Seminar Submission (written or negotiated)

Seminar Submission (written or negotiated)

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

Team or Group based

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.
