Reflective Blog, PHIL2020, 2022
Unit Convenor: A\/Prof Paul Formosa (Paul.Formosa@mq.edu.au).
Weighting: This assessment is worth 20% of your grade for this unit.
Due Dates: 30\/4\/2022 at 23:59. The due date is for both posts.
Submission: Upload your entries as two separate blog posts via the \u2018Reflective Blog\u2019
link under the assessment tab on iLearn. Your blog is only viewable by the unit\u2019s
teaching staff and yourself.
Task: The aim of the reflective blog is to develop your skills at critically reflecting
on relevant issues and topics in a philosophical manner. Your entries should include, but
are not limited to, creative and critical reflections on the unit content, as well as
broader reflections on the philosophical issues raised by the unit\u2019s content
(including linking to relevant and related real-world issues in e.g. the media), and further
reading. This is a reflective blog, not a research essay, and as such further research is
neither necessary nor expected, but it can be useful.
SUBMIT 2 BLOG POSTS IN RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Is technological progress inevitable? Is technological progress a good thing
    and how does it change us?<\/li>
  2. Critically discuss an important ethical, social, or political impact of a recent
    technology.
    Format and length: Each blog post\/vodcast\/podcast should take the form of a short
    video\/audio discussion. You can also include a poster, slide, image, or links as part of
    your post. The iLearn blog tool allows you to record audio and video directly (but note
    that there is a time limit of 3 minutes for videos). You can also upload video (e.g.,
    screen and audio capture of a presentation) or audio if that is easier (there is a 200MB
    upload limit). Each entry should be 3 minutes in length (with a leeway of plus or
    minus 30 seconds). Note: if you cannot record video or audio, you can upload a
    written blog post of equivalent length. But video and then audio are strongly preferred.
    Marking Rubric \u2013 we are looking for:
    \u2022 Understanding: Entries that demonstrate evidence of understanding the issues and
    topics we cover.
    \u2022 Critical Analysis: Entries that demonstrate a high degree of critical self-reflection on
    the issues and topics we cover.
    \u2022 Argument: Entries that demonstrate clear argumentation. While the blog need not be
    argumentative in form (it is not a thesis defence essay), where claims or arguments
    are made, they should be appropriately stated and defended.
    \u2022 Focus: Entries that are relevant.
    \u2022 Originality: Entries that demonstrate evidence of creativity and originality.
    \u2022 Communication: Entries that demonstrate evidence of good communication.
    Communication should be clear and accessible and not too informal. This is assessable
    academic content, not something you produce for your friends.
    \u2022 Length: Entries that are roughly of the right length. Entries longer or shorter than 3
    minutes will lose marks (outside a leeway of plus\/minus 30 seconds).
    \u2022 Referencing: If you reference something, you should add a reference (e.g. a web
    address is fine). Any commonly-used referencing style is acceptable. The reference can
    be a separate text post to your blog, or shown during an on-screen recording, etc.
