Essay: the essay assessment will ask students to research a risk event from the public domain and report their knowledge on the lessons learned. The learning outcomes will be assessed in terms of how well they understand the role of risk management in business and projects.

Project Report: this assignment will provide students with an appreciation of risks in ‘real life’ projects. Student groups will focus on a current project that is under way. Their findings will be documented in a comprehensive report that highlights important risk management issues. Learning outcomes will be assessed on student knowledge in respect to managing risk on the selected project.

Project Presentation: the presentation will see students providing a professional PowerPoint presentation and reporting the key findings from the Project Report. The assessment will be based on how well each student contributes to the presentation. 

Examination: the examination paper will cover various aspects of the course testing both knowledge and applications in respect to risk management concepts. Students will be assessed on demonstrated achievement of the learning outcomes in respect to recognised risk management practice and knowledge in the project context

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.
