LO 1Reflect on personal achievement and continuous improvement;
LO 2Prepare a personal development plan;
LO 3Demonstrate awareness and the use of evidence-based writing to support conclusions and recommendations;

  2. A reflective piece of writing that summarises the learning from the module and how it will be of use for both your studies and future plans (500 words).
  3. A personal development plan that focuses on academic skills.(200 words)

PART 1 – REPORT (800 WORDS)

Throughout the module we will be examining a variety of current business issues through the use of a variety of research materials.

You will need to choose one business issue from the list below to base your report on:

  1. Adapting to new technology
  2. Environmental sustainability
  3. Workforce planning

The report must:

  1. Give the full Harvard reference within the reference page for each item used, and the correct Harvard ‘shortened’ reference within the report;
  • Include both direct and indirect citations from a wide variety of sources;
  • Make use of the relevant research items from within the module;
  • Explains and discusses the business issue of your choice by describing what the issue is, and how

companies are reacting – positively or negatively?

A suggested format would be to create one paragraph of 250 words each, within the main section of the report for each of the questions raised in bullet point (d) i.e what the issue is and how companies are reacting , ensuring that the conclusion offered recommendations of how a business can solve the issue. The remaining 300 words need to be used for the introduction and conclusion of this report task.

PART 2 – REFLECTIVE WRITING (500 WORDS)

Using content from the module (e.g. academic skills) and the work you have produced for Part 1, reflect on the learning you have taken from the module and how this learning will support your studies and future career/business development plans.

The reflection needs to explain:

  1. What you have learnt from the module – this should be personal to you and not a list of all the topics covered in the module.
  • Why the learning may be important – what can you achieve with the new knowledge?
  • How is the learning going to be of use to you in your future studies and development plans?

You will need to include direct and indirect citations and a reference page.

A suggested format would be to briefly introduce the reflective piece and create one paragraph for each point above (approximately 150 words each).

PART 3 – PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (200 WORDS)

Create a personal development plan that focuses on the academic skills from within the module that you want to further develop and improve.

The plan needs to highlight:

  1. Which skills you will focus on;
  • How you plan to develop them.
  • A minimum of three different skills need to be included.

Marking Criteria for Foundation Level Programmes (FHEQ Level 3)

Provision at Level 3 (often forming part of a Foundation Year course) is designed to prepare students for higher education. At the end of Level 3, students will be expected to demonstrate the acquisition of foundation level skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to embark on a higher education programme of study at Level 4. In accordance with the national Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), this includes the ability to identify and use relevant understanding, methods and skills to complete tasks and address problems that, while well defined, have a measure of complexity. It includes taking responsibility for initiating and completing tasks and procedures as well as exercising autonomy and judgement within limited parameters. It also reflects awareness of different perspectives or approaches within an area of study or work. A pass mark (40% or above) demonstrates achievement of all learning outcomes associated with the module assessment
