Task description
Presentation & Roundtable
Students will be asked to make a short presentation, submitted as a video to be viewed by the course staff and other students, and engage in an in-class roundtable/debate on the same topic during tutorial classes. Presentations will be designed to engage in real life local criminal justice issues and link them with criminal justice literature and theory. More information will be given on Blackboard, in lecture, and in tutorials.
Depending on class size, presentations will be given in groups where students will work in a team. Sign-ups for presentations will occur online during the first tutorial. Further details will be provided in tutorials and on Blackboard. It is the student's responsibility to make their tutor or the course coordinator aware of any issues regarding their group in a timely manner.
Recorded presentations are expected to be formal, using PowerPoint slides or other forms of visual aids. A copy of the visual aids or PowerPoint slides must be submitted online with the video presentations.
These requirements will be further discussed in the first tutorial. The presentation topics and details of the assessment will be posted on Blackboard.
This assessment item encourages students to develop skills in analysis, argumentation, and oral presentation of information. The ability to work with others, and to communicate information orally are skills frequently required in the workplace, and valued by the University in its graduate attributes. All members of the group will receive the same mark for the presentation component; however, the course coordinator retains the right to alter individual marks within a group under exceptional circumstances based on peer assessments or tutor observations.
The presentation and roundtable must show evidence of wider reading, at least 6 appropriate sources beyond the required readings must be used. (Please see Blackboard for details on appropriate sources). You will need to go beyond the textbook and assigned readings. Visual aids and arguments must include proper citation and reference of appropriate sources.
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS (INCL. RUBRICS) WILL BE POSTED ON BLACKBOARD - see relevant Assessment folder
Peer Assessment
A peer assessment of contribution to the group must be completed by all group members individually. This assessment requires each group member to rate the performance of the other group members. This will be completed at two time points, 1) by 2pm on Friday in Week 7 and 2) by 2pm Friday on the week following when your team presents the roundtable in class (Week 11 or 12). The assessments will be available on Blackboard. Failure to complete peer assessment result in zero marks for the group assignment.
These requirements will be further discussed in the first week of classes.
Group work resources will be provided on Blackboard and throughout the tutorial program. If a group is not functioning effectively or students have concerns in completing this assessment in their allocated group, support will be provided by Tutors and/or the Course Coordinator as appropriate. If students require assistance with their group functioning or have concerns about their group they must contact course staff in a timely manner in order for assistance to be provided.
Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the ‘Assessment’ folder in Blackboard for this course.
AI Use: This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use AI technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance. A failure to reference AI use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. Students must complete an AI usage declaration and submit it with their assignment. Failure to do so will result in a grade of zero for the assignment. Additional resources are available through UQ AI Student Hub.
Further, to pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of AI tools, as determined by tutors.
Hurdle requirements
Each student is required to demonstrate their understanding of their team's arguments through conversation with their tutor during tutorials. Tutors will be assessing students' familiarity with the arguments and depth of knowledge. Failure to pass this element of the assessment will result in the student failing the assignment (regardless of the group's mark). Students are also required to complete a peer assessment and AI Usage declaration. Failure to complete these tasks will result in the student receiving zero marks for the assignment.Submission guidelines
