Instructions on Assessment:
Individual report – 80% weighting
As an individual student you are expected to assume the role of an Event Consultant to bid for and manage an event.
The student will make their own event selection for example these can include corporate events such as a product launch, conferencing, an incentive travel event, staging an exhibition or – community events such as a sporting event, a festival, a celebration or a heritage event.
It is important that the event is the choice of the student these are just a few examples. It is not expected to make reference to an actual event budget; however, reference can be made to limitations and constraints keeping this realistic to the report.
The components of the report are centred on 3 core elements of the Teaching and Learning Plan. The components within the report should address:
- 1.Planning & project management
- Conceptualizing the Event
- Design of the event
- 2.Operations & execution
- Sponsorship
- Working with Partners
- Marketing
- Service Delivery
- Risk assessment
- 3.Event evaluation
- a.Issues relating to how you would evaluate your event
Reports should be 3000 words in length.
10% of the 80% marks are assigned to the presentation of the report, including correct format (report); planning/structure; writing style; word limit; professional in style; appropriate and creative use of Appendices if used; proofread.
90% of the 80% marks are assigned to content.
Late submission of work
Where coursework is submitted without approval, after the published hand-in deadline, the following penalties will apply.
For coursework submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval, 10% of the total marks available for the assessment (i.e.100%) shall be deducted from the assessment mark.
For clarity: a late piece of work that would have scored 65%, 55% or 45% had it been handed in on time will be awarded 55%, 45% or 35% respectively as 10% of the total available marks will have been deducted.
The Penalty does not apply to Pass/Fail Modules, i.e. there will be no penalty for late submission if assessments on Pass/Fail are submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline.
Coursework submitted more than 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval will be regarded as not having been completed. A mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment and the module will be failed, irrespective of the overall module mark.
For clarity: if the original hand-in time on working day A is 12noon the 24 hour late submission allowance will end at 12noon on working day B.
These provisions apply to all assessments, including those assessed on a Pass/Fail basis.

Please note, in text citations [e.g. (Smith, 2011)] and direct secondary quotations [e.g. “dib-dab nonsense analysis” (Smith, 2011 p.123)] are INCLUDED in the word count.
If this word count is falsified, students are reminded that under ARTA this will be regarded as academic misconduct.
If the word limit of the full assignment exceeds the +10% limit, 10% of the mark provisionally awarded to the assignment will be deducted. For example: if the assignment is worth 70 marks but is above the word limit by more than 10%, a penalty of 7 marks will be imposed, giving a final mark of 63.
Students must retain an electronic copy of this assignment (including ALL appendices) and it must be made available within 24hours of them requesting it be submitted.
Note:For those assessments or partial assessments based on calculation, multiple choice etc., marks will be gained on an accumulative basis. In these cases, marks allocated to each section will be made clear.
