Paper Description
Paper Structure
This is a B Trimester paper. The teaching component comprises one (1) two hour lecture per week. In addition, there will be two weeks, commencing in Week 3, in which students must attend a two hour Workshop. The Weeks of the workshops are:
Workshop 1: negotiation - Week 3
Workshop 2: negotiation - Week 4
Details of the Workshop streams that students can sign up for are given below and the dates and times of specific Workshops are set out in the weekly schedule of activities that can be accessed via the online timetable for this paper.
This paper has been designated as a work-integrated learning paper 'WIL'. To satisfy University requirements for a WIL paper the paper must include a practical component. The practical components for this paper are the negotiation workshops and negotiation assessment. As students will appreciate, it is preferable for students to attend the negotiation workshops and negotiation assessments in person. Accordingly, there is reasonable flexibility with the availability of the workshops and a wide range of times including after hours will be made for the negotiation assessment. Zoom negotiation workshops will be available. Arrangements will be made for students unable to participate in face-to-face negotiation assessments to complete the assessment online.
Your Lecturer will provide more detail about the sign-up process in class. If you have any queries concerning the sign-up process for the negotiation workshops and practical negotiation assessments, please contact your Lecturer.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:
Assessment
For the practical negotiation assessment, students must sign up prior to the commencement of the particular assessment. Students who do not sign up by the required date may forfeit their mark for that assessment. Sign-up instructions will be provided at the lecture and by notice uploaded to Moodle.
If you wish to record the negotiation assessment you may do so by bringing your own recording device, provided that you obtain the consent of the other students participating in the assessment. For the purposes of a review of mark, you must be able to provide evidence of the time, date and place of the recording you are submitting. It will not be possible to conduct a review of any practical assessment unless it has been recorded and such evidence is provided.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
