General Notes

The assignment comprises two components, a group written professional report (Part 1; 25
marks; assessed as a team) and an oral presentation (Part 2; 15 marks; assessed individually).
Your team is required to write a fully referenced and well-structured professional report on
your chosen topic and to make an oral presentation on your report.

The sources of information that you use for your presentation are your written professional
report.
Professional Report (25 marks)

The submission must be a professionally written report. The report should be prepared jointly
by all team members and will be assessed as team work. The report should be AT LEAST
3,000 words in length (excluding references and appendices). Page numbers are mandatory.
You are encouraged to discuss the assignment with the teaching staff and other team
members. The use of illustrations such as figures and tables, and other graphical information
is encouraged to aid in your explanation and enliven your writing as well as to aid in the
assessors understanding of the report. You should also use headings (including main and sub-
headings) where appropriate to effectively structure and organise the various sections of your
report. The words you choose for the main and sub-headings should be able to succinctly
reflect what you are trying to express in the various sections of the report. Remember, the
report must be written in the third person and a logical and systemic format, which can be
easily understood for assessment. Referencing correctly is equally important. Your report
does not have to be overly referenced. However, the source of the information referred to in
your report should be made clear. You must adopt the

Harvard style for referencing. The report should be in a PDF format and submitted
electronically on vUWS through Turnitin by the due date and time. Each team only
needs to lodge one submission. Student names, student IDs, assignment team number, and
report topic should be on the cover page.

PowerPoint Presentation (15 marks)

Presentations are in PowerPoint format. The presentation should be prepared and delivered as
a team and will be assessed individually. Each group member will have four (4) minutes to
present.

Teaming up

For this assignment, you are required to work in a team of up to seven (7) students who are
formally enrolled in this unit.

You are required to form your own team by enrolling yourself into a group by Week 1 and
Week 2. If you fail to enrol yourself into a group by the due date, the teaching staff will help
you by randomly enrolling you into a group with vacancies. If you wish to change your group
membership, you must discuss it with the unit coordinator and seek his formal written
approval. The unit coordinator will decide at his discretion whether or not to approve the
proposed change on a case-by-case basis. Changing group membership without the unit
coordinators approval may result in being awarded zero (0) mark for your assignment. A
group list will be publicised on vUWS and regularly updated until

Each team MUST have a team leader who will be managing and coordinating the team.
Upon forming up your team, the team leader is required to contact the unit coordinator via
email. There is an e-learning student support website which will help with your use of
vUWS. Refer to the following web link:

please feel free to contact the unit coordinator. You may be required to assess your group
members on their individual contribution to the group assignment, particularly when you
have relevant concerns. Based on such assessment, individual members may receive an
individual mark higher or lower than the group mark. Concerns are usually NOT considered
after your group’s final submission.
