Assignment Overview

Completion of PPMP20008 is like a project, there are likely things that went well and things that did not. Reflecting on the experience can be just as meaningful as retaining concepts taught.

This assessment item requires you to reflect on your participation in the course, identify lessons learnt, and consider what actions can be taken to address lessons and improve future study projects. Please note these learnings are based on your role as a student in PPMP20008 and not based on the supplied project used for earlier assessments.

You will need to determine a framework to base your lessons learnt on. In practice lessons learnt discussions are usually framed in certain ways to illicit learnings from participants. Consider what is the most effective way to do this within the context of your group (Flex - if not in a group - for you as an individual), the course and the experience during the term.

You must develop, submit and present a 10 minute presentation (in Microsoft PowerPoint) discussing your reflection and lessons learnt. The PowerPoint document must be submitted in before Monday of week 12 and presentations will occur in week 12. You must be prepared to answer questions from unit participants after your presentation. Please note that depending on class sizes some students may have to present in earlier weeks.

Flex students will not present, however must submit a written set of presentation notes/script. These notes are to be submitted within the notes section of the PowerPoint slides.

You will be graded based on how well you have made your presentation, the lessons learnt framework developed, the lessons shared, and the actions planned to address lessons for future study.

Purpose

This assessment item is to assists you to reflect on your performance in a project, identify lessons learnt, develop strategies to leverage those lessons and develop presentation skills.

Further information can be found on the Moodle site.

Your assignment will be assessed on the extent and quality to which it meets each of the following criteria:-

1. The framework for identifying lessons learnt would enable a meaningful lessons learnt process and address common issues experienced with lessons learnt in projects. (5 marks)
2. The lessons identified demonstrated deep reflection about the learning process. (5 marks)
3. SMART process improvement strategies were identified. (SMART - Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bounded). (5 marks)
4. A clear flow of thought throughout the presentation with a clear purpose described in the introduction and a comprehensive conclusion. Professional presenting style as if being presented to a project board. For on campus students this will be determined through the presentation, flex via the presentation notes. (5 marks).

Ensure the presentation is appropriately formatted within slide and note/script limit: 10 to 20 slides & notes/script, that there is clarity of expression, correct grammar, spelling and referencing. The presentation should cater for different learning preferences. Try not to read off your notes, this takes practice and confidence in the material being presented.

Note for on campus students - every student in the group must present to be awarded marks in this assessment. If you are unable to attend class during the time you were to present, you must submit a request for extension via Moodle, with supporting documentary evidence such as a doctors certificate. If the extension request is approved, you will then have to arrange another time with your tutor to do the presentation. In such cases, students will need to present the full presentation and will be marked independently of the group.
