| Assessment Description: |
* indicates an assessment task which must be repeated if a student misses it due to special consideration. 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. Late assignments will incur the following penalties: 5% per day up to 5 days; beyond 5 days the mark is zero. 1. Evaluation of a major technology management tool 2. Case study of a particular company or technology 3. Evaluation of student learning 4. Case study of new technology-based venture 5. Reflection on learning |
