This task is designed to allow students to demonstrate theoretical and methodological understandings of key themes and provocations from the course through an applied activity mimicking professional practice. Students select from a list of hypothetical scenarios (developed by the course coordinator) and construct a 3000 word report in response.

Students are asked to write a response to a question about their assigned reading during their tutorial.

This task sees students produce a language translation from a 500-700 word source text, accompanied by a commentary (also 500-700 words) in either English or the language of study. The commentary must provide full bibliographic information and a general overview of the source text including its genre and stylistic construction.

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.

Real world interactive scenario for professional and ethical decision making challenges. Built for 4th year Dentistry students and assessed with a personal reflection driven by targeted questions, and with a marking matrix embedded.

This learning experience (and accompanying assessment) sees students travel to an oversees destination and engage in extended, experiential learning . Students are required to complete a combination of on-site assessment such as practical fieldwork , fieldwork journals and presentations, as well off-site assessment such as final research essays based on fieldwork.

Students carry out and analyse four interviews (with individuals selected on the basis of discipline). The assessment consists of four stages: developing a semi-structured interview schedule and locating interviewees; conducting and recording interviews; creating verbatim transcripts; and performing qualitative analysis to produce a 1000 word field report of their findings.

In-class listening comprehension test, delivered via Blackboard Quiz or Inspera: students watch a short video in French and answer questions about it. Students use their own devices to watch the video and access the test, but are supervised (either in the classroom or via Zoom) by course staff. Internal students use headphones, external students turn their microphones off, but cameras on.

Students who have completed their semester abroad reflect on this experience to provide concrete advice on the Study Abroad experience in a pre-departure briefing or information session for students who are currently considering an exchange experience.
