This assignment gives you the opportunity to identify and demonstrate your understanding of key operational processes and activities within your organisation. You are required to identify and describe relevant examples of good practice in relation to relevant operational activities. In conclusion, you are asked to make recommendations and suggestions to improve operational effectiveness within your organisation. This assignment must be submitted in the form of a business report.
This assessment requires you to select 2 of the 3 Case Studies and complete ALL sections for each case study.
What is formative assessment? A formative assessment is the term used to describe feedback given to students on an aspect of their performance / work. Whilst formative work is ungraded and is not included in the assessment and does not contribute to the final module mark it is still a very important piece of work as it helps you the student to assess your level of understanding in a particular module. Providing you with the opportunity to undertake a task that relates to the type of work you may have to complete for your assessment (or draws on the same skills the students will need to apply to complete the actual assessment). This way you get a “practice go” at submitting work for which you receive feedback. This is why the University requires all modules to have an element of formative assessment.
