ASSESSMENT 1: STATUS REPORTS
Purpose:
A number of status reports are required to be produced each group throughout the semester to document progress. Each student is expected to assist the team to achieve its goals by accepting and completing a reasonable share of the tasks and activities necessary to produce a functional project. Part of these responsibilities includes actively contributing to the administration of the team. The group can only be awarded marks for status reports if they: a) submit report on time, and b) discuss progress in class.
ASSESSMENT 2: RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Purpose:
The research team will develop a complete proposal in their chosen project including research question(s), problem statement, research methods and project plan. While suggestions for projects will be provided by Unit Coordinator, it is the responsibility of the students to determine the problem to be solved. All team members must be actively involved in writing of the proposal. See the Assessment Document in Blackboard for further information.
ASSESSMENT 3: FINAL REPORT
ASSESSMENT 3: DESCRIPTION
Purpose:
The final report provides detailed information on the conduct of research, research methods, literature review, problem solution and analysis and interpretation of results. Students doing a research project will produce best practice or recommendations in relation to their research problem, while students doing an IS project will deliver and describe a working solution. See the Assessment Document in Blackboard for further information.
ASSESSMENT 4: PRESENTATION AND DEMONSTRATION
Purpose:
Each team (including ALL students) will present their final solution. In a research-based project the group will report on the conduct of the research, data collection and the analysis and interpretation of results. Groups undertaking an IS project will be required to perform a demonstration of their solution as part of the presentation. See the Assessment Document in Blackboard for further information.
ASSESSMENT 5: SELF-REFLECTION JOURNAL
Each student will submit a journal that documents, reviews, and evaluates their contribution and experiences in being a part of the project team
