Notes:

Assessment: The system keeps records of your tests' scores.

All times shown are in Australian Eastern Standard Time – you may need to adjust for your own time zones if completing the online tests.

Each test has a time limit of 60 minutes and can only be taken once.

Please do not open the test until you are ready to complete the entire test.

Only 1 attempt at each test is allowed.

You must aim to have the quiz tests completed by the closing date;

There is no penalty for a wrong answer;

Important Advice:

You need to study the textbook, PowerPoint slides, and this course profile carefully;

There will be no sample quizzes.

You do not have the option of multiple attempts in this piece of assessment.

Responsibility for access, ISP, browsers, connection and the computer you use (irrespective of who owns it) remains with the student. Failure of equipment is not grounds for special consideration, extensions of tests or special arrangements. Use of computers/computer labs on university campuses does not absolve students of their responsibility for having reliable and continued access to the worldwide web;

Do not wait until the last minute. The course coordinator will not open quizzes again for problems related to LAST MINUTE ATTEMPTS. Special consideration or arrangements will not be granted where the student attempts to complete the online test WITHIN THE LAST 48 HOURS of the test and encounters problems that cannot be resolved before the expiry of the online test.

Refer system access problems (e.g. MOODLE login or password issues) to the Client Service Centre at tasac@cqu.edu.au as early as possible.

“My computer has frozen up during an online test – what do I do?” The first thing to do is “don’t panic”! Email the course coordinator immediately for assistance identifying YOUR FULL NAME, STUDENT NUMBER, COURSE CODE, CAMPUS, THE QUIZ NUMBER AND THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. Any omissions of this required information may delay a response.

You must aim to have the quiz tests completed by the closing date.

If a student requests a reset of their quiz and the Course Coordinator agrees to that request, but subsequently the student does not complete the test within the deadline, it will be deemed that the test has not been completed and a score of ZERO will apply. Note that the determination of whether the online test result was affected by technical difficulties will be solely the prerogative of the Course Coordinator. Simply doing poorly in a test and then asking for a reset will not be considered.

Multiple Choice Questions and Answers, where students will find and select the best possible answer out of the given choices.

Length: 10 Powerpoint slides max with voice over (of not more than 10 mins in duration) in Moodle plus a Word script (maximum 1200 words).

Task Description – Team PPT presentation with voice over and Word written assessment

All assignments should be submitted online through the MRKT 20057 Moodle site. All reports will be checked by Turnitin to compare the report to other sources and will provide students and lecturers with a similarity score for the report. Reports with a similarity score index of more than 20% will be checked for plagiarism (although it may not necessarily mean that the student has plagiarised).

Assessments 2 and 3 are related.

Organize yourselves into teams of 2 or 3 people through signing up for groups allocated in Moodle. Each member of the group has to individually submit the Self and Peer Evaluation form in Moodle by the due date where you will evaluate your own work and that of your team members. See information in Moodle for further guidance.

For Assessment 3, you and your team mates are expected to choose ONE country out of India, China, Australia, Nepal or Brazil where you will market Piñatex™ and explain the rationale for your choice.
You will then provide recommendations for the following
a. Market selection and entry strategy
b. Competitive strategy
c. Pricing strategy
d. Promotion strategy
e. Distribution strategy
Finally, you are to provide a statement to reflect on how the Global Business Marketing Unit has been valuable to you.

Instructions for the PPT slides (10 PPT slides, maximum 10 minutes with voiceover)
- You are to produce a maximum of 10 Powerpoint slides with voiceover.
- It should be a presentation of a maximum of 10 minutes recorded to discuss the above.
- Use the marking criteria for this assessment as a guide to include what is needed in the slides.
- Only one PPT presentation per group needs to be uploaded in Moodle.
- Your Powerpoint slides must be in bullet points
- You do not need to read the in text referencing or references at the end of the slides when recording your voice for the PPT presentation.
- As far as possible, as this is a team effort, we would like to hear all voices of the students involved in the group especially on the metro campuses. For distance education students, we would understand if this is not be possible.
- 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 will need to be uploaded in Moodle under the “Assessment 3” 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. Adding Voice Over to PowerPoint Presentations in 5 Easy Steps: http://www.emergingedtech.com/2012/12/add-voice-over-to-powerpoint-presentations-in-5-easy-steps/

Instructions for your written Word document with the references

Final instructions
- Do NOT click on ‘Final submission’ of files in Moodle unless BOTH PPT and Word documents have been uploaded.
- All assignments are to be uploaded into Moodle and not sent to the Unit Co-ordinator’s email address for marking.
- You need to start working on this assessment as soon as Week 6 as it involves lots of research, preparation and team effort and do not wait until the last minute to do this assessment.
- In the past, some students had to submit their PPT with no voice over because they worked on it at the last minute and subsequently lost marks.

What would you do to build a team?
This is a team-based assessment, where you have to allocate yourself to any of the teams through the unit Moodle site. I would suggest you to make a team with whom you can communicate with on a regular basis. The link, "build your team for group work", is available in Week 1 slot in Moodle. Click on this link, and then select the group and click on the "choice" button, and finally, scroll down and click on the "save my choice" button.There should be no more than 3 members in a group; preferably from 3 different cultures. Check out some guidelines on how to set up a ‘Group Contract’ in Moodle.

The objective of this team-based assessment is to have increased communication in English, network building, cross-cultural understanding and further strengthening your critical and rational thinking abilities. Therefore, it is expected that you, as a team player, will practise and achieve these critical skills. Exchange your communication IDs (Skype/E-mail/Facebook) and/or phone numbers etc., and start your team work. You can also download Zoom.us, which is free and allows you to call meetings and upload these meetings into your email calendar as well as giving video feeds and you can share your work on the screen so that all team members can see it. You will use the feedback/comment of your written assessment, negotiate with your team members and make a rational decision. You need to reflect and apply all these in this group work assessment.

How would I be assessed and marked?
The team members will assess their own work and that of their peers, and complete and upload the self and peer evaluation form. The unit lecturer will evaluate their work and will compare it with team members. The final grade will be allocated by the unit lecturer and coordinator. As this is a summative assessment, there will be no feedback for this assessment.
