• Group assignment: Group assignment has two parts: written report and presentation. The written report covers a case project, as well as literature review (background research) into Project Financial Evaluation principles including topics such as quantitative methods, qualitative methods, funding options etc. The students are expected to use evaluation techniques covered in weekly tutorials (EUAC, NPV, Profitability Analysis, IRR, Incremental analysis, Payback analysis, Cost Benefit Analysis, Valuation and Replacement studies, Life Cycle Costing analysis, Risk and Sensitivity Analysis) and apply them on a chosen case project. The second part of the assignment is a brief class presentation of the written report. Feedback collected via peer review will be used to determine the individual marks for this assignment.
• Individual assignment: The purpose of the Individual assignment is to articulate and reflect upon the competencies developed in the unit with appropriate substantiations. It summarises class experience, teamwork, newly acquired knowledge and the effectiveness of integration of the new information onto the existing knowledge base.
• Knowledge test: The Knowledge test is an online quiz with questions related to theoretical components of the unit, as well as questions related to application of theory in practice. The Knowledge Test is conducted in class (Week 8) for students enrolled in weekly mode, while online students will have the choice to either attend this test with the weekly class or to conduct the test via Skype.
• Class participation: Weekly questions will be posted on the Discussion Board (Weeks 2-11), giving the opportunity to students to demonstrate not only their understanding of topics covered in this unit, but also their continuous class engagement and practical and reflective thinking.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

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:
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.
