The program involves a series of formal lectures, workshops, one-to-one mentoring sessions and team meetings over the duration of the program. Participants are required, as a member of a team, to develop and write a business plan and make a presentation to a panel of judges at the semi-final stage.

The Australian eChallenge course, ENTREP 7900 and ENTREP 3900 fulfil the requirements of the Small Group Discovery Experience through the following;

1. Students form small groups of 2 to 6 members
2. They receive guidance and intellectual stimulation from the course director at the commencement of the process
3. Their task is to research and identify an opportunity that they will work on through the course
4. Learning will come from a collaborative environment consisting of interaction with other students, external (industry) experts, and access to a senior academic throughout their course
5. Their learning is self-directed, there are no formal lectures, rather workshops to assist them in their investigation of their chosen opportunity
6. All learning is based on student driven enquiry; that is the teacher responds to the needs of the small groups of students individually, rather than in a class environment.

An overview of the course assessment appears in the following Table. Details appear in the following section:

#	Assessment Type	Task Type	Length	Weighting	Learning Outcomes
1	Entrepreneur Interview	Individual	2000 words	30%	1, 2, 5

Students should attend all classes in order to pass the course. There is considerable experiential learning in workshops during the classes that build your knowledge and thus enable you to be successful in this course.  

Course results are subject to moderation by the ECIC Board of Examiners

Assessment requiring moderation will be carried out by the Academic Director or their nominee.

The major activity of the eChallenge is to conceive of an idea for a product and to progress through the course to analyse it, test it and begin the process of building it. This task is essentially the entire course, the challenge itself, and as a result, a number of your assessment tasks relate to milestones in this process.

The related assessment tasks represent sequential steps, from first documentation of your idea, through to the culmination of the process with the presentation to a panel of judges in the semifinal stages of the course.


Assessment Task: Idea Proposal
Weighting: 10%
Task: The Idea Proposal is the finalisation of the ‘idea’ stage of the course. Teams undertake an extensive process of experimentation with ideas, and are now reaching the time to select a single idea. By this stage, teams have been finalised.

---

Assessment Task: Venture Showcase
Weighting: 20%
The Venture Showcase is an event to showcase your ideas. Each team is given their own booth and is responsible for the design and presentation of their space. Once the event is open, members of the public freely wander through the exhibition, talking to teams about their ideas.

Task: Teams design their booth display, develop a way to describe their idea effectively in a compelling and interesting way and refine during the event, and respond to questions from the public.

There are a number of awards with prizes presented to teams on the night.

---

Assessment Task: Entrepreneur interview
Weighting: 30%
Task: Identify an entrepreneur you would like to interview, create a series of questions relevant to their experience and the course modules, make contact, conduct the interview, and then analyse your interview to present a final assignment.

---

Assessment Task: Concept Statement
Weighting: 25%
Task: The Concept Statement is a planning and summary document that helps teams prepare for the semifinal pitch. It gives the team a chance to revisit their first submission, identifying how their idea has changed, and extend beyond the Idea Proposal to address the concepts in the subsequent workshops. The effort of the assignment is in the activity of exploration over the weeks and months of the course. This effort includes talking to people and potential customers, learning about what works and doesn’t in your idea, and responding to this to make or change decisions to move toward building an effective product.

By this stage in the course it is expected that you can produce data and evidence of your journey, how your ideas have changed, what actions you have undertaken and what you have completed.

---

Assessment Task: Semifinal Pitch
Weighting: 25%
The Semifinal Pitch is to a panel of judges and investors. Teams that perform well in the semifinal stage can advance to the final round, where teams pitch again. The Final pitch is not assessed, however teams have the chance to win cash and prizes.

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni.
Please refer to step by step instructions:

There are a few points to note about the submission of assignments:

• Assignment Submission:  Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor; they must be lodged via the MyUni Course site (unless specified to do both). Note that assignments may be processed via TURNITIN, which is an online plagiarism prevention tool.
• Cover Sheet:  Please include in the assignment a completed 成人大片 Assessment Cover Sheet providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work.  Note that the declaration on any electronically submitted assignment will be deemed to have the same authority as a signed declaration.
• Backup Copy of Assignments:  You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing.  Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Extensions of Time:  An application for Assessment Extension should be made well before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer.  Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date.  Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances.
• Failure to submit: Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade.  Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late (Unless otherwise stated in 'Assessment Related Requirements' or 'Assessment Detail' above). Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.

Resubmission & Remarking
Resubmission of an assignment for remarking after reworking it to obtain a better mark will not normally be accepted.  Approval for resubmission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds.
