Assessment 3 Part 1: Case Study Review (20%)
A brief case study and associated questions that will form the basis of this assessment will be provided by the instructor
via Blackboard in Week 10.
You will be asked to review the case study in the context of the relevant OB concepts and theories studied during the unit
and answer the questions
relating to the case study. You are asked to read and analyse the case study and then answer Two (2) of Three (3) questions.
Q 3 of the 3
questions is mandatory.
When reviewing your written responses to the questions you should reflect on the following areas:
? Is your diagnosis and recommended action practical to implement and/or a good fit for the context presented in the case
study?
? Is the diagnosis and recommended action you put forward based on a sound theoretical basis?
? Have you demonstrated critical thinking skills in responding to these issues, i.e. have you gone beyond description and
demonstrated deep,
critical analysis to arrive at their recommendations/solutions?
? Have you used appropriate academic writing style and referencing?
Structure, Assessment Criteria and Word Limit: Each question must be numbered according to the question number on the
question sheet. (You can also
write the question out in full, before answering; this is not included in your word count). Each answer must include 2 parts,
an analysis and
recommendations. Each question is worth 10 marks. Your answers will be assessed on the basis of the assessment criteria
listed in this assessment?s
rubric marking (available under My Grades, View Rubric). These cover Discipline Knowledge and Skills Standard and Written
Communication Skills
Standard Skills. As the review questions above indicate, the Discipline Knowledge and Skills Standard are of primary
importance. Each answer should
be a maximum of 750 words in length (+/- 10%. The word count does not include references). At the end of the question you
must provide a word
count for your answer and provide references you have used (at least 3 per answer) in Chicago 16 referencing format.
Assessment 3 Part 2: Individual Reflection on group and team processes (20%)
In this section of the assignment you will be asked to provide reflection and critical analysis on your own experience as a
member of a team during
your OB unit. The following questions should help to guide your reflection regarding your experience within a diverse team:
? Did your team perform well? If so, why? If not, why not? (Refer to relevant OB theory to support your observation and
analysis; provide
evidence that extends beyond the group?s presentation mark).
? What role did you play in helping the team reach its goal (a successful class presentation, productive class discussions,
learning from each
other etc.)? (Refer to relevant OB theory to support your observation and analysis)
? What were the strengths and weaknesses of your team?s output (i.e. the presentation, what worked particularly well, what we
could have done
differently, class based discussions and activities?) (Refer to relevant OB theory to support your observation and analysis)
? What have you learnt about yourself during this unit that will be useful in future group work (either in a study or work
setting)? (Refer
specifically to relevant OB theory to support your observation and analysis and specifically to Kolb?s learning model).
? Anything else you have learned about working in diverse teams?
When reviewing the analysis of your experience in Part 2 you should consider the following:
? Have you demonstrated critical thinking skills in analysing your team experience? That is, have you gone beyond description
and have shown
that you have critically analysed your team?s performance and their role within the team via reference to relevant OB
theory/concepts?
? Have you demonstrated discipline knowledge skills in identifying what they have learnt in the unit that is relevant to your
analysis?
? Have you demonstrated appropriate academic writing and referencing skills?
