Individual coursework 1:

Project: Individual workbook consisting of a set of cumulative weekly tasks to build on HR concepts and knowledge (100 marks)

Learning outcome(s) of the assessment:

LO 1. To understand and evaluate the meaning and nature of a range of relevant people management practices that organisations can implement to effectively manage the workforce.

LO 2. To develop knowledge and skills to function as an effective people manager

Section B: Introduction

The module has one summative assessment which requires the student to develop a student workbook/ handbook based on your reflection upon the learning developed from the lectures, tutorial and in-class discussions. 

This will not only test students’ understanding of the issues in people management, allowing for difference at industry level (LO1) but will also ask students to reflect on the professional ‘people management’ skills they have developed on the module (LO2). For example, reflective of their leadership and team working style, or how ‘difficult’ it is to construct a structured interview to select the ‘perfect employee’.

The workbook is based on seminar activities so students will receive formative feedback on their ideas from teaching staff in class on a weekly basis – so attendance is paramount to get the most out of this module. Seminar leaders will offer support for academic writing and referencing and there will be the opportunity for formative feedback on the assignment.

These tasks must represent the work of individual students and references to published works must be cited.  Plagiarism constitutes an examination offence and if discovered will render a student(s) liable to the appropriate provisions of the University’s Examination Regulations.
