The 'AI Debate' is an authentic, interactive assessment in which students examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping individuals, organisations and the future workforce. Through a live debate and AI-supported reflection, students critically evaluate competing perspectives, communicate evidence-based arguments, and demonstrate independent judgement, constructive engagement and critical literacy.

Delivered in an active learning environment, this work-integrated learning experience and authentic assessment task requires preparation of a written and diagrammatic report. Students critically analyse a given construction detail in 4-dimensions using an interactive digital learning environment, then apply their learning to a 3-dimensional analysis and resolution of two construction details derived from a team-based schematic design completed in the previous assignment.

The Management Consultant Briefing is an authentic Interactive Oral Assessment where students act as tourism consultants, presenting evidence-based recommendations to improve visitor experiences. Engaging in a professional conversation, students apply disciplinary knowledge, justify decisions, and respond to client questions while developing industry-relevant communication, problem-solving, and professional skills.

The ‘Practical Demonstration’ is an authentic, inclusive and secure assessment where students act as business analysts, responding to a workplace-style briefing using a previously unseen dataset. Working under invigilated exam conditions, students apply data analysis, visualisation, predictive modelling, and communication skills to deliver evidence-based insights for decision-making while demonstrating industry-relevant analytical, problem-solving, and professional capabilities.

Students submit an argumentative piece on a contemporary topic relevant to their discipline of study. Pending staff approval, students can submit this assessment in a number of written or multimodal formats such as an editorial for The Conversation, a government report, or a short audio-visual documentary.

In addition to producing their own piece of creative or academic writing, students work in pairs to provide a detailed feedback report of their partner's draft written assessment. Students are assessed on both the final written piece and on the report they produce for their student partners.

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.

Students travel to a relevant cultural institution or public space (e.g. gallery, museum, landmark), imagining they are appointed as industry experts, curators, attachés or tour guides. In groups, each student delivers a brief presentation on an assigned piece (e.g. artwork, artefact, or monument) so as to replicate professional presentation contexts.
