Alternative Assignment Format

You are studying communications. Your final assignment is a 3,000-word essay, but you believe a short documentary would show your research better, and the unit guide says alternative formats may be considered. Speak to your lecturer after class: explain why you want to change the format and ask what you would need to do to get approval.

Hi, do you have a minute? I wanted to ask about the final assignment. I know it's set as a 3,000-word essay, but I noticed the unit guide mentions that alternative formats can be considered. My research is on community radio, and I've collected several interviews, so I think a short documentary would present the material more effectively. Could you tell me what I'd need to submit to get that approved, and whether the marking criteria would stay the same? I'm happy to send you a brief proposal this week. Thanks for considering it.
