• Individual assignment: For this assignment you are required to prepare and submit a reflective plan for further development of their intrapersonal and interpersonal leadership competencies -  in the form of a Personal Leadership Development Plan.  See Canvas for advice on preparing your plan. Due 8 April.
• Group assignment: This assignment is the second of three components of the team debate exercise and follows on from the in-class team debates on specific topics scheduled for Weeks 4 to 11. The three components are: (1) an in-class team debate (not assessable); (2) a team submission (assessable); and (3) team member self and peer evaluation of individual contribution to teamworking (on-line and anonymous but, where necessary, may be used to moderate marks for individual team members). The group submission of 1500 words should refine your group's position and critique the in-class counter-arguments put by the opposing team. The in-class debate, while not assessed, presents an opportunity for each debating team to roadtest its own arguments, hear and critique the opposing arguments and receive feedback from peers and the unit coordinator.  There are 6 debate topics, with one scheduled per week between 11 March and 6 May. Debate topics will be posted on the unit Canvas site and allocated to groups in the first week of classes. Students will be able to self-enrol in a team, but each team will have a cap of 6 members.  Up to 45 minutes will be set aside for each debate. The submitted group paper should be well researched, fully referenced, offer a refined position on the assigned side of the debate and address both sides of the debate topic. Members of each team will be asked to provide anonymous, non-assessable online feedback on each team member's contributions to  their team's preparations at two points during the semester.  Group submission due 15 May.
• Class participation: Each student will be assessed in terms of the frequency and quality of their contribution to class discussion and debate throughout the unit. Participation marks will be determined by the coordinator once classes have concluded.
• Final exam: This wil be a closed book 2 hour exam conducted during the formal exam period in June, with the date to be determined by the University's Examinations Unit. The exam affords you the opportunity to (1) demonstrate depth of understanding of unit learning content (including required readings, lectures, class discussion and debates, and your submitted individual and group assignments) and (2) show how  you can apply this knowledge to both specific organisational cases and their own leadership development. Exam date, time and and venue to be determined by the University's Examinations Unit.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found under 'Assignments' on the unit Canvas site.
