One of the most common criticisms of law students on clinical placements is that they lack telephone communication skills. Speaking confidently over the telephone is an important part of working with clients, especially in law where advice is often provided over the phone. The 'phone a friend' task meets two aims at once: ensuring students have prepared for class, and encouraging them to develop their oral communication skills when using the telephone.

In small groups students present an article review in dedicated tutorial time. Groups create a Pinterest page in which they collate and curate digital material relevant to their topic. Audience members use Padlet (an online notation tool) to comment on presentations in real time (via personal smartphones) to inform discussion.

Students use artifacts as points of inspiration for short (500 word) written pieces relevant to their discipline. Students are marked on their written expression and adherence to conventions of the genre. Works are also recited during tutorials and students marked on how well they engage others through their spoken delivery.

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.

Authentic assessment, group / team work, environmental impact on public health, improving health outcomes, vlogging, scaffolding, presentation, applying learning to practice, linking course materials and learning activities with the learning objectives.

Student teams will practice with and apply our brand strategy model and methods to a real world brand of their choosing. The project involves qualitative and quantitative consumer research, so that students learn brand analysis not based on the students' own opinions of the brand but on the evidence of consumer perceptions of the brand. Students analyse the current brand strategy and recommend a complete brand strategy plan. This project will help students learn the theory, will help students understand how it is applied, and will help students acquire the skill of how to do a brand audit.

The Clinical Case Presentation (CCP) is an exercise in which students demonstrate their skills in assessing a patient's problem/s, with specific emphasis on the relevant clinical and investigative findings, the diagnosis and the current and potential future management plans. Furthermore, the student is expected to read around the surgically relevant or related aspects of the case and be expected to discuss these with the examiner during the presentation.

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).

Students are set discipline-specific problem-based exercises for completion during class. The objective is to craft a written response (1500 words) to the problem, or use group collaboration to develop and deliver a 10-15 minute presentation proposing a solution. This assessment requires active problem solving and engagement with relevant web sources.

ENGG1600 is a course which embeds research into the undergraduate degree in first year. Assessment is authentic - no exam - instead students work towards a final conference at which they present and for which they have had to write a conference paper (using Nature guidelines).
