Fortunate to get a B+ with late submitting the video.
Attendance checking - by doing online mini quizzes. scores in mini quizzes does not count into the final grade. so just get them done.
2 quizzes throughout the course - multiple choices + short questions (10 marks X 2). relatively difficult. be familiar with your ppt notes.
video + report - group work. analyse a social issue. better have someone good at video taking and editing in your group
bonus points - answering & asking questions in class.

Devoted much efforts, time in the group project
Quiz also had a hard time to revise (the day before) but i jot notes during lesson
In overall, though this is a good grade GE you must contribute much efforts, otherwise the results will not be very good.
And the competition is keen for registration of this GE
For your reference:
Quiz 1: 87/100 (mean 72-73)
Quiz 2: 84/100 (mean 76, i know the highest is 100)
Group project: 27/30 (my group as the highest one, mean is 22.5)
Twitter assignment: 7 times 3/3, 1 time 2.9/3
Attendance rate: 88/100
Bonus mark: didn't answer any questions during the lesson, but filling in survey for 1 mark (basically all ppl got this)
My tip is that if you wreck the quiz, just work hard in group project, still can save you grade as i had thought of getting a lower grade (my quiz mark is not very good)
only need to tweet around 30 words per week,easy!
2 quizzes, only need to revise for 1 day and can score above 80 marks
1 group project,1 presentation and 1 group paper, not difficult and not all members are required to do the presentation.
workload is not that heavy
1. Weekly Tweets (most of them can be done within 5-10 mins)
2. Two quizzes - as long as you are willing to spend some time revising the notes, you'll be fine
3. one Group project ~7 groupmates
(one presentation + one group paper --> divided workload)
The tutor Crystal is really nice too!
Lectures can be at times pretty boring though.

A+輕鬆好grade之選
(完全係quiz決定final grade, 不過仍然輕鬆)
-兩次Quiz, 睇番之前既ppt就得，背埋重點就最好，MC, 少少tricky啦 但主要都係背。我次次都係兩日前先背，上堂做自己野，可見其實都幾輕鬆
以下 其實無決定性 但我都講下
- weekly tweets 就咁po news就坐底有2.9分，整少少野就3分滿分(例如幾個新聞一起) 五分鐘做完，唔需要任何原創性， 貼番個link就得
- attendance 當場做網上練習，唔計做得幾好，有做就得
- final project (video + report) 我地個video無咩特別effects(其他組有d好勁)，齋訪問，而且都唔係訪問咩知名人士。。。都有 7/8。個report正正常常都會高分。
2014/15 Sem B
A+Workload:
weekly tweets 30% : 每個星期一條, 有個week要拍video、影下相, 但其實只要平時得閒諗下內容, 好快完成。
2 quizzes 30% : 20 MC (4分條), 2 Long Q(10分條), 有溫一定識, 問題好straight forward。呢2個quizzes應該係影響grade既關鍵, 因為其實佢比tweets同group project既分好似個個都差唔多, 但1個quiz就可以拉開人地好多分。我2次quiz都高過mean 20分左右。
group project 30% : 1組5-6人。1個presentation, 搵1-2人做representative; 要用info-graphic pre, pre完Crystal會比d意見你, 等你improve下份final report。Final report 好似max.15頁, 1人3,4頁(if no freerider), 唔難搞。
participation 10% : 做online in-class ex. (socrative) 嚟take attendance。
Crystal係個幾好既tutor, 覆email覆得好快, 意見都叫有用, 係上堂有dd悶lol
Overall, 呢個course reg得過, 又唔快full, 個grade仲好過我爭餐死既所謂靚grade course。

每個星期都要tweet，有做就ok架啦，3 mins ko.
上堂可以唔使聽書，不過記得答socrative. （即使走堂都記住要答啊！都係有做就ok架啦）
Readings 可以唔使睇，不過要溫熟d ppt, 因為有兩個in-class test.
係mc + essay 來的，有溫就會識，好straight forward.
仲要sem 尾交多1 gp project+ 1 infographics + 1 presentation.
Crystal 好好人 :D 記得consult 下佢~

B有返齊, 做曬d twitter, 不過果兩個test 都 below average. 自問有温書, 雖然吾係日温夜温果隻, 但係真係冇expect 個grade會今.
2013/14 Sem B
B有Weekly twitter, 難取高分，有交就有固定分數
兩個Quizes 有温都輕鬆過關，選擇題4 分一題，第一次quiz 20選擇題中錯了約8 題就低過平均分了（大概這是造成Grade B 的主因）。
一個project,約13-15頁的報告， 6-8人一組，題目自訂，要認真點做。
再來就是presentation，主要是根據報告內容，製作一份infographic，有網站指示製作，未曾做過相關設計都不需要擔心。
課程挺有意義，有少少是常識，有一定程度上關心社會時事應該不難處理，會讀理論以及相關社會例子反映的現象等等。
2013/14 Sem B
A呢科攞 B+ 或以上應該唔難
Weekly tweet 其實只要係比心機做嘅話，唔駛寫得好高深，或者博佢上堂 show 比其他人睇，都可以有 full mark
Quiz 其實有預早溫書都大致識做，我仲記得兩次 quizzes 都係錯4題MC (total 20題)
Presentation 係另一個關鍵。當然要 part 好組員啦，而且個 infograph 都要有返咁上下精美——但 report 先係最重要，係令你 presentation 30% 可唔可以滿分嘅重點。
仲有......Crystal 好好人架，同埋識講廣東話 :P
2013/14 Sem B
BWeekly Twitter雖然只需寫好小嘢
但係我覺得真係好難係有限既字數入面表達到自己個idea然後攞good grade
我覺得最煩係quiz,兩次都炒曬,低過mean,最煩係佢上堂之後先upload lecture notes,搞到上堂時兩手空空,坐係到齋聽,好難專心到
個prj因為有groupmate有sources所以唔洗點做嘢
總結,係一個大路無伏但好煩既GE COURSE
