to improve your understanding and clarify requirements, but solutions to activities must be
done individually. You must not copy from anyone, including tutors and fellow students, nor
allow others to copy your work. All Assignments will be checked using collusion
monitoring tools to ensure that each assignment is the original work of the submitting student.

Online Presentations
You will be given three (3) online activities that you will be required to create a presentation using
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, 2010 or 2013, including annotated speaker notes, throughout the
semester. Each presentation should be the equivalent of a 7 ½ to 10 minute presentation in length.
Each presentation will be worth 21 marks towards the final grade for this assessment item, with a
further 4 marks for peer evaluation being awarded.
The online activities will be made up of three (3) of the twelve (12) case study questions as outlined at
the end of each study module in the study materials.
External students will be designated three (3) case studies each, and the week that the presentations
must be submitted, in the first week of the semester..
Students must use the Critical Thinking questions to be addressed within the presentation that are
provided in the weekly student handouts and not the textbook.
It is important that you complete the practical work for weeks 1 – 2 before attempting the in-class
activities proposed.
Online Presentation Structure
Students must prepare their presentations so that they conform to the course StudyDesk presentation
resources. These resources include, but are not limited to, presentation guidelines, marking scheme,
appendix one, and various videos.
Each online activity presentations set of slides should be structured as follows:
Title– outlining the full Case Study Name and Module
List of Topics
Case Study Summation – fully summarising the key concepts of the Case Study (including
annotated speaker notes)
Case Study Critical Thinking Questions – fully answering the 5 Critical Thinking Questions
from the weekly student handouts and not the textbook (including annotated speaker notes)
Summary of Presentation
Audience QuestionsMarking Guidelines
This assignment will be marked out of 21.
If all criteria are satisfied you will receive 21 marks. If not all criteria are met, part marks may be
given. Check your own submission against these criteria before you submit.
Completion of reviews will earn an extra 4 marks. Marks will be lost for each of the following:
Failure to complete the peer assessment rubric correctly, such as ticking more than one tick
box or failing to tick an appropriate tick box in each assessment element.
Limited comments provided as feedback for the peer review (see instructions below for what
is required in peer assessment comments).
Where it is obvious that a student has completed a review without examining the necessary file,
review marks will be removed.
All submissions and reviews are candidates for random moderation. Where two reviews are
conflicting, instructor moderation will be applied.
A final mark out of 75 (scaled to a percentage out of 15%) will be awarded at the end of the semester.
Peer Reviews
For these activities you will be required to complete reviews of students' presentation activities for
each for the three (3) activities.
You will be asked to consider the criteria below when completing reviews.
Be sure you are accurate in completing your reviews. In your comment at the end of the review take
care to offer positive feedback and suggestions for improvement to your peers. They are learning, just
as you are. You may describe how your presentation differed from theirs.
The Praise-Instruct-Praise (PIP) method is a good way of providing feedback for these peer reviews.
It is very helpful as it is constructive yet doesn't get people offside. So when reviewing external
presentations - find something good to comment on, find an area for improvement, and end with
praise.
