Part 2 Group academic presentation Weighting: 30% Word count: 10-15 minutes maximum Task Description You are to prepare a PowerPoint presentation and to record this with your voice over using the real business communication issue that you researched in Part 1 of Assessment 0: Group academic essay. Based on feedback received from Part 1, you can make any changes that you feel are necessary for your presentation. For all students, the Moodle submission of your PowerPoint file with voiceover will be due at 2 pm AEST Friday Week 8.Students can record their presentation through PowerPoint's "Record Slide Show” function, and submit their PowerPoint file (with recording) through the Unit Moodle website. Students may prefer to use other technologies such as Zoom or Camtasia. One copy of the presentation can be uploaded and it must clearly identify all members of the group, with full name (as appears on University enrolment) and student numbers. Multiple submissions of the same report can trigger academic misconduct or plagiarism investigations. However, on campus students will also deliver their presentation in a regularly scheduled class from Week 8 onwards, depending on their local lecturer/tutor's scheduling. Distance students will be asked to present during a weekly Zoom session from Week 8 onwards in their Thursday session or if you are not available at that time, at a time which is mutually convenient. This is pass fail activity. • On-campus students MUST be present for their presentations, actively participate and be available to answer questions, to receive a grade for the presentation component of this assessment. • Similarly distance students must be in a group and upload their presentation and supporting materials by the due date. Distance students MUST be available to present during their Thursday Zoom session or at a time which is mutually convenient. Due Week 8 of term on Friday at 2PM AEST. Notes: • You do not need to read the in-text referencing or references on the slides when recording your voice for the PPT presentation. • When recording, you should use a headset with microphone preferably or speak loudly if you use the inbuilt microphone on your laptop/computer. Please make sure your voice is clear, can be heard and understood when playing the Powerpoint slides BEFORE you upload your work into Moodle. • The Powerpoint slides and Word script will need to be uploaded in Moodle under the “Assessment 0: Part 2” link. • Do NOT insert your audio as a .wav file into the slides because we will not be able to hear you if it is not embedded in the file. To check if it works, you could send your PPT file to a friend and see if they can hear it. Please do not send to the Lecturer or Unit Co-ordinator to check. • For hints on how to convert a PowerPoint slide to a presentation with voice over, please view the link below.

Title of presentation, student names as shown in Moodle plus student ID numbers • 2. Introduction • 3. Real business issue that the group is addressing • 4. Communication model used • 5.

As Masters students you are required to engage in research as per the Australia Quality Framework (AQF) guidelines. Students need to demonstrate “a body of knowledge that includes the understanding of recent developments in a discipline and/or area of professional practice, and demonstrate "knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to a field of work and/or learning”. Each unit in the MBA has a number of required weekly readings in terms of academic texts, journals and business publications that represent the appropriate body of knowledge and recent developments referred to by the AQF. In order to demonstrate the ability to engage in appropriate research, students should read and utilise these texts and journals and publications, and as Masters students, indicate a willingness to research beyond this minimum standard through additional texts, journals and studies that demonstrate an ability to engage in independent research. Students should insure that they understand the specific research that is required for each assessment piece and recognise that if they meet this minimum requirement, you will receive the minimum grade for demonstrated research. Your attention is drawn to the University’s stated position on plagiarism.
