Students complete two online tests across the semester as part of their progressive learning and assessment for the course. The tests are delivered through the Blackboard exam tool and are written and maintained by the course coordinator. Test questions are developed within the decision-making framework introduced in the course. Each test opens for several days and students are given two attempts at each test.

Every week of semester students are required to use Padlet to write a reflection using concepts and theories from the week's lecture, readings, and from other resources such as academic and media articles, open blogs, images, video and social media.

In this assessment item students are asked to do a brief presentation on a character or theme from a course text. They are then asked questions (that they have not seen prior to the assessment) about the text and other course material. Both the presentation and question answers must be given in French. The task is designed to assess their comprehension of the course material and their fluency and spontaneity in French.

Designed to teach foundational research skills, provide capabilities in critical analysis, and prepare students for a major research essay, this assessment sees students locate four scholarly sources via disciplinary databases or on-campus library collections. Students must judiciously select and correctly reference these sources, conducting critical analysis on one oanalysis, and prepare students for a major research essay, this assessment sees students locate four scholarly sources via disciplinary databases or on-campus library collections. Students must judiciously select and correctly reference these sources, conducting critical analysis on one oanalysis on one of these.

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).

Following a larger essay assessment, students construct a 1000 word article on the same topic of their major assessment piece) intended for publication on the online platform The Conversation. This exercise introduces students to the challenge of writing for a specific audience, and communicating complex concepts with clarity and concision.

This task-based, computer assisted language learning assessment sees students record and upload weekly audio files responding to questions or prompts from course coordinators. This is a practical means of extending spoken language learning beyond contact hours in a way that provides students with personalised feedback and opportunities for rapport building.

The Virtual Business Enterprise (VBE) is a digital learning resource consisting of a number of small retail businesses. Each semester student groups are allocated a VBE business and these groups 'trade' in 2 sessions across the semester. After each session, a complete set of financial statements is generated for each business. The final set of financial statements is used as a starting point for the business plan assignment linked to the VBE exercise.

Delivered instead of weekly tutorials, students construct weekly Blackboard blog posts responding to a question and critically addressing key theoretical underpinnings from readings. Designed to elicit theoretically rich conversations, students use written styles similar to those from popular online forums as a means to participate in collegiate debates beyond academia.

Designed with an explicit focus on developing writing skills in first year students, this assessment adopts a design approach to a staged writing project. This assessment is divided into several scaffolded tasks that must be completed and submitted cumulatively throughout the semester.
