COIT13231 - Enterprise Analysis and Modelling

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit introduces the student to the fundamental gathering of stakeholder requirements elicitation for analysing and proposing the requirements specification for an enterprise system. During the term students will be required to use tools and techniques that model the stakeholder requirements and analysis stages. The unit will cover key issues that surround the implementation of an enterprise system such as the proposal of the new system, changing business processes and organisational change. This unit provides students with the necessary skills to enable them to develop a report that defines and models the requirements of a business enterprise system.

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, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Source: Unit Coordinator self-reflection
Feedback
Software tools would help students to complete enterprise analysis activities.
Recommendation
Explore software tools to create automated workflows and complete enterprise analysis activities.
Action Taken
IBM Blueworks Live has been identified as a potential software tool to use for the creation of automated workflows and to facilitate comprehensive enterprise analysis tasks. This will be included in the next offering
Source: Student evaluation
Feedback
The ePortfolio assessment has too many submissions and takes away time from the final assessment.
Recommendation
Reduce the number of ePortfolios in Assessment 1.
Action Taken
Reducing the number of portfolio items is not feasible since, by doing so, some content won't be assessed.
Source: Unit Coordinator self-reflection
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.
