CQUniversity Unit Profile.

This assessment requires you to participate in online group discussions during Weeks 1 to 5 of the term. A Discussion Board will be set up on Moodle for this task. The Unit Coordinator will post the weekly discussion topic or question on the Discussion Board on the Monday of each week. You are required to contribute to the discussion by the end of that week (Sunday). You must respond to the topic or question posed by the Unit Coordinator with 1 post and also respectfully comment on at least 1 post by another student. Your comment must be substantive, positive or constructive and adhere to the CQUniversity Code of Conduct. Other posts will not be visible until you have posted your own post.

The word limit for each post or comment is 200 words (±10%).

Level of GenAI use allowed will vary between Level 1 and Level 4 by question based on content, please be aware of what you can and can't do. Look for the "Level of GenAI use Allowed" tag on each question.

The 72 hour grace period does not apply to any portion of this assessment.

Assessment Criteria:

A minimum of 1 post and 1 reply per week, resulting in a total of ten (10) interactions over the five-week period, must be submitted on the Moodle Discussion Board and:

• Each post is no more than 200±10% words long;
• Each post is relevant to the question asked or weekly topic of discussion;
• Each post is factually correct and written with very few spelling or grammatical errors;
• Each reply to other posts is substantive, positive or constructive and delivered in a professional manner in line with the CQUniversity Code of Conduct.

Your task is to explain a basic concept of physics or chemistry presented in Week 6 to Week 10 to the unit coordinator on Zoom. You will choose which concept to teach from the list provided on Moodle. The 3-minute live presentation will be delivered to the unit coordinator with 2 minutes for questions drawn from a question bank and responses. We strongly suggest you practice your presentation with others before you deliver it live online. The presentation schedule will be available on moodle.

It is your responsibility to secure a scheduled presentation time using the presentation schedule link on moodle. Students who do not schedule a time slot will not be marked and fail the assessment.

The 72-hour Grace period does not apply.

Level of GenAI use allowed:
Level 2: You may use Al for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas.

The following criteria will be used to mark your assessment:

• The content is what was selected and is taught correctly and the student is the presenter.
• The content must not be read from a screen or paper script (eye contact with the camera, don't put a script behind the camera...).
• The response to the question is prompt and correct (you will not have time to look up the answer).
• The student has followed the instructions for video presentation (student's face is clearly visible, blank/unobtrusive background, control of the space, professional dress and sound quality).

Author a report on the case study of your choice, either Option A or Option B, using the Assessment Brief in each module and learning materials from Week 11 and 12. Your report must be less than 800 words ±10% not including figures, tables, equations and citations. You must include at least one correctly referenced scientific journal article including a linked Digital Object Identifier (doi). 

Once your case study is complete, you must create a 5-minute video discussing your authorship of the case study, including:

1. What you learned authoring the case study (a surprising fact, interesting trivia, etc.);
2. How you would change the way you created the report if you had to do it again (you can include how you might use GenAI or not for example);
3. What was most difficult about completing the case study;
4. Did the case study help you to better understand the topics? If not, what would you change?

These answers should reflect the assessment brief study and should not be scripted. More detail on the case studies, the reflective presentation and marking criteria will be available on Moodle.

Level of GenAI use allowed:
Level 2: You may use Al for planning, idea development, and research. You are permitted to use Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) models as supplementary or complementary resources to aid your learning and idea development in this unit. However, assessments must be written in your own words. Any ideas or text obtained using Gen AI or other sources must be paraphrased and referenced accordingly. Guidelines for referencing Gen AI in your assessments can be accessed via the link: https://delivery-cqucontenthub.stylelabs.cloud/api/public/content/Guidelines_referencing_Artificial_Intelligence?v=7f19c75d. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas by attaching the Assessment AI Declaration with your submission.
