WELCOME TO THE MUSIC SUBCULTURE BLOGOSPHERE

Can you believe you actually get to make a blog about your favourite music subculture for assessment at a tertiary level? You're probably thinking this is too good to be true. In a way, it probably is. But there are some things you should keep in mind. First and foremost, this isn't a diary. And it's NOT a guaranteed 20%. I can tell when a student approaches a piece of assessment as "easy marks" and it tends to really get up in my grill. You need to engage with the task and demonstrate that you are working on it - exploring your area - rather than simply tapping away about things you already know about or find mildly interesting.

Familiarize yourself with the specifications of the task sheet, and use these as your bases. Cover them. Then the fun - the intellectually motivated fun - can happen on top of that.

For an idea of what we're building with this blogging task, take a look at a previous year's page:
