Evaluation of the work undertaken:

The idea of using videos was a creativ idea. It took time and committment to carry out the projet tot he end. It enhanced the chapter bringing a creative element to it. Students who participated were interessted in engagiing in the project. A student carried out the editing of the videos and brougnt them to completion. thus, it was a student orientated paspect of the project which we consider gave it a greater dimension.

The commpleted chapter 5 complements Chapter 1 of the Trainign Package and gives an opportunity to explore the topic from a different perspective
