26.Learning, teaching and assessment strategies: After progressing from the taught element of the programme, students will spendthree monthswithan organisation located regionally, nationally or internationally, as agreed withSalford Business School. The Business School will use the Student Hub and AskUS career staff to prepare and support students for this three month period. Salford Business School’s (SBS) Student Hub providesstudents support to work with organisations includingidentifying and securing placements and internships.. Students will have the opportunity to improve their skills in CV writing, professional networking, personal brand building, placement interviewsand project consultancy through extra-curricular workshops organised by the Student Hub and AskUS. The aims and intended learning outcomes of this module will be predominantly achieved through practice. This practice is supported by a preparatory series of lectures relating tostudy skills development, employability skills, project consultancy, research methodology, entrepreneurship, understanding business and business contexts that are delivered in parallel with the taught elements of the programme during the first two semesters of a student’s programme. The delivery of this preparatory material will be supported and enhanced through Blackboard and the use of COLLABORATE where appropriate. All students are allocated a supervisor who will support the student throughout the process. The assigned supervisor plays an important role in the student’s projectand enables the student to develop, defend and justify their work. However, the student is expected to take personal responsibility for the final project to support delivery of the agreed deliverable. The supervisor will engage with the organisation on at least two occasions. This employer engagement will ideally be face-to-face but in certain circumstances Skype or similar messaging technology will be used.
Formative assessment and feedbackwill be provided by the supervisor as the project progresses, with the first summative assessment point being the complete project proposal. Feedback on the proposal then informs the final deliverables including the dissemination activity.
Specifically, the assessment will be:
Part One – Project proposal – 1,500 words – 10 %
During the first two semesters of their programme students are asked to develop their project proposal through a a process of collaboration with the chosen organisation and/orthe academic supervisor. The proposal highlights the rationale for the selection of an organisational issues that the project will address, will determine the specific deliverables produced during the project, the envisaged impact of the projectand the overall aims and objectives of the project. Students are also asked to identify key literature and themes that will support the interpretation and systematic analysis of the chosen problem. The project proposalwill also detail data collection activitieswhich will be conducted at the organisation. The project proposal will include a plan with a time-line and an outline of any perceived riskstogether with actions that will be taken to mitigate those risks. The project proposal will identify any university and/or organisational resources that they may need to complete the project.
Part Two – Portfolio – 8,500 to 10,000 words (80 % ) including dissemination activity (10%)- 90% During the three months in which the student works with an organisation they will compile a portfolio of evidence that shows the work undertaken, the deliverables created, the impact achieved, the theories and concepts applied, the data gathering activities undertaken and a critical reflection by the student of their work practices and learning. The composition of the portfolio will be agreed with the supervisor at the beginning of the project (and after the submission of the project proposal). Portfolio work will be exhibited through, for example, reflective diaries, , impact assessments, blog posts, organisational white papers, stakeholder interview transcriptions or other appropriate means. An additional aspect of the portfolio will be a dissemination activity for key stakeholders. This will generally be a presentation to an audience but might be a poster presentation or a video recording. |
