  • Second presentation (due week 9) focuses on exploration of PM tools and PM standards (LO3, LO4); and
  • Third and final presentation (due week 11) on qualities that a BPM graduate would acquire for employment in the PM profession (LO5, LO6).
  • Presentations are video-based recordings, done in groups, to be submitted online on Canvas.
• Group Project Proposal (25%): This group assignment will focus on a funding application for a project that harnesses all learning aspects from this unit of study and is due in week 13.
• Participation (10%): Your meaningful engagement and constructive involvement in class (in workshops and on Canvas) will be used as indicators of participation in class. Remember, mere attendance does not equate to participation.      

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas. All  assignment submissions (i.e. group assignment & reflections) will be due on Sunday 23:59 of that week.

Important note: In light of disruptions such as COVID-19, deadlines of assignment may change and in such cases, reasonable notice will be provided.

Study Commitment:

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

Text-matching software for Assignment Submission:

As part of the assessment process, text matching software such as Turnitin will be used to identify plagiarism and/or be used for providing feedback.

Confidential Peer Evaluation:

As part of the group contribution assessment process, collaborative & self-peer evaluation tools (e.g. SparkPlus, CATME, etc.) may be used, either on a confidential or non-confidential basis, to understand contributions and interactions amongst group members. Marks may be adjusted for an individual team member, following on from the peer evaluation process.

Mark Moderation:

Mark moderation: There may be statistically defensible moderation when combining the marks from each component to ensure consistency of marking between markers, and alignment of final grades with unit outcomes.
