Students are required to complete an individual assignment (20%) on conducting fundamental analysis of a listed company. This company will later be included in the team project (20%) for students to conduct extensive analysis. The team project is followed by a live Q&A session (10%) and a compulsory peer assessment evaluation. These authentic assessments use real-world data to encourage students to think critically and apply textbook-based knowledge to real-world situations.

In small groups (2-4) students liaise with an external client organisation and conduct stakeholder engagement to produce a report or output that aligns with client needs.

In small groups students prepare an oral presentation in which they draw on key disciplinary outputs to discuss a topic relevant to the course content. Additionally, students must individually provide peer feedback/reflections for two other group presentations, the form of which is to be decided by the student.

Collectively worth 10%, this assessment replaces tutorial participation marks. It encourages collaborative reflexivity through weekly electronic group journals and peer assessment. In small groups students craft 200-300 word responses to experiential questions, uploading to Blackboard. Suited to introductory/elective courses, this technique focuses on applying foundational disciplinary knowledge to personal experience.

Students choose a specific theory, or theoretical perspective, and apply this to an object analysis (of a cultural object, practice, or phenomena). This analysis is to be presented in the format of a poster. Students field questions from staff and students in relation to their poster during a roaming exhibition stanalysis (of a cultural object, practice, or phenomena). This analysis is to be presented in the format of a poster. Students field questions from staff and students in relation to their poster during a roaming exhibition style Q&A.

This assessment is primarily designed to test students' compositional dexterity by focusing on emulating the selected genre. A portion of the overall mark is allocated for originality and creativity. While students must adhere to stylistic requirements they are free to write on a topic of their choosing, thus offering a personalised approach to learning.
