General Information

Unit Synopsis

This is a project unit that draws upon your area of specialisation and wider knowledge of innovation in business and applies what you have learned in a practical context. This unit enables you to demonstrate the synthesis of knowledge, business research methodologies and professional skills that you have acquired in your course of study. Under the guidance of the unit coordinator you will plan and complete a report on an original research project or a work integrated learning project which will address a significant issue in business and social environments, both locally and globally.

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 Postgraduate 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. Presentation and Written Assessment 40%
2. Presentation and Written Assessment 60%

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: Student feedback during the term, both in Zoom sessions and by email and phone.
Feedback
Students struggle with designing and implementing even a basic research project when entering this unit.
Recommendation
In future terms a more structured approach to the research project possibilities will be required.
Action Taken
I have not seen these comments before but totally agree with them. As I was asked to take on this role just before the semester began and it was already set up I just went with the structure and material that was already in Moodle. I provided additional information and support on an individual 'as needs' basis throughout the semester
