Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Group Assignment (20%)

In groups of 5-6, students are tasked with moderating and facilitating one of the industry discussions that
are scheduled during the seminars (tutorials) throughout the semester. To do so, students will prepare a
set of discussion questions (and coordinate them with their lecturer and the industry speaker beforehand),
moderate the respective session and open/conclude the session in a professional manner. As part of the
opening, students will introduce the class, the speaker and the overall discussion topic. After the session,
students will summarise key learnings on one (1) to two (2) A4 pages typed in 12-point font, 1.5 line
spacing for a summarising reflection. The reflective summary should include both a summary of the
industry speaker's main arguments as well as the students' own reflections on those arguments.
Discussion questions for the moderation should include
1. Questions regarding hospitality management practices tailored to the session's topic and the speaker's
position
2. Questions regarding skills and competences required in the industry speaker's position
3. Questions regarding recent trends and challenges affecting the hospitality industry
Students will be marked based on their moderation practices, including asking inspiring questions, as well
as on the content of the written reflection that summarises discussion learnings.
Students are required to submit a softcopy of their summarising reflection on Turnitin. These short
reflections are due prior to the seminar that follows the moderated industry discussion. Late submissions
will be approved by the unit coordinator. If the late submission is not approved, the late penalties will

apply.
Specific dates and industry speakers will be assigned during the first seminar.
It is the responsibility of the students to manage the group dynamics. It is recommended that each group
nominates a group leader who will help coordinate the various stages of the project. A peer review will
assess whether students contribute equally to the group work. Members with low peer review scores will
have their final marks adjusted downwards. Up to 25% deductions from the group's mark may be applied
in calculating individual marks depending on peer review outcomes.
2. Quizzes (30%)
The quizzes aim at assessing students' progress in understanding the basics of hospitality management.
Individually, students are required to complete three quizzes covering lecture/seminar contents and
additional readings. Questions will pertain to ALL the material covered in the three lectures/seminars
immediately prior to each scheduled quiz and additionally assigned readings. Questions will come in the
form of short essay style questions. The quizzes will be held in Teaching Weeks 4, 7 and 10 and are due
on seminar/tutorial days. You will have 24 hours to complete each quiz.
Please note that due to Covid-19 impacts, this assessment has been modified. This assessment will be
completed in the form of short take-home open book examinations. Students are required to submit a
softcopy of their quiz answers on Turnitin.
3. Report (50%)
In groups of 5-6, students will create, develop and pitch a business proposal for a new hospitality offer.
This new hospitality offer needs to be linked to particular consumer needs. Students also need to highlight
the new hospitality offer's competitive advantage.
This will be a comprehensive and convincing report on what students are proposing. The report will apply
the tools of strategy analysis and product development discussed during the seminar.
The assessment comprises TWO parts:
 
A presentation (20%) - During the seminar in Teaching Week 11, each student group will conduct a 10-
minute pitch of their proposed new hospitality offer. The presentation should be a snapshot of key findings
which students present in the report. Due to the short presentation time available, students will need to be
very selective on what they present. The presentation should comprise:
1. Status quo: Key findings from your analysis of markets, consumers and sources of competitive
advantage
2. The problem: Statement on problem/opportunity
3. The solution: The new hospitality offering
1. What? Value proposition!
2. Who wants it? Better than the competition? Positioning!
3. How to make money? Business Model!

Only the best presentations will be selected for presentation to an industry panel in Teaching Week
12.
Students are required to submit a softcopy of their presentation slides on Blackboard.
 
A written report (30%) - The business proposal must be presented in a minimum of fifteen (15) and a
maximum of twenty (20) A4 pages typed in 12-point font, 1.5 line spacing. Students are required to submit
a softcopy of their reports on Turnitin prior to the seminar in Teaching Week 11. Failure to submit the
softcopy will constitute a late submission. Late submissions will be approved by the unit coordinator. If the
late submission is not approved, the late penalties will apply.
The report will comprise:
1. The status quo: Analysis of the status quo
1. Short summary of desk research: Existing literature on the topic (consumer behaviour, supply

side dynamics etc)

2. Market analysis: Porter's Five Forces Framework (including an analysis of existing competitors)
3. Analysis of sources for a potential competitive advantage
4. Analysis of consumer needs: Target groups with the 'Personas' tool

2. The problem: Summary statement on problem/opportunity

3. The solution: The new hospitality offering
1. Value proposition
2. Positioning of the new hospitality offering: Semantic Profiles or Themes-Markets-Matrix Tools
3. Consumer interactions with the new hospitality offering: Customer Journey or Service
Blueprint Tools
4. A Canvas Business Model

4. The benefits: Conclusion to summarise the benefits of the new offering

It is the responsibility of the students to manage the group dynamics. It is recommended that each group
nominates a project manager who will help coordinate the various stages of the project. Each group
should then prepare a project plan containing a checklist of tasks and a timeline for these tasks and discuss
it with their lecturer. Each group member is expected to sign off on the checklist as and when each task is
completed. This signed plan should be submitted together with the final report.
A peer review will assess whether students contribute equally to the group work. Members with low peer
review scores will have their final marks for presentation and report adjusted downwards. Up to 25%
deductions from the group's mark may be applied in calculating individual marks depending on peer
review outcomes.

Pass requirements
Receive an overall grade of 5 or above and a mark greater than or equal to 50.

Assessment Moderation

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning
outcomes, and that students work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation
of assessments are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from
policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/

Pre-marking moderation
When: This is done in the period leading up to the assessment due date
What is done?

l Assessments tasks are reviewed by a co-examiner

l Assessment task details are given in the Unit Outline
l Marking guides or assessment rubrics are made available to students (“marking criteria”)
l Markers collaborate to achieve consensus of the task and grading procedures to ensure your work will be
fairly graded and is consistent with other students across all locations
l Any threats to assessment integrity and security will addressed as required.

Intra-marking / Post-marking moderation

Intra-Marking Moderation
When: This is done during the time of the grading process.
What is done?

l The Unit Coordinator is responsible for the management of marking/ grading, moderation, and submission
of results and finalisation of grades.
l The Unit Coordinator ensures all markers have the same understanding of marking and feedback
expectations.
l Marking guides/rubrics are used wherever possible to minimise variation across the marking team.

 
Post-Marking Moderation
When: This is done after completion of the grading process.
What is done?

l Grades are re-checked by ‘Check Second marking’ in which a random sample of student work is double-
checked for consistency against marking criteria.
l For borderline grades (just above/below a pass mark), grades are double checked to ensure they are
correct and consistent against marking criteria.
l Very high and very low grades are double checked to ensure they are correct and consistent against
marking criteria.
l The UC confirms the fairness and consistency of the marking process with the grading team.
