There are four pieces of assessment for this course: First is an individual piece of assessment, it is a literature review. This needs to be completed by yourself, without consulting anyone. Second is group assessment. You can form your own groups until the end of week 2 (Sunday, 31st of July, 9pm). If you have not self-allocated into a group, I will allocate you randomly to a group on LEARN in week 3. You will be working with a real company, which we will allocate you to. Group assessments need to be completed based on discussions in your group and collaboration with our industry partner, Prolorus and the company that you are working with. Each group will develop a research report and succession planning model for the company. Each group will submit only one completed output. Details can be found on LEARN. Third is a group presentation. Each group will present their findings and pitch in 20 minute presentation to the company why your succession planning model is best for their organization.Assessment In Te Reo MāoriIn recognising that Te Reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand, the University provides for students who may wish to use the Te Reo Māori in their assessment. If you intend to submit your work in Te Reo Māori you are required to do the following: Read the Assessment in Te Reo Māori Policy and ensure that you meet the conditions set out in the policy. This includes, but is not limited to, informing the Course Coordinator 1) no later than 10 working days after the commencement of the course that you wish to use Te Reo Māori and 2) at least 15 working days before each assessment due date that you wish to use Te Reo Māori.GradingThe marks for tests and exams may be scaled before a final grade is determined.
