 This weeks major assignment was for all groups in each tutorial to polish up their News Articles for submisions, in the cases of plagiarism, the tutors need to check before submissions. For my group and I, we did manage to construct our News Article as we slacked at some places.
We also have Final Project: Topic and Instructions.

The part which i personally enjoyed this week

                                                           For the News Article

News article and my contribution.

Here is one of the news articles me and my group used.
Our tutorial group has a topic about the Protection of Information Bill which you can find more elaborated here
The sub-group that I am in in the tutorial will research more on the International coverage that the bill has had. 

As South Africa is a democratic country, freedom of expression should be practised for the citizens to always stay informed.
I as an individual contributed to the group by gathering different international sources to substantiate our argument as a group and have made effort of meeting with the other two members, Nqobile and Femida, to dicuss our article as a group.
