Readings

A print version of the unit reader is available from the bookshop. However, all readings can be accessed online via the links below.

You should aim to finish the readings before you start Task 3 (week 10). We encourage you to reflect on the readings and sharing your thoughts about them with your peers in the discussion forums on the Moodle site to clarify your understanding of the concepts.
