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.

Interview-based Research Project
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.

Invigilated (in-class or Zoom) listening test
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.

Making Policy Decision as a Central Banker
In this assessment, students play the role of a central banker. They are required to identify and use appropriate data and information to analyse the state of the Australian economy, decide the next appropriate monetary policy action, and to communicate their decision and rationales in the format of a policy statement similar to the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary policy media release/statement.

Management Team Meeting
Following a Team-Based Learning (TBL) pedagogy, students are placed into teams of 6-9, and act as the Executive of an Organisation. Confronted by changes in the organisation's internal and external environments, they apply theory from key frameworks in strategic management theory to make strategic decisions on behalf of their organisation.
Assessment method
Manuscript Editing and Editorial Report
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.
