Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 30%
2. Online Quiz(zes) 20%
3. Written Assessment 50%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback
The existing assessments are vulnerable to potential inaccuracies posed by generative AI responses.
Recommendation
Implement enhanced preventive measures such as supervised quizzes to mitigate risks from Gen AI generated responses.
Action Taken
The MyStudyWorks tool was implemented to consistently track students' progress for Assessment 3 and to mitigate the students' over-reliance on generative AI for their assessments.
Source: Unit Coordinator self-reflection
Feedback
Cybersecurity's relevance to enterprise analysis needs to be identified.
Recommendation
Identify and incorporate cybersecurity content relevant to the unit.
Action Taken
This recommendation was not incorporated however the relevance of cybersecurity to enterprise analysis can be introduced in the future.

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Compare and contrast general and conflicting organisation-specific technical issues in enterprise systems and organisational change
  2. Identify critical situations and analyse the business needs of an organisation to develop appropriate computing strategies to address ill-defined situations
  3. Evaluate alternative approaches to implement enterprise systems within an organisation

Australian Computer Society (ACS) recognises the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). SFIA is adopted by organisations, governments and individuals in many countries and provides a widely used and consistent definition of ICT skills. SFIA is increasingly being used when developing job descriptions and role profiles.

ACS members can use the tool MySFIA to build a skills profile at https://www.acs.org.au/professionalrecognition/mysfia-b2c.html

This unit contributes to the following workplace skills as defined by SFIA 7 (the SFIA code is included):

  • Information Analysis (INAN)
  • Research (RSCH)
  • Emerging Technologies (EMRG)
  • Business Analysis (BUAN)
  • Systems Design (DESN)
  • Requirements Definition and Management (REQM)
  • Business Modelling (BSMO)
  • Stakeholder and Relationship Management (RLMT)
  • Change Management (CHMG)
