That is a shame. It’s never a very high % of the overall grade but I think it is good for students to know that choices have consequences across the academic year.
Equally, we are being steered back towards in person assessment and this is one way to ensure this doesn’t simply mean in person exams.

Whilst I don’t like it, it has been a class participation mark - there is a consequence for non-completion of work.
This combined with specific questions or tasks that require a close engagement with the readings.
I am also introducing a (very small) penalty for failing to submit formative work.

Afterwards, I walked up to Mont Royal Cemetery to see Currie's memorial and to look at the CWGC graves that are so carefully cared for.
(Obviously, the views of the city are also fantastic)
Interestingly, there is a space for the graves of veterans of the Crimean and South African Wars.

I also discovered that British helmets during the Great War contained asbestos!
The centre holds a wealth of material culture - and personal documents - for historians to consult.
Additionally, their (new) research space is wonderful to work in and the building is beautiful - well worth a visit.
