Assignment 1 – iSAP

This is an iSAP task. It will involve you watching a stimulus piece and responding to a set of questions. To generate a response you will need to do your own research into compulsory income management, what it is, what social issues is it designed to address, what is the evidence to suggest it is effective?

After you have submitted your response on Moodle, you will then watch our expert panel consider these same questions. After you have considered their responses you will be required to go back and critique your original response based on what you learned from the video. This will be done via video message. You will be graded on both parts of this assessment.
