The groups will be formed at the beginning of the trimester and should sustain for all the group activities across the study period. The case study/topic for the Group report will be negotiated after group formation. No two groups can choose to work on the same case study/topic. Students will need to analyse the case study and come up with appropriate solutions to the questions. Your solutions must be based on sound application of theoretical principles to the practical issues and supported by suitably referenced arguments. You will work with your group to prepare a power point presentation to be made in-class. A summary of your solutions must be prepared as a report (within 1000 words) and submitted on the day of the presentation on Moodle. ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION: You have to nominate someone as your group leader to coordinate the assignment submission. Group Presentations will be organised in a pre-arranged time between weeks 6 and 8. Your presentation must be created in electronic format (e.g., MS PowerPoint) and you are required to bring the file in a portable storage device (e.g., USB drive) on the presentation day. This assessment is a group activity and students are required to work with their respective groups. No individual submission will be accepted. You will not receive any marks for this assignment if your group members collectively report against you for non-participation or non-cooperation. You will not receive any marks if you are absent during your scheduled presentation time or come in late. However, consideration may be offered only under medical ground or other extenuating circumstances. You must provide appropriate supporting paper for consideration. Presentation slides and the summary report must be submitted online on Moodle. All materials MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Office format. Other formats may not be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other formats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in Microsoft Office format. No paper based or hardcopy submission will be accepted. Our Academic Learning Support (ALS) team would be happy to help you with understanding the task and all other assessment-related matters.

The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We strongly recommend you to refer to the Academic Learning Skills materials available in the Moodle. For details please click the link http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/course/view.php?id=5 and download the file “Harvard Referencing Workbook”. Appropriate academic writing and referencing are inevitable academic skills that you must develop and demonstrate. We recommend a minimum of FIVE references, unless instructed differently by your lecturer. Unless specifically instructed otherwise by your lecturer, any paper with less than FIVE references may be failed. Work that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the “Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalised. Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count – as a general rule you may go over or under by 10% than the stated length. GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING High quality work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We recommend you work with your Academic Learning Support (ALS) site (http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/course/view.php?id=5) available in Moodle to ensure that you reference correctly. References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a reference, but not the lecturer notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of conducting your own research. Also, in order to help markers determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original. Before preparing your assignment or own contribution, please review this ‘YouTube’ video by clicking on the following link: Plagiarism: How to avoid it PLAGIARISM: HOW TO AVOID IT You can search for peer-reviewed journal articles, which you can find in the online journal databases and which can be accessed from the library homepage. Wikipedia, online dictionaries and online encyclopaedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic, but should not be overused – these should constitute no more than 10% of your total list of references/sources. Additional information and literature can be used where these are produced by legitimate sources, such as government departments, research institutes such as the NHMRC, or international organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO). Legitimate organisations and government departments produce peer reviewed reports and articles and are therefore very useful and mostly very current. The content of the following link explains why it is not acceptable to use non-peer reviewed websites: Why can't I just Google? (thanks to La Trobe University for this video).
