The key aspect of reflection is a critical evaluation of the self. Students will choose their individual cases between weeks 2-5 and will be using them for the assignment.

Students are to reflect on their decisions by examining their understanding and perceived assumptions about data and ethics in their respective organisations or business setting. Students are to provide a conclusion based on the ethical principles and theories discussed in class.

· Provide a reflection of the ethical dilemma, why the organisation/company made the decision and whether they adopt approaches given the concepts studied in class.

· The use of between 5-10 quality references including key readings and recommended texts using APA referencing and including a reference list.

· These are the minimum requirements. Students should note that satisfactorily meeting the minimum requirements will typically result in the minimum pass grade being awarded.

All students will be allocated to a group by the unit coordinator in Week 6 of term. These groups will be non-negotiable.

Students will undertake analysis of an organisation examining its engagement through its ethical aspects of data, its collection, management and uses to a range of stakeholders.

This assignment requires an analysis of the organisation's implementation of these policies and procedures against the concepts examined in the literatures.

Each group will be afforded 15-20 minutes to present and must submit an Executive Report of approximately 1000 words with a detailed reference list. A copy of the presentation must be provided to the unit coordinator prior to the presentation. Each student must be in a group and present as part of that group.

This is the minimum standard expected for this assignment. Students who only meet the minimum, should expect to receive the minimum pass grade.

As Masters students, you are required to engage in research as per the Australia Quality Framework (AQF) guidelines.

Two specific requirements need to be considered:

· students need to demonstrate a body of knowledge that includes the understanding of the existing concepts, principles and theories in the data science discipline and/or area of professional practice, and;

· demonstrate knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to a field of work and/or learning.

Please note that Presentations are undertaken by online or a prerecorded presentation. Students are to submit via the assessment folder in Moodle by the due date.

Please note a late penalty of 5% per day applies for each day or part-day (including weekends) for assignments submitted after the due date.

Students are to demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter, and show effective presentation skills by:

· Providing a concise and structured presentation with introduction, main presentation and conclusion.

· Effectively using audio visuals and verbal communication delivered within the time allocation (15-20 mins per group).

· Identifying of company strengths and weaknesses against the CSR/Sustainability analytical frame. Providing a clear set of recommendations supported by literature (if and when appropriate)

· Demonstrating a commitment to professional business presentation standard.

· Ensuring all group members to make a balanced contribution in the presentation.

· A copy of the presentation (PowerPoints) MUST be provided to the unit coordinator prior to the presentation.

Students are to demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter, and effective written skills by:

· Providing a concise overview of the content of the presentation of approximately 1000 words using key concepts and theories as an analytical framework.

· Identifying the ethical grey areas and contending issues in the case study supported by the literature.

· Using a minimum of 12-16 quality references made up of recommended texts and academic journal articles so as to demonstrate breadth and quality of research, including citation of the recommended texts

· The use of the APA in text referencing system to correctly cite academic sources.

In Week 13 (9 June 2022) a case study will be distributed to all students but without any questions. You will have approximately 2 weeks to familiarise yourself with the case and the events and decisions described in the scenario.

During Exam Week on a specific date, you will be asked to answer a series of questions requiring you to apply your understanding of the unit content directly to the case. These questions will be made available 10 minutes prior to the opening of the submission.

This will be a time-limited submission. You will have 210 minutes (3.5 hours) to respond to a series of questions regarding the case that will require integrated answers utilising a variety of ethical concepts from the unit. You may use texts, journals, and notes in responding to the questions.

As this is an open book style response, accurate use of concepts, terms, and models is expected.

The focus of the assessment is on the correct application of data and ethics terms, concepts, theories, and analysis.

Referencing is not required for this assessment.

However, any submission forwarded after the scheduled submission due date will not be accepted. Please kindly be advised.

Please note as this is an open book style response, students are expected to demonstrate ethical concepts and their data application correctly as a basic standard. The key assessment criteria include:

· The correct use of key ethical concepts and theories as an analytical frame to identify ethical issues in the case

· The correct use of key data science concepts and theories as an analytical frame

· Provide options in the decision making

Students must note that advocating unethical or illegal practices as solutions or recommendations to case dilemmas is not acceptable.
