ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH PART

PART 1:Self-Reflection 

There is little doubt that COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on the way that this unit (and other units at QUT) have run this semester. For the first four weeks, students experienced how this unit is run in a face-to-face environment. However, from Week 4 onwards, discussion forums were moved to an online format.

This reflection asks students to self-reflect on the impact that COVID-19 has had on their studies in this unit, particularly given the large degree of groupwork involved.

Required:

Using the 5-point Likert scale provided below, students are asked to rank their answers to each of following five questions on a scale from 1 to 5. Please write a brief explanation underneath each score as to why you awarded that particular score.

The five (5) questions are:

1. I found the online discussions appropriately simulated face-to-face meetings and did not effect my communication with my peers and the facilitator.
2. I now feel better prepared for working remotely and collaborating with clients and colleagues in the future.
3. I would be comfortable and confident completing further education (CA, CPA, Masters etc.) in an online environment.
4. Overall, I felt I was not disadvantaged by doing this unit this semester in an online format, rather in other semesters where the unit is run face-to-face.
5. If I was offered a choice of face-to-face discussion forums or online discussion forums going forward, I would opt for face-to-face classes.
