Announcements
All announcements will be posted in the course resource centre after being shared via e-mail and the WhatsApp group.
Course WhatsApp Group
Joining the course's WhatsApp group offers several benefits that can enhance your learning experience. Firstly, it provides immediate and direct communication with the academy, ensuring you receive important updates promptly. You will also be notified of any cancellations or postponements of lectures, allowing you to stay informed and plan accordingly.
Additionally, the group serves as a platform for sharing ideas and collaborating with your coursemates, fostering a supportive learning community. We encourage you to join, by clicking on the button below, and actively participate in discussions, as this will enrich your academic journey.

Referencing Style
Throughout the study programme, all assessment submissions, including but not limited to assignments, presentations, and reflective notes, must be referenced using the Harvard referencing style. To understand this referencing method, please watch the short video by clicking the button below.
Modules
Below, you will find a link to the resource centre for each of the 9 modules in the study programme. These resource centres will be updated a few days before the first lecture of each module. In these centres, you will have access to lecture summaries, recommended reading lists, and any presentations or notes shared during the lectures, if applicable. These materials will be uploaded and made available after each lecture. Additionally, you will find links to the lecturers' biographies for each module, and where the assessment includes an assignment, there will be a link to download assignment questions and submission forms.
Submitting Assignments - Turnitin
The Academy will notify you via email when the assignment questions become available. Shortly after, you will receive another email from Turnitin, likely on the same day, confirming your enrolment in a "class" where you can upload your assignment(s).
Please ensure that your assignments are submitted no later than 23:59 on the assignment submission deadline, as indicated on the Assignment Submission form or in the Turnitin "class."
At 21 Academy, you have the option to submit multiple drafts before the final submission deadline. The version uploaded at the deadline will be treated as your final submission for assessment. Please note that Turnitin evaluates the same assignment twice within a 24-hour period, so any additional submissions during this time will not be reviewed until the 24-hour period has passed. Ensure that your final submission does not exceed 20% similarity, particularly when using direct quotations.
