Summary. The point of this assessment is that you reflect back on the Wix website and Community Project that you created together with your group and submitted in Week 11. This reflection should be in the format of the report and include the sections indicated below. To pass this assignment, you need not only to reflect on your group's website and community project but, most importantly, link it back to your understanding of the broader themes of the unit that you studied in Weeks 1 to 11 in the lectures and tutorials. In other words, you need to show how your group's website and community project make use of the key ideas, terms and theories that you studied through the lectures and set readings.

Your report should be 1000 words (+/- 10%) and employ at least five scholarly readings set for the unit, not including those that you have used in the previous assignments. In other words, you should not use readings from your Week 3 presentation and literature reviews.
You are allowed and recommended to use the weekly readings for the unit (from Weeks 1 to 11). However, you are also encouraged to search for the academic readings yourself, if you are interested in a certain concept or idea from the unit and want to reflect on it in more details. You should employ all the readings in the text of your report through direct quotations and paraphrases.
Structure of the report. Your report should include a formally written discussion comprising the following sections. Sections 2–5 of your report, where feasible and reasonable, should each be supported with at least one academic (scholarly) reading, and you should employ at least five academic readings altogether.
