KNoT Completion Evidence
The KNoT Completion Evidence is the compilation of completion tasks for the KNoTs that you have completed over the semester. It might help you to coalesce some ideas around your Major Work.
The KNoT Completion Evidence task requires you to collate the evidence of your completion of KNoTs. You can choose to submit this as you go (Option 1) or at the end of the semester/session (Option 2).

Task Overview
This task ties together the KNoTs that you have completed. Depending on which pathway you have selected, the requirements differ slightly.
Students who have selected the Skills Pathway are expected to complete at least 8 KNoTs and at least 40 hours of their Project over the semester/session.
Please include:
- A collation of the Completion Activities for each KNoT you have completed (typically 250-500 words per KNoT or about 1 page per KNoT)
- An holistic reflection on your Project with respect to the KNoTs you have completed (typically 250-500 words or about 1 page). If appropriate, include any work product from your Project that you think are relevant to demonstrate your learning (e.g., plans, photos, videos, reports, designs, etc.) as an appendix
- A final reflection on your learning journey through the KNoTs you have completed (typically 500 words or about 2 pages)
Students on the Skills Pathway typically undertake a Shareable Artefact that is a cross-cutting exploration of themes from any of the KNoTs they have completed, which may or may not include the Project.
Students who have selected the Project Pathway are expected to complete at least 4 KNoTs and at least 80 hours of their Project over the semester/session.
Please include:
- A collation of the Completion Activities for each KNoT you have completed (typically 250-500 words per KNoT or about 1 page)
- A reflection on your Project with respect to the KNoTs you have completed (typically 250-500 words or about 1 page)
- If applicable, include any work product from your Project that you think are relevant to demonstrate your learning (e.g., plans, photos, videos, reports, designs, etc.) as an appendix
- A final reflection on your learning journey through the KNoTs you have completed (typically 500 words or about 2 pages)
Students on the Project Pathway typically undertake a Shareable Artefact that strongly aligns to their Project. It may make more sense to integrate reflections on your Project into your Shareable Artefact submission.
Students who have selected the Flexible Pathway balance the value of KNoTs with their Project over the semester/session.
Please include:
- A collation of the Completion Activities for each KNoT you have completed (typically 250-500 words per KNoT or about 1 page)
- A reflection on your Project with respect to the KNoTs you have completed (typically 250-500 words or about 1 page)
- If applicable, include any work product from your Project that you think are relevant to demonstrate your learning (e.g., plans, photos, videos, reports, designs, etc.) as an appendix
- A final reflection on your learning journey through the KNoTs you have completed (typically 500 words or about 2 pages)
Students on the Flexible Pathway typically undertake a Shareable Artefact that aligns to their personal learning goals. It may make more sense to integrate aspects of the Project into your Shareable Artefact submission.
Guidance on the reflection
The reflection component is to look back on your journey and take an holistic view. This should not be an onerous task, more an opportunity to draw a thread through the course, and tie the knot (so to speak).
Your reflection can take any form, but you might find a prompt useful. Consider:
- how your plan changed or developed over the course
- serendipitous opportunities that you have either worked out or not worked out as you expected
- ideas that you have collected throughout the course
- KNoTs that you would like to see included, or that you wish you could create
- how you might take your learning in SoCIETIE further
- advice that you would give a future student
Reflection is a fantastic activity to promote learning - it is an opportunity for you to think about your thinking /after/ thinking. Kolb’s famous experiential learning cycle shows that when learning you need to go through four distinct stages: Abstract conceptualisation (Thinking), Active experimentation (Doing), Concrete experience (Feeling), Reflective observation (Watching). This is a chance to go through this cycle throughout the course as you develop ideas for your portfolio and about Complexity
