AWL200 Leadership and Transformation Trimester 2 2024Python

Java Python AWL200 Leadership and Transformation

Trimester 2, 2024

Welcome

Change is inevitable in our personal and professional lives. While it provides opportunities to grow and innovate, facilitating positive and sustainable transformation can be challenging. Through theoretical investigation, case study analysis and

professional development activities, you will investigate the nature of change and discover what it takes to lead with purpose and resilience in response to technological disruption, shifting stakeholder needs and expectations, and challenging

conditions and environments. The unit will help you understand what constitutes effective individual and team behaviours

and performance, and how to cultivate and contribute to them. You will also explore your own leadership capabilities, and be empowered throughout the unit to develop the skills, knowledge and experience to become a leader in your chosen field and personal and professional endeavours.

This Unit Guide provides you with the key information about this unit. Please read it carefully and refer to it frequently

throughout the study period. Your unit site also provides information about your rights and responsibilities. We will assume you have read this before the unit commences, and we expect you to refer to it throughout the study period.

To be successful in this unit, you must:

. read all materials in preparation for your learning activities and follow up each with further study and research on the topic

  start your assessment tasks well ahead of the due date

  read or listen to all feedback carefully and use it in your future work

  attend and engage in all educator facilitated (scheduled) learning activities and other learning experiences as part of the unit desig

Unit development in response to student feedback

Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link).

As this unit is running for the first time this year, there is not yet any feedback compiled from students who have previoulsy undertaken it.

We look forward to student's input via the eVALUate survey at the end of trimester regarding what could be enhanced, removed or otherwise improved in future iterations of AWL200 Leadership and Transformation.

If you have any concerns about the unit during the trimester, please contact the unit teaching team - preferably early in the trimester - so we can discuss your concerns, and make adjustments, if appropriate.

Your Unit Learning Outcomes

Each unit in your course is a building block towards Deakin's Graduate Learning Outcomes - not all units develop and assess every Graduate Learning Outcome (GLO).

ULO	These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can:	href="https://www.deakin.edu.au/about-deakin/vision-and-values/teaching-and-learning/deakin-graduate-learning-outcomes" Deakin Graduate Learning  href="https://www.deakin.edu.au/about-deakin/vision-and-values/teaching-and-learning/deakin-graduate-learning-outcomes" Outcomes
ULO1	Investigate leadership competencies  relevant to their disciplinary area and examine the role of leadership in inspiring, motivating and influencing change.	GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO4: Critical thinking
ULO2	Identify and articulate how individual differences can shape leadership styles, situations and practices.	GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO2: Communication GLO4: Critical thinking
ULO3	Critically analyse and evaluate the capabilities of self and others to individually or collectively respond to change and transformation.	GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO4: Critical thinking GLO5: Problem solving
ULO4	Demonstrate a capacity to exhibit and model responsible, ethical, inclusive and accountable leadership and team behaviours.	GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO6: Self-management GLO7: Teamwork

Assessing your achievement of the unit learning outcomes

Hurdle requirements

Brief summary of hurdle requirement	Rationale	Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes
Participation in leadership simulation exercise 一 ungraded	A key focus of this unit is on enhancing students’employability skills in leadership. AWL200 Leadership and Transformation Trimester 2, 2024Python  Students will work in multi-disciplinary teams to undertake a simulated leadership exercise and it is vital that each member contributes to the activity in order to be able to complete the final assessment task. It is a necessary activity to enable (discovery-driven’learning and an opportunity for students to test and enhance their leadership abilities in a controlled environment, as well as their skills in critical reflection. Therefore, the simulated leadership exercise itself is a   hurdle requirement, representing the vehicle by which students can complete the graded assessment and demonstrate core   ULOs and GLOs.	GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities GLO2: Communication GLO4: Critical thinking GLO5: Problem solving GLO6: Self-management GLO7: Teamwork

Summative assessment (tasks that will be graded or marked)

NOTE: It is your responsibility to keep a backup copy of every assignment and the materials used to develop/complete it where possible (e.g. written/digital reports, essays, videos, images). In the unusual event that one of your

submissions becomes corrupted, is incorrectly submitted or otherwise lost, you may be asked to submit the backup copy.

Any work you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting breaches of academic

integrity such as collusion, plagiarism and contract cheating. You must understand your responsibility to act with honesty and integrity in your studies as Deakin takes all breaches very seriously. Make sure you read Your rights and responsibilities as a     student in this unit to find out more about academic integrity.

Deakin has a universal assessment submission time of 8 pm AEDT/AEST. A late penalty will apply to assessments submitted after 11.59 pm AEDT/AEST.
