Students are assigned an extract from a draft manuscript (developed by a practicing author), for which they produce a professional editorial report. Students actively use skills taught throughout the course to make reasoned suggestions that improve the quality of the work, and may ultimately be realised in published copy.

Designed explicitly to provide student flexibility and cater to diverse learning styles, this technique has students produce a piece of written or audio-visual content in response to a provocation from a course practicum or theoretical perspective. Content can take numerous forms including a blog, critical review, documentary, or reflexive essay.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) requires assessment in the field. This course assesses students on reflective journal and two clinical case studies.

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.

This Oral Exam format (approximately 10 minutes) tests mastery of ideas and texts while building oral presentation skills, especially rhetorical adroitness.

Students are randomly assigned 2 questions from a bank of questions that cover most of the course material. They are then asked to write their answers on the blank paper provided. Students are observed whilst writing. Each student is then questioned for 15 minutes, and this oral component is video recorded. They are first questioned about their written responses and must defend their answers (staff highlight any mistakes or gaps in their responses). They are then asked further questions about other aspects of the course.  

This authentic assessment sees students work collaboratively in groups to engage an external participant group in the production of media output based on topical and generative themes selected by the organisation participant through processes of facilitation and discussion.

Designed as a low weighted, in-class activity to increase student engagement and to foster skills in facilitation and leadership, this assessment sees students take on the role of leading various small activities. These may include preparing the learning environment, facilitating a class warm-up activity, or hosting a mid-class break.

This authentic assessment sees students work both individually and in small groups to produce a governmental policy submission. This scaffolded assessment includes a number of progressive tasks due throughout the semester, including a brief oral presentation, a draft policy proposal, a background and issues document, and the final policy submission.

This student-driven assessment is designed to promote confidence and competence in peer-led practical demonstration. It comprises a lesson plan or seminar notes, and a 15-20 minute teaching demonstration that aligns with a curriculum or discipline. Students showcase their demonstration to peers in class time and facilitate interactive participation and discussion.
