Online Independent Research work for RH1304M & RZ1304M

Hi All Students,

As part of your Module requirements, there are 4h of Independent Research work that you are supposed to carry out on your own, We can use these hours to work on the following:
a) Look up websites that give good information on the harmful effects of smoking and list them under "comments" link in this post. Look for at least 3 and post the links.
b) For each of these websites, tell me their good points and bad points about the site - for e.g. it is easy to navigate around; it contains plenty of useful info; the colour scheme is not attractive, etc.
c) Look for videos that contain relevant information/advice about smoking and post their links. Look for at least 3 videos.
d) For each of these videos, give a comment on it and share what you have learnt from it.

Items a&b will count towards one attendance and items c&d will count towards another. Do both for your 4h worth of attendance.

Happy searching!

Picture for all of us

Thank you Everyone! 

You made this term so wonderful! 

All the best for the next journey.
