Introduction Designed in consultation with industry, this unit aims to equip you with skills needed to succeed in the business environment. The content is designed around you, the student, to be fun, engaging, stimulating, and educational all at once. It contains the principles of Agile, Design, Lean, Team and Career thinking intertwined with numerous business, leadership, negotiation and personal presentation concepts. We will push you out of your comfort zone (in the most supportive way of course) to teach you things that you didn’t realise you needed to know – your first job outside of university is a big step in your career and we want you to feel confident in your ability to have a positive impact on your new team’s environment. We encourage you to jump in head first, and to trust and enjoy the process and the many benefits it will provide to your professional development.  Special thanks must be given to the following people for their assistance and input in designing this unit: l l l l

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes. Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit. On successful completion of this unit students can: 1 2

Detailed information on assessment tasks 1.

Class Reflections Assessment (2 x 15% = 30%) The written Class Reflections assessment contains two (2) parts; each part covers three (3) seminars. Class Reflection part 1 covers seminars 4 -6, and Class Reflection part 2 covers seminars 9 -11. A submission is expected for each seminar (meaning six (6) submissions are expected). At the conclusion of each parts submissions, students will choose which one (1) of the three (3) will be selected to be marked; the mark will equal 15% of the unit (x 2 = 30%). Each submission is due within 48 hours of the completion of YOUR seminar – late submissions will NOT be accepted. Each Class Reflection must be a minimum of 600 words and a maximum of 800 words; anything under or over this will incur a penalty of 10% for everything up to and including 100 words (i.e. 10% penalty for every 100 words under or over). Each submission must reflect upon your experience in the class from that week’s seminar, not just what you did in the seminar; a Class Reflection simply explaining the seminar will not score a pass mark. The reflection should be written in the first person narrative, and should specifically mention the dynamics of the team you were in for the exercise, as well as what you would do differently in the future. Each submission will contain an ABSTRACT (150 words maximum) and a BODY of text. A Cover Page ( EYBM Class Reflections (30%) Cover Page.docx) is available on Blackboard and must be used for each submission. For more information about this assessment please refer to the EYBM Class Reflections (30%) Assessment Guide.pdf document available in Blackboard.

2.

Elevator Pitches Assessment (3 x 10% = 30%) ‘The Elevator Pitch’, officially known as ‘The Gaddie Pitch’, forms the basis of the presentation assessments within this unit. The Elevator Pitches assessment contains two (2) parts; Elevator Pitch part A will be done in seminar 3, and Elevator Pitch part B will be done in seminar 8.

Part A (10%) – seminar 3 The first presentation will be introducing students to the Gaddie, or Elevator Pitch – a 60 -90 second pitch where the student must use the format of the Gaddie Pitch. This presentation will be done in pairs, with the tutor selecting the pairs. The tutor will grade each student presenting using the marking rubric in Blackboard (10%). This presentation will be done in class time (within the seminar) in teaching week 3 (seminar 3). Assessment extensions will NOT be given for this assessment; students can apply for a deferred assessment as long as adequate justification and verification is provided. Students not at this seminar will forfeit this 10%.

Part B (2 x 10% = 20%) – seminar 8 The second presentation will allow students to implement everything they’ve learnt from and since the first presentation. Whilst the presentation component is the same (even using the same marking rubric), the content of the presentation, and how the grades are allocated, are very different. The content of this presentation will be based upon the Marketing Plan done in class time (within the seminar) in teaching week 7 (seminar 7). The presentations will again be a 60 -90 second pitch where the student must use the Gaddie Pitch format. This presentation will see students grade each other’s presentation using the same marking rubric from part A (10%); if the grade is unrealistically high or low then the tutor’s grade will apply for the presenter, as opposed to the students’ grade. In addition, the student will be required to provide feedback for the presenter; this will then be given to the tutor to be graded using the marking rubric in Blackboard (10%), before being given to the presenter. Students without a Marketing Plan will be required to do a Gaddie Pitch on themselves, and i) will only have the tutor grade their work, and ii) will forfeit their 10% for the written feedback. This presentation will be done in class time (within the seminar) in teaching week 8 (seminar 8). Assessment extensions will NOT be given for this assessment; students can apply for a deferred assessment as long as adequate justification and verification is provided. Students not at this seminar will forfeit this 20%. For more information about this assessment please refer to the EYBM Elevator Pitches (30%) Assessment Guide.pdf document available in Blackboard.   3.

Career Passport Reflective Video Assessment (1 x 40%) The purpose of this assessment is for you to look back and reflect upon your degree thus far – what you have learnt, what you have done, what you should have done, friendships made, life lessons learnt etc. The exercises presented in this unit, including the employability tool, the odyssey planning, the Lego representations, the different teams formed every week etc., will provide more than enough content to create an interesting, meaningful video presentation. An engaging video submission with a minimum of 7 minutes and a maximum of 10 minutes is required; anything under or over this will incur a penalty of 10% for everything up to and including 1 minute (i.e. 10% penalty for each minute under or over). The Career Passport Reflective Video is due no later than precisely one (1) week after the start time of YOUR final seminar. The presentation must be pre -recorded and uploaded to a free viewing platform (such as YouTube, Echo360 etc.) where a login is NOT required and a link to view your presentation can be provided to the tutor. Students must submit a link within their presentation slides (if presentation slides are used) or within a Word document into the submission link in Blackboard. 

Assessment Moderation Fair assessment through moderation Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that students work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessments are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/

Pre-marking moderation l l l l

l

Assessments tasks are reviewed by a co -examiner. Assessment task details are given in the Unit Outline. Assessment rubrics are made available to students (“marking criteria”). Markers collaborate to achieve consensus of the task and grading procedures to ensure your work will be fairly graded and is consistent with other students across all locations. Any threats to assessment integrity and security will addressed as required.

The Unit Coordinator is responsible for the management of marking/grading, moderation, and submission of results and finalisation of grades. The Unit Coordinator meets with markers to ensure all markers have the same understanding of marking and feedback expectations. Marking rubrics are used to minimise variation across the marking team. Grades are re -checked by ‘Check Second marking’ in which a random sample of student work is double checked for consistency against marking criteria. For borderline grades (just above/below a pass mark), grades are double checked to ensure they are correct and consistent against marking criteria. Very high and very low grades are double checked to ensure they are correct and consistent against marking criteria. A sample of work may be moderated by markers outside of the teaching/marking team. The Unit Coordinator meets with the grading team to confirm the fairness and consistency of the marking process.

Late assessment Where the submission of a late assessment is permitted, late penalties will be consistently applied in this unit. Where a late assessment is permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension: 1. For assessment items submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date/time, students will be penalised by a deduction of 5% of the total marks allocated for the assessment task; 2. For each additional 24 hour period commenced an additional penalty of 10% of the total marks allocated for the assessment item will be deducted; and 3. Assessment items submitted more than 168 hours late (7 calendar days) will receive a mark of zero. Where late assessment is NOT permitted for an assessment item or the entirety of the unit (refer to the Assessment Schedule table in this Unit Outline) and the student does not have an approved assessment extension: 1. All assessment items submitted after the due date/time will receive a mark of zero.
