Clinical Project Using Action Learning

As part of a progressive series of seminars, this assessment item acts as the culminating piece for each seminar. The default submission format is a written piece lodged via Turn-It-In of between 750-1500 words - with greater weight allocated to the assessment items as the seminars progress. Because of the nature of the cohort (practising sport coaches) and the level of the program (post-graduate study), students are offered a degree of choice within each seminar (e.g. topic focus and submission format). Students are supported through this process through the seminar structure of reading week, discussion week, assessment week).

Online Simulation

This assessment consists of three assessable tasks linked to an online airline simulation that learners complete throughout the semester. Learners are grouped into teams to set up, manage and operate their airline. The first assessment task is a 5-6 minute video proposal and contributes 15% of the final grade for the unit. The next assessment task requires students to write an annual report based on the performance of their airline after four quarters. This task is weighted at 15% and is also a team-based assessment. A further 10% is allocated to teams based on various simulation performance metrics.

Examining Cases: Non-ideal Medical Ethics

This end-of-semester examination involves providing students with a court ruling on a medical case that most will not have come across until that point. Students are expected to read the case under exam conditions, and bring their learning over the course of the semester to bear on their interpretation of the salient medical and legal points raised, determining their ethical implications. This is then tested over a number of multiple choice questions delivered via Examsoft.

Industry Partnered Feasibility Analysis

Business, Economics and Law

Industry Partnered Feasibility Analysis

This is a live industry assessment that required students to work on a feasibility analysis for an innovation for a Tourism or Hospitality organisation. Students worked in self assigned teams of four to develop a 4000 word report that provided our industry partners with a market analysis, an analysis of the Political, Economic, Social and Technological (PEST) environments and recommendations as to how best develop the innovation and take it to market. This WIL industry partnered assessment resulted in the development of student / industry relationships as students were encouraged to engage with their allocated industry partner to guide the focus of their reports.
