Assessment Strategy
The assessment strategy for ‘Principles of Business Excellence’ has two key components: The ‘on-going assessment tasks’ (LLB 5%, individual project 30%, Participation 10%, group project 15%) which account for 60% of your final mark and the ‘final exam’ which accounts for 40% of your final mark (please see the Course Syllabus for further details). As can be seen from the Course Syllabus, the ongoing assessment is composed of four different tasks as follows: Learner Log Book (Week 4) The element of the assessment of this course accounts for 5% of your final mark. You are required to read the given article and provide your feedback/comments according to the LLB template. The word limit for LLB is 1000 words. You should submit your LLB in Week 4 via VLE.
Individual Project (week 8): This is an individual project which accounts for 30% of your final mark. You need to choose one of the BE models and it also has been adopted by a company. The chosen firm’s relevant information can taken from secondary data. You must confirm the TITLE/TOPIC of your assignment with me during the first 2 weeks. On the other hand, the project (1500 words) should be submitted in week 8. Please remember to submit your report online as a single word document/file on the course VLE by the deadline. Late submission will not be accepted. You are expected to give a 10-minute presentation of your individual project (with One ppt slide) in week 8. If you would

Class participation & attendance This element of the course assessment accounts for 10% of your final mark.

Group Project (week 12) This element of course assessment accounts for 15% of your final mark. This assessment includes a 30-minute presentation (5%) as well as the group report (10%). Your presentation may be done before week 12. You are required to form a group (3 persons), choose a related topic to the course syllabus, write a report of no more than 2000 words (inclusive of your cover page and references) and submit it online through the course VLE by the deadline. The formation of groups and group members is your own responsibility (but please let me know in case you need any assistance or face any problem. You must report to me during the first 3 weeks of the semester in case you have any issue or problem with your team members or if you have not been assigned to any team/group. So late reporting on any problem with your group membership will not be accepted). In preparing your group assignment, you must confirm the TITLE/TOPIC of your group assignment with me. You are expected to reflect on your own learning and provide in-depth analysis of the chosen topic. The key assessment criteria for your group project are the course learning outcomes. This means that you need to reflect on your learning in your group project with regard to each of the learning outcomes. A reflection on your own learning from the course, embedding it into the report, and ability to link it with the course learning outcomes constitute a key element of your assignment evaluation and marking.
