Deakin University, Faculty of Arts and Education ASR100 World Religions - Trimester 3, 2019 18 October 2019 Page 2 of 8 WELCOME Welcome to ASR100 World Religions! We hope you will enjoy this unit and not only learn something about the beliefs and practices of the five great world religions, but also critically engage with some of the key ideas of religious thinkers, east and west. This Unit Guide explains the aims of the unit and describes the assessment requirements. It’s a good idea to read the unit guide thoroughly. Please be sure to check your Deakin email and the ASR100 Cloudsite regularly. As this is an online unit we communicate with you via email and the Cloudsite. If you are not checking these on a regular basis you could miss out on important information. We hope that you find World Religions interesting, challenging, and rewarding. Looking forward to working with you all! Dr Leesa Davis This Unit Guide provides you with the key information about this Unit. For the best chance of success, you should read it very carefully and refer to it frequently throughout the trimester. Your Unit site (accessed in DeakinSync) also provides information about your rights and responsibilities - we will assume you have read this before the Unit commences, and we expect you to refer to it throughout the trimester.

The unit Deakin University, Faculty of Arts and Education ASR100 World Religions - Trimester 3, 2019 18 October 2019 Page 3 of 8 explores these religions by looking at their historical development, basic ideas, practices and sacred texts. In addition, students are introduced to a range of philosophical issues that arise within these religious traditions, such as: karma and rebirth; the relation between self and world, and self and God; different conceptions of God; and different conceptions of salvation or liberation. Unit development in response to student feedback Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link). We are always willing to help students who are in difficulty but remember the earlier you contact us the more we can help. Please contact the unit chair as soon as possible if you have any difficulties with your studies: leesa.davis@deakin.edu.au Over time, we have made some changes to World Religions based on student feedback: we have changed the assessment to two essays instead of the essay/exam format and we have linked some short answer assessment questions to the video matrix. This gives you the opportunity to write on both the Dharmic and the Abrahamic traditions and to engage more fully with the lived perspectives of our religions. Students have reported that studying World Religions from historical, philosophical and lived viewpoints has enriched the ways that they think about religion and religions and given them a more critical understanding of how religions shape events in our own communities and in the world. Religious literacy is an important skill in navigating the modern world and studying ASR100 World Religions gives you a very good foundation to build this valuable skill-set. If you have any concerns about the unit during the trimester please contact the unit teaching team - preferably early in the trimester - so we can discuss your concerns, and make adjustments, if appropriate.
