This module is summatively assessed through a portfolio of work, which constitutes 100% of the assessment mark. The portfolio consists of two parts:
Component 1: Group presentation (25%)
- Your group (maximum of five members) will be asked to undertake research and analyse data (quantitative and/or qualitative) on a topic that will require you to develop actionable managerial implications by carrying out practice-based research into the area of study.
- There will be 10 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of questions from your tutor.
Component 2: 3000-word individual project report (75%)
This component comprises two parts:
- 1500-word research report based on the research conducted by the group. Each member of the group will write their own report based on the group research findings, with a focus on one specific aspect of the area of study.
- It is expected that your conclusions and recommendations are based on research which includes academic journal articles and practitioner research.
- 1500-word individual self-reflection. This will be a personal reflection by each student on the skills and knowledge developed during the semester. The skills development must be evidenced by inclusion of supporting evidence of completion of relevant Graduate Futures online training courses within appendices.
- Appendices are not included in the word count but should be directly referenced in the self-reflection and therefore you will need to be purposeful and selective in what you include.
- You should ensure you keep description to a minimum and focus upon analysis in line with recognised reflective practice.
- You may write in the first person.
- 3000 words in total, excluding the reference list, appendices, and sub-headings.
This is an academic piece of work, and you will be expected to critically engage with a range of appropriate academic theory properly referenced using APA format.
You will also be expected to use secondary data to make original conclusions. Further information and guidance will be provided on Blackboard.
This is an individual piece of work.
