AI Policy
In this course, the assessment tasks involve some planning or creative processes, you are permitted to use generative AI software to generate initial ideas and writing. However, you must develop or edit those ideas to such a significant extent that what is submitted is your own work, i.e. only occasional AI generated words or phrases (with less than 3 words) may form. part of your final submission.
If the outputs of generative AI (i.e., ChatGPT, Language Translation apps, Grammarly, Quillbot) form. a large part of your text submission, it will be regarded as serious academic misconduct and subject to the standard penalties, which may include 00FL, suspension and exclusion. Here is UNSW AI policy on Use of AI for assessments.
· Learning to use AI is an emerging skill and you can view this article on how to use them.
· If you use AI tools for assessments, please acknowledge that you use it. Please include a paragraph at the end of any assignment that uses AI explaining what you used the AI for and what prompts you used to get the results. Here is how you can reference and acknowledging the use of artificial intelligence tools.
· Don’t trust anything it says. If it gives you a number or fact, assume it is wrong unless you either know the answer or can check with another source. You will be responsible for any errors or omissions provided by the tool. It works best for topics you understand.
· The outputs from these AI tools are often not accurate, appropriate, nor properly referenced. You should ensure that you have moderated and critically evaluated the outputs from generative AI tools before submission.
Turnitin is an originality checking and plagiarism prevention tool that enables checking of submitted written work for improper citation or misappropriated content. Each Turnitin assignment is checked against other students' work, the Internet and key resources selected by your Course Coordinator.
If you are instructed to submit your assessment via Turnitin, you will find the link to the Turnitin submission in your Moodle course site. You can submit your assessment well before the deadline and use the Similarity Report to improve your academic writing skills before submitting your final version.
Turnitin also has an AI detection tool. Students’ work will be put through the AI detection tool. This AI detection tool will identify outputs of generative AI (i.e., ChatGPT, Language Translation apps, Grammarly, Quillbot). However, the AI detection score cannot be seen by students. The score will only be visible to the person marking the work.
You can find out more information in the Turnitin information site for students.
The parameters for late submissions are outlined in the UNSW Assessment Implementation Procedure. If you submit your assessments after the due date, you will incur penalties for late submission unless you have Special Consideration (see below). Late submission is 5% per day (including weekends), calculated from the marks allocated to that assessment (not your grade). Assessments will not be accepted more than 5 days late.
You are expected to manage your time to meet assessment due dates. If you do require an extension to your assessment, please make a request as early as possible before the due date via the special consideration portal on myUNSW (My Student profile > Special Consideration). Lecturers and tutors do not have the ability to grant deadline extensions.
Special consideration is the process for assessing the impact of short-term events beyond your control (exceptional circumstances), on your performance in a specific assessment task.
You can find more detail and the application form. on the Special Consideration site.
Assessment 1: Tutorial Work (Class & research participation)
Case Leadership presentation
Weight: 12%
You will form. groups in Week 2 tutorials. Each tutorial will have 4 or 5 student groups. Each student group will present one week’s case for 15 minutes maximum.
General requirements for presentations
· Each group present up to 15 minutes.
· After the student group presentation, the group can choose to lead class discussion for another 10-15 minutes.
· Each group will choose one week’s case to present from Week 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9. The case materials will be available on Moodle two weeks before the presentation week.
· The case presentation group will try to address the case questions at the end of online quizzes.
· Before your scheduled tutorial sessions, group coordinators submit slides on behalf of the group via Turnitin in Moodle Case leadership section. Other group members please do not submit.
· For in-person tutorials, please print out your presentation slides and hand over to your tutors at the start of the tutorials; it is easier for tutors to mark your presentations with paper-version slides and give you feedback afterwards.
· All group members are to share the presentation equally. It is important that you work together. Each student is individually marked; each person within a group should present similar amount of time. Please practice and rehearse so that you do not go over time for each person.
· Please include presentation plan and list of contributions of each group member (i.e. who did what in the group).
· Put the presenter’s name on each corresponding slide.
· Put references on the last slide.
· Avoid too many texts on one slide (max 50 words on one slide as a suggestion).
· This serves as a practice presentation for your Assessment 2 Final Presentations.
Group formation
Students are encouraged to form. their own groups. Please form. your group in Week 2 tutorials and let your tutor know your group members and group coordinator.
The number of students in each group is 4 or 5. In each group, the members:
1) have both males and females.
2) at least one member is international students.
3) please find someone with similar interests in a marketing challenge.
4) please find someone with similar expectation for group work input and marks (pass, credit or HD).
5) You can ask these questions when approach someone as a potential group mate: What mark do you expect to get for MARK5700? How much time you would like to spend on the MARK5700 group work each week after forming a group? What is your expectation for your teammate?
Manage group dynamics
UNSW has a great resource for Guide to Group Work: please read it for good advice.
No free ride in this group project. Equal contribution is expected.
Management of group dynamics is your responsibility. You are expected to actively manage the group meetings and activities and record members’ contributions. For a group to perform. well, it is essential to:
· have clear responsibilities for each member.
· have consistent group norms, such as regular meetings, communication, division of labour, and quality of work.
· clearly document procedures and agreed outcomes.
· take note of the meeting discussions and group dynamics. Individual group members should keep a journal detailing all the activities undertaken in relation to their project.
· Peer evaluation form: If you believe that some members of your team contributed very little to the group work, you may fill in the peer evaluation form. and e-mail it to your tutor. Your tutor will ask all other group members to fill out the forms as well and make adjustments accordingly. Be prepared to provide independent evidence that supports your claims about the group members – typically records of shared collaboration sites, team meetings and processes, etc. The form. can be found in the Moodle Section “Assessment 2 and 3”.
Group coordinator
Each group has a group coordinator. The responsibilities of a group coordinator are the following:
• Manage group dynamics;
• Organize group meetings;
• Keep a journal of group activities and member contributions;
• Organize presentation practice, and ensure presentation goes smoothly and every member of the group is involved equally;
• Group coordinator should submit the presentation slides before presentation: physical copy to the tutor, and electronic copy to Turnitin.
• Group coordinator should submit the group report to the Turnitin.
Sometimes you need to address situations where one or more members do not attend meetings or complete work. If you feel one or several of group members are not equally/timely contributing, you should:
1) Clearly and early address such problems within the group (in a meeting, and keep a written record). The group coordinator has the responsibility to discuss the issues with the group member as early as possible.
2) If (1) does not help, consult the tutor. If there are any complaints against a group member, the tutor can request group members to submit their journals.
3) If (2) does not remedy the situation, the tutor will re-adjust marks (keep evidence of unequal contributions as well as evidence of having tried to solve the issue, in case that your group members disagree).
4) Marking group members up/down is the last option, getting group members to perform. is the priority.
