It is expected that students will draw on content from Topics 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Turnitin will be set up on the unit’s BB site so you can submit your assessment that way.
1. THE KEY THING WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN ASSIGNMENTS AND THE EXAM IS THAT STUDENTS UNDERSTAND TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES CAN BE APPLIED SO THAT PEOPLE CAN
BECOME ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS.
2. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ARGUMENTS ABOUT SOMEONE’S CHARACTER TRAITS
(NATURE).
3. RATHER WE ARE LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT
ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS CAN BE LEARNED (NURTURE).
4. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE YOU UNDERSTAND THERE MUST BE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
FOR YOUR INVESTORS
AND THAT YOU CAN SHOW WITH REASONING WHAT THAT ROI MIGHT BE.
This is an advanced unit so to a degree
we now expect you to be able to show you can do your own research to a point
.
However, if you go to the link on the BB site for this unit called ‘News and other useful resources specific to this unit’ you will find that
the first six videos there relate to ROI and how to do a pitch.
The latter of which is essentially what this assessment is.
