For both study and future work purposes, it is important that you develop confidence in presenting orally to a group. The objective of this assessment item is to develop professional presentation skills. You are required to perform the following tasks:

1. Undertake the Team Role Test provided on Moodle, then form a balanced team of four that is representative of the three broad team-role preference areas, namely: social, action and thinker. The team must be formed by Friday of Week 3. Students not yet in a team will be allocated by the Unit Coordinator.
2. Select and research an oral presentation topic from the list provided on Moodle (or other, if approved by the Unit Coordinator)
3. Prepare the presentation before arriving at residential school.
4. Submit presentation outline by 9:00 am, day one of residential school.
5. Present the presentation at residential school.
6. Introduce and chair questions for another team.
7. Submit presentation slides in Powerpoint or pdf at the end of the residential school.

The presentation is to take 15 minutes after which there will be 5 minutes for questions. The presentation is to engage the audience and include some form of reinforcement activity to aid learning. The presentation should be appropriate for managers and contain enough information to make a compelling case that requires management approval and resources. 

Oral Presentation

1. Preparation (5 marks)
2. Depth of discussion (10 marks)
3. Embedded reinforcement activity (5 marks)
4. General delivery (5 marks)
5. Chair for another team presentation: introduce and chair questions (5 marks)

A detailed marking rubric is available in Moodle during the term.

This is a group assignment. While at residential school you will conduct a number of workplace inspections in a variety of different work environments. Your group will be allocated one of these workplaces for the purposes of this assignment. You are required to complete the following:

1. Technical workplace inspection report

• Cover page (Assignment details and group ID)
• Letter of transmittal
• Report title page
• Executive summary (one page only)
• Table of contents
• Contextualises the workplace
• Outlines the methodology (inspection process)
• Reports findings (includes good practice and areas for improvement)
• Discusses observed risks and additional risk treatment (assertions are supported)
• Proposes an evidence-based Risk Control Plan and associated Corrective Actions Plan that is reasonably practicable
• Assertions are supported with references to reputable sources (minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles)
• Appendices include: The completed Inspection Checklist and Corrective Action Plan
• Complies with the limit of 2,500 words (excludes: cover page, letter of transmittal, title page, executive summary, table of contents, reference list and appendices).

2. Self & Peer Review

One week before this assessment is due, you will be provided a link to an online survey via email. You will grade yourself using the set criteria, and then grade each of your fellow team members using the same criteria. If student work performance is good, or communication skills are good, the peer review mark will reflect this. This survey must be completed prior to the due date when it will close. The Unit Coordinator will allocate a grade based on a combination of the self-assessment and the peer review mark allocated by fellow team members. If you believe that the peer assessment is unfair, you can make a case to the Unit Coordinator who will moderate the grade on a case-by-case basis.

1. Workplace contextualisation (3 marks);
2. Identifies aspects done well and those that need improvement (6 marks);
3. Discusses and evaluates risks observed by utilising a suitable risk control framework (9 marks);
4. Develops an evidence-based risk control plan and associated Corrective Actions Plan (6 marks);
5. Assertions are supported with reference to reputable sources (min. of 5 peer-reviewed journal articles) (3 marks);
6. Professionally presented, contains all parts, and communicated concisely (1.5 marks); and
7. Self and peer review on member contribution (1.5 marks).

As a guide, reports of 2,500 words are most likely to be successful. Reports that exceed the word limit are likely to lack focus, and those below are likely to lack depth. 

A detailed marking rubric is available in Moodle during the term.
