to do country assessment and
confuse yourself, as many had done so in class .
Just ask Q related to the chosen week’s subject
matters.
