Assessment Description
This is a group assessment in two parts. You are to work in groups of 3-4 maximum and write a report on sustainable practice in an industry.
Your task is to examine ethics and sustainability theories/models/frameworks as they are applied in understanding sustainable practice, and to apply those theories/models/frameworks to an analysis and commentary on a chosen case-study organisation.
You are required to write and submit this assessment in two (linked) parts: a report and a presentation.
The oral presentations will be delivered in class in weeks 9. The written report of 3,000 words is due week 10. (Weighting 25% = Report 15% + Oral 10%)
As a group you will deliver an oral presentation of approximately 20 minutes (10-15 slides) in week 9.
Your report must refer to at least 8 sources, using the APA standard to cite your sources in-text and in the reference list.
A marking guide is below.
Report Structure:
May be written in essay format – a discussion of the case-study organisation applying the theories/models/frameworks from the unit.
Business Report style. Either format is acceptable.
Referencing and citation:
Your group report should include reference to the sources (books, journal articles, business/professional magazines, media articles, reports, internet resources, etc. that are relevant to the topics under discussion. You must cite all of your reference sources – in-text and in a reference list at the end of the essay and report.
As a guide, a reference list should comprise a minimum of 8 references from various appropriate sources including books, peer-reviewed academic journals, relevant business or professional magazines, media articles etc. Authoritative sources from the internet (e.g. gov.edu .org sites) may be cited. Wikipedia, personal web sites and blogs etc., are not suitable reference sources in an academic paper. Generally, care should be taken to avoid sources and other internet resources whose reputability is uncertain.
Marking and Grading:
This is a group task meaning that all members of each group will receive the same mark/grade as the other members in that group and all members of each group will receive the same assessment feedback.
