Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Participation

The are no participation requirements; however attendance at classes is expected as this is an "in-person" course.

Examination(s)

There is a formal examination - see Assessment task 3.

Additional examination information will be available on https://exams.anu.edu.au/timetable/  

Assessment Task 1

Value: 30 %
Due Date: 31/07/2019
Return of Assessment: 25/10/2019
Learning Outcomes: 2,3,4,5

Formative Work


Individual and group seminar activities and exercises and one on-line quiz (30%)

The Formative Work will include individual assessments, which provide feedback on your learning. As a participant in an ‘In-Person mode’ course you will be required to prepare pre-class reading responses and expected to engage in-class learning activities and exercises throughout the semester. Performance will be evaluated and feedback provided incrementally from week 3 of the course. 


Some activities may be recorded, for example, group presentations. Provision will be made for you to demonstrate your individual learning from group activities. 


Formative Work must be performed to an acceptable standard. For example, if you do not adequately respond to the pre-reading or the in-class case / exercise for a particular week or the quiz, you may be required to repeat the item until you do.


If you satisfactorily complete all the formative work you will receive the full allocated 30 marks; however, students who fail to satisfactorily complete any of the requirements to the specified standard will receive zero of the allocated marks. Marks between 0 and 30 for Formative Work will not be awarded – it’s all or nothing.


In practice, it will not be possible to complete the Formative Work and obtain the 30 marks without attending, in person, at least 8 seminars from seminars 2 to 12.


Late submission of Formative Work is not permitted. Bear in mind that most of it will occur in class, so "submission" is generally not going to be an issue. A detailed checklist of requirements will be provided and discussed in class in week 1.


(1) Pre-reading responses


 Part 1: Before each seminar, course participants should read the article(s) for the week and prepare a typed response to the question(s) of up to 200 words. This should be typed on the Pre-Reading Response Form (available on Wattle). This must be uploaded to the Wattle site via Turnitin, before each class. Participants should then print out a copy of their completed Pre-Reading Response and bring it to the seminar.


 During the seminar, course participants should annotate their Pre-Reading Response Form with additional points that emerge from the class discussion. Towards the end of the seminar, participants will be asked to reflect on how well (or poorly) their initial pre-reading response addressed the question(s). Your annotations must be confined to the first page of the Pre-Reading Response Form.


 Part 2: At the end of the seminar, these annotated Pre-Reading Response Forms are submitted to the lecturer. They will be reviewed and assessed to check that all three component parts have been adequately completed.


Each student’s annotated Pre-Reading Response Forms will be placed in an envelope with their name and student ID, and stored by the lecturer. The complete package is provided to the student as ‘permitted material’ in the final examination. Your Pre-Reading Responses thus function as permitted crib-sheets in the final examination.


 Each course participant must submit pre-reading responses for a minimum of 8 weeks formative work – from seminars 2 to 12 – in order to be awarded the 30 marks for Formative Assessment.


Due times and dates: (note that a minimum of 8 pre-reading responses must be submitted)

 (2) In-class workshop cases and exercises

Most seminars will involve in-class cases and/or workshop exercises. For these, course participants will be asked to apply a tool or framework to analyse a case or to develop some aspect of the topic for the week, followed by group and class discussion. There will be response forms for each in-class case/exercise. These may also be submitted to the lecturer at the end of the seminar. If they are submitted they will be placed in the same envelope as the annotated Pre-Reading Response Forms and provided to the student as permitted crib-sheets in the final examination.


 (3) Week 6 Online Quiz

This quiz will be conducted online via Wattle. Most questions will require a true/false answer; there will also be a small number of multiple choice questions. The quiz opens on Thursday 29 August (week 6) and is available for two weeks. Participants must achieve a score of 80% or more on the quiz for it be counted towards the Formative Work. The quiz takes about sixty minutes to complete, and can be taken multiple times. You may refer to the lecture slides and other course materials while taking the quiz. However, your weekly pre-reading responses will not be available to you as they are being collected at the end of each seminar.


DUE: by Friday 13 September


Return of Quiz scores: Quiz scores are provided immediately after completion.


 

Note once again that ALL of the Formative Work must be submitted, including a Quiz score of 80%+, in order to obtain the 30 Formative Assessment marks. Marks between 0 and 30 for parts of the Formative Work will not be awarded – it’s all or nothing.

Assessment Task 2

Value: 30 %
Due Date: 13/10/2019
Return of Assessment: 04/11/2019
Learning Outcomes: 1,3

Essay

Essay (30%)

For this assessment item you will choose an essay question focusing on one of the debates in the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation. The purpose of the essay is to explore and summarise the current state of the debate, based on current research findings and application of the principles of evidence-based management


 The essay questions and detailed instructions for this assessment task are provided on Wattle by week 2 of the semester.


 Process

You should approach the task as follows:


 1. Carefully consider the essay question in the light of the topic readings and in-class discussions throughout the course.

When considering the essay question you should consider whether you would propose restating the question in order to specify it more carefully, for example to focus more clearly on an issue or sector. If you do wish to address a modified question you must seek approval from the course convenor before the end of week 6.


 2. Undertake a search for evidence about the question from relevant academic and other research.

During the search for evidence you should:

  • ensure that you revisit the question in light of what you have found through the search for evidence; and,
  • carefully consider how key terms are used in the different studies (Step 8.1 of the CAT Guideline), any causal mechanisms at work (Step 8.2 of the CAT Guideline) and any logical conclusions, limitations and implications that follow from the evidence (Steps 9, 10 and 11, of the CAT Guideline ).


 3. Prepare a summary of your search for evidence to be attached as an Appendix to your essay. The Appendix should include a Table as shown on Page 10 of the CEBMa CAT Guideline version 1.1 summarising at least 10 papers from relevant academic and other research. You should not include an ‘Effect size’ column and you should use the four levels (A, B, C, D) described in the detailed instructions for this assessment task provided on Wattle instead of the six levels described in the CEBMa CAT Guideline.


 4. Prepare an analytical essay of up to 1,500 words on your chosen question, summarizing the state of the debate, based on the evidence you have found in your search for evidence. You should ensure that the material in your essay is clearly linked to the evidence you have summarised in the search-for-evidence Appendix.


 Late submissions are not accepted. If you are unable to submit on time you should apply for an extension.


The marking of this assessment item will involve a criterion-referenced rubric (to be provided on Wattle as part of the detailed instructions for this assessment task) and standard setting procedure calibrated as follows:

• Unsatisfactory quality: 0 to 4.9 marks

• Satisfactory quality: 5.0 to 9.9 marks

• Good quality: 10.0 to 14.9 marks

• Superior quality: 15.0 to 19.9 marks

• Exceptional quality: 20.0 to 30 marks

Final Examination

Final Examination (40%) – End of Semester examination period

This will be an invigilated final examination of 3 hours duration conducted during the end of semester examination period. The Final Examination will cover content from the whole course. The examination marks will be apportioned between selected response and/or short answer questions (one quarter of the examination marks), a short case study response (one half of the examination marks), and personal reflection questions (one quarter of the examination marks). 


 It will be a closed book examination. However, at the beginning of the examination, each student will be given an envelope containing their individual pre-reading responses and in-class case / exercise responses. (Remember that these have been collected cumulatively throughout the semester.) These will be ‘Permitted Materials’ for use as ‘crib sheets’ in the examination. Unannotated, paper-based dictionaries are permitted.


 The raw scores from the final examination will be transformed into marks corresponding to ANU grade levels using a criterion-referenced standard setting procedure. The resulting marks will be calibrated as follows:

• Unsatisfactory quality: 0 to 14.9 marks

• Satisfactory quality: 15 to 19.9 marks

• Good quality: 20 to 24.9 marks

• Superior quality: 25.0 to 39.9 marks

• Exceptional quality: 30 to 40 marks


 DUE: End of Semester Examination Period which begins on 31 October 2019
